The Englisch Daughter is a complex Amish story by Cindy and Erin Woodsmall. While there are many elements common to the typical Amish story, it seems there are a few more complications than might be normal. With two relationships at stake, as well as long-term dreams and lots of secrets, there is plenty to keep you fully engaged from beginning to end.
The characters are rich, with lots of personality. The situations they find themselves in don't always have simple solutions, leaving room for some interesting twists and turns along the way.
Fans of great Amish fiction should find The Englisch Daughter a fascinating read that is hard to put down.
Thanks to Waterbrook & Multnomah for providing a copy of the book. I am happy to share my own thoughts in this review.
