Rumspringa's Hope By Beth Shriver



Torn between the affections of two men, will Emma's time away from home help her choose?
Although promised to the widowed neighbor Zeb, Emma is considering leaving her Amish community to watch over her younger brother Mark when he leaves for Philadelphia to explore the outside world during his Rumspringa.   There, she reconnects with her former beau Caleb, who protects the Amish teens, introducing them to his life evangelizing and helping the homeless. Unbeknownst to Emma, Caleb is glad for the opportunity to spend time with her and hopes to win her back.   Struck by the power of evangelism and outreach, Emma begins to feel a draw to Caleb's way of life. When she doesn’t return home when she promised, Zeb goes to the city to find her, forcing Emma to choose in which of their two worlds she really belongs.

Well you all already know what I am going to say about Beth's latest book, It was fantastic I could not put it down it was so good. It was not long enough for me I wanted more of Emma and Caleb's story.
This is the first time I have read an Amish book all about the running around the teens do. It was not your everyday Amish story that has been told over and over again. It is a fresh new story.
I loved the evangelism storyline it was fantastic.
I gave this book 5 stars two times and I HIGHLY recommend this book.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.

  3. Another Amish book, you would think by now they are all running together with the same old story. I like that you said this one was a fresh new story. Thanks Mary
