Home All Along by Beth Wiseman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m still on the journey. But my steps are larger and more confident as I navigate my path. The light is easier to see when you step away from the darkness.
Charlotte, an Englisher loves her Amish community and her Amish man Daniel. This is my first read of this series so there was some history I missed but was caught up very quickly. I will definitely be reading the other two. However, that said, I felt a real connect to Charlotte who has come from a dysfunctional family. A mother who was on drugs and Charlotte and her siblings in foster care. Charlotte has found stability and love where she had only chaos and insecurity before.
She has made amends with her past and her mother and is moving forward to a future. A future she is not sure of because of fear of commitment to Daniel and the Amish community. It is when her long lost sister comes into her life that she begins to unravel some of her insecurities. Her sister Andrea does not believe in heaven or hell but she does believe in a higher power. She has her own secrets but as she and her sister draw closer, Andrea draws closer to what true love is.
There is many issues going on within the Amish community that we also share in our English world. Cancer, suffering and the issues of abandonment. Daniel deals with anger and Andrea deals with her own insecurities but it is with faith that they come together in community that we all hunger for. I loved all the characters as they show our weakness and what true faith can overcome. A home all along.
A Special Thank You to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.
