The Amish Groom by Mindy Starns Clark & Susan Meissner

Wow. I loved this book! I love a book told in the first person and this one did not disappoint.

Imagine you had an Amish mother who left the faith and married your Englisher Father. Then imagine your father leaves you with your Amish grandparents after your mothers death to be raised by them while he starts a new family. But what if you never really understood where you belong? You don't feel right in the Amish world and you're not sure about the English world. So what do you say when the father you haven't seen much of asks you to come and stay with your 14 year old half brother in California while he and your stepmother are out if the country? This is the question facing Tyler when he gets that phone call from his father. Thus begins Tyler's journey to find out if he belongs in the Amish world or the English world.

This book takes the reader on a journey. A journey of self discovery and submission. The things Tyler learns while on this journey will surprise not only him but the reader too. In a lot of ways the reader can identify with some of the hurdles Tyler faced. Where does he finally decide he belongs? Well, if I tell you that then I would be depriving you of reading a wonderful book. Don't let this one pass you by. I was given a review copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
