Book one in the Plain City Peace series.It’s 1971, and Betsie Troyer’s peaceful and predictable life is about to become anything but.When their parents flee the Amish, nineteen-year-old Betsie and her seventeen-year-old sister Sadie are distraught. Under the dubious guidance of a doting aunt, the girls struggle to keep the secret, praying their parents will return before anyone learns the truth—a truth that may end all hopes of Betsie’s marriage to Charley Yoder.Learn more at Stephanie’s website.
Feeling betrayed by your parents is hard. But, that is just what Betsie feels when her parents decide to leave the Amish Church. Her parents give her and her sister the chance to go with them but choosing to stay is their choice. This author does a great job of showing us Betsie's choice to stay is because of the future she might have with Charlie. Having to keep a secret that your parents is gone is very hard for her. Although, she doesnt have time to dwell as she is assigned to take care of her cousin's story. I love that there are discussion questions at the end of the book. Its makes this one great for bookclubs. She has also included a recipe for Mashed Potato Donuts which we have tried out hand at and LOVE THEM! This is deff a book of coming of age and the strength of faith and love.
