Rose Bender has just accepted Luke Lantz’s proposal with apprehension. Although they have been best friends all of their life, Rose feels as though she doesn’t really know Luke. She feels like he may be hiding a secret from her and she desperately wants to find out what it is. During her quest for answers she is forced to examine herself realizing Luke may not be the only one with secrets.The second part of the book is A Perfect Match by Kathleen Fuller. The story follows Naomi King, who has had her heart broken and remains hopeful she will find her “perfect match.” Zeke Lapp, a cousin to ... moreChester Lapp, comes to town for the wedding and is immediately drawn to Naomi. Naomi has a hard time letting go of the past. When Zeke starts to show an interest in her she pushes him away. Will Naomi be able to trust again? Or will she keep her heart fully guarded?Part three is A Perfect Plan by Beth Wiseman. While making wedding preparations everything seems to go wrong for Priscilla and Chester. You name it and it happens! Priscilla starts to doubt that she is on the right path and wonders if God is trying to tell her something. She knows she loves Chester with all of her heart but they just can’t seem to catch a break. I really enjoyed this book. It is nice to read a story from different viewpoints.
review 2: I couldn't suspend reality long enough to enjoy this story. All the Amish that I have met or learned about have held tradition in high regard. They aren't a group who is looking for something mysterious or new. They also aren't led by their emotions. I was so shocked when the book started and the young unmarried couple had gone somewhere alone in the boy's buggy. Then when she ran her fingers through his hair and she asked if they would be able to kiss more now that they were engaged was the last straw. Even the Mennonite practice "hands free" dating. Touching your spouse before you are married isn't allowed. The previews mention trouble with the bride's attendant. What? There are no attendants. The ceremony focuses on God and marriage, not the couple. This book was a total disappointment. less
