Amish Wanderer By Laura V. Hilton



Desperate for a Ticket Out
Bethany Weiss is ready to leave town. Tongues haven't stopped clacking in Jamesport, MO, since her daed, the bishop, was admitted to a mental hospital after hurting their small Amish community. But her sharpest wounds Bethany hides from prying eyes, quietly biding her time until she can take a chance at a new life—away from Jamesport and away from God.
Searching for a Home
Silas Beiler was kicked out of his own family's home. Dogged by a rough childhood and a family who blames him for each new disaster, he begins hitchhiking across the country, sleeping in barns where he can, working for food when possible—headed for Pennsylvania, in the hope of some stability.
A Memory of Lemonade
When Bethany spies a man asleep in the hayloft, she first fears the return of an unwelcome suitor. But when it is Silas who turns and speaks, the memories flood back: a happy summer six years ago full of lemonade, long walks, and budding courtship. Now, however, those months of bliss seem naïve and idyllic. Will their old love overcome new pain? Or will hurt and rejection continue to haunt their path?

Hilton is one of the top five Amish authors that I will NOT miss. Her books are so well written you forget your reading a book it's as if your watching a movie.
In this latest masterpiece you are going to be up all night reading unable to put the book down.
Silas, is one of those characters that is not perfect he has struggles and its like he's real not a fictional character. I have to tell you I liked him, a lot.
I gave this book 4 stars and I recommend you reading this one!
I received  this book from the publisher for review. A favorable was not required and all views expressed are my own.

  5. The last time you reviewed this author's book, I had my library order a copy for me. Well they forgot to put my name down and it came in and it was over three months before I could get it because everyone kept checking it out. This time I will make sure they put my name on it when they order it.
