The Amish Newcomer by Patrice Lewis
About THE AMISH NEWCOMER from Harlequin:
Can a modern city girl ever become one of the Plain People?
She needed a safe place to hide. Instead, she found a place to call home.
Television journalist Leah Porte never imagined her career would end with her witnessing a murder. Now she’s temporarily living among the Amish in witness protection. Instead of feeling alone and adrift, Leah is warmly welcomed by the close-knit community—and Amish bachelor Isaac Sommer. But caught between two very different worlds, choosing love would mean leaving her big city life behind forever.
My Review after reading the book:
Leah Porte is a television news reporter that witnesses a brutal murder and is now in witness protection living with an Amish family. Everything about the Amish lifestyle is different than how she was raised. It is such a change to go from a celebrity living in Los Angeles, to living on a farm in the Amish countryside with the Yoder family. This may be the biggest challenge she has ever had to face. Having a handsome friend of the family always around makes it even more of a challenge.
Isaac Sommer is back living with his family in the Amish countryside after living away from their lifestyle for a few years. He is helping his aging mother and the Yoder family. His dream is to have a wife and a family and continue to live a quiet life devoted to God. What he does not count on is the spunky independent woman who has come to live with the Yoder’s who catches his eye.
Patrice Lewis wrote a brilliant story of family, faith, and community. This was not only a beautiful story of the journey of Leah, but the book educated the reader about what life is like in an Amish community. As I was reading the book, I reflected on what a simpler lifestyle would be like. One without technology and social pressure. It really made me stop and think. This is one of the best books I have read this year, one that touched my heart and soul. Thank you so much to the author Patrice Lewis, Harlequin Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous!
