| An Amish Buggy Ride |
Waterfall Press, 2014
In that unique voice of hers, Sarah
Price has penned a heartrending but lovely story of romance, secrets,
guilt, and shame – under the guise of a seemingly perfect Amish community;
overflowing with colorful daffodils, robin red-breasts, and sparkling, fish-filled
rivers.
Kate is a lovely young Amish woman,
whose life and the lives of her entire family were changed the night a
terrible tragedy took place. Feeling responsible, Kate's life consists of
helping her father run the family farm, attending church, and helping her aunt
with her new baby. After all, how could she possibly go to singings,
laugh, and be social as if nothing had ever happened? Her life is made even
more miserable by the guilt piled on her by an obnoxious family member and
the obvious darkness hovering over her family. When the handsome and
friendly Samuel Esh comes into Kate's life she has no social skills, but
slowly begins to open up as a rosebud in the summer sun. However, she
knows deep down she can never have Samuel for she has greatly sinned, not
once but twice…
In her own exquisite style, Sarah
Price has once again penned a unique "out-of-the box" Amish tale
guaranteed to captivate the reader from page one! Ms. Price masterfully
writes of an Amish community – where the consequences of keeping
dark secrets are as far reaching as the ripples in a stream, and
where love hides a multitude of sins! An Amish Buggy Ride is truly a wonderful story of romance and redemption,
and one that made me cry because of the stark reality of the storyline.
Not your typical cookie cutter Amish read – be sure to put this one at the top
of your wishlist!

ReplyDeleteKAYLEE, I loved First Impressions. After I read the book I wanted to watch the movie Pride and Prejudice again, and all thru the book I kept seeing Keira Knightley and Mr. Darcy! lol
DeleteSarah, I would love to read one of your books. I have not read any of your books, but this one sounds GREAT.

DeleteGuilt can really do a number on your self-esteem. I'd love to read this and see how she overcomes her feelings of guilt and learns to live again. Thank you for the chance! ~ Mippy/Sabrina :)
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed it can, MIPPY. It can paralyze and keep a person from leading a normal life, as with poor Kate here. But she will have you rooting for her all the way! Thx for coming by!
DeleteLike Judy, I'm already drawn in by the cover! :)
ReplyDelete~Blessings!
I'm a cover girl, too, EMCCLURE! :) Blessings~
DeleteLOL LOL Diana, my mother used to tell me the same thing. Also, when I frowned she would tell me she hoped it didn't freeze that way. By the way, I had a brother whose name was Paul. Maxie PS: I want to say hello to Marta. Nice to meet someone from Italy. Welcome to a great blog with these wonderful OWG ladies. Maxie
ReplyDelete> mac262(at)me(dot)com <
Hehe, MAXIE. Well, then you must have smiled all the time bc that did freeze on your lovely face!
DeleteThank you for welcoming MARTA! And for your kind words about the blog! :)
Beautiful review, Diana - thank you!! I haven't read any of Sarah's books, however, after reading your review - would love to read "An Amish Buggy Ride"!! The number of comments indicate Sarah is a fabulous author with many followers.
ReplyDeleteThe story line indicates, as you said, it isn't a typical Amish book and your review hints that secrets in the book are uncovered to reveal problems the Amish have that are similar to ours, yet might not often be covered in most Amish books. This makes it very enticing to me - I love stories of redemption!!
P.S. I love visiting Amish communities - the cover of "An Amish Buggy Ride" is beautiful and very realistic and typical of what you see in an Amish community.
DeleteThank you, BONNIE! You are quite right about the secrets. Sarah spends time living with the Amish from time to time and I think that enables her to have a greater insight into some of the problems they have that are similar to ours. People are people no matter what religion they are or how perfect they seem to be. I hope you enjoy reading it!
