Uncovering Her Amish Past
Love Inspired Novel by Patrice Lewis
Penelope Moore has been tasked with staying at an inn in Pierce, Montana to convince the owner, Simon Troyer, to franchise with her employer, Quirky B&B. Simon is Amish and set on proving he can run a successful business on his own. Penelope’s work task is thwarted when Simon remarks how Penelope looks just like his sister-in-law. Penelope eventually learns that Simon’s sister-in-law, Sarah, is her long-lost twin.
As a result of this revelation, Penelope is welcomed in the community, and she begins to have second thoughts about trying to convince Simon to franchise his inn. Additionally, as she spends more time with Simon, she begins to develop feelings for him. The problem, though, is he is Amish and she is not. The longer she stays there, though, she begins to feel at home with the community. Is it possible that she may want to convert to Amish? Is she ready to leave her English world behind?
This was a sweet romance that emphasized the importance of faith, family, and community. The twin aspect of this novel created something very unique in Amish fiction. My only issue was that the novel was rather short and there could have been better character development.
Rating: 5/5
