Beth Wiseman's Home All Along finishes up her Amish Secrets series, stories filled with struggles and joys for a variety of characters -- both Amish and English.
Beth has filled her story with interesting characters, acting and interacting in many complex relationships. Several events happen that keep the interest level high and the search for the resolution of questions engaging throughout much of the story. Lessons of trust, love, and forgiveness play out as new issues come up and new characters come on the scene. Making difficult choices requires evaluating what is important, what faith is all about, and how to find a place that can really be home.
Home All Along could probably be enjoyed on its own, but reading the entire series would make the details much more meaningful. Charlotte's journey from her living a typical English life in Texas to her life in Amish Country is an important thread throughout all three books. Her connection to her Amish friends, whom she learns to think of as family, is also much better understood after reading the entire series.
Thank you to BookLook Bloggers for providing a copy of the book. I am happy to share my own thoughts in this review.
