Leslie Gould continues her series of Amish stories based on Shakespeare's plays in Becoming Bea, Book Four in her Courtships of Lancaster County series. Her inspiration for this story comes from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.Becoming Bea brings together familiar characters from the previous books in the series and provides updates on their lives. Bea and Ben are highlighted as they try to work their way through past rivalries and determine whether they have feelings deeper than the conflicts they have experienced throughout most of their lives.
Because of decisions Bea has to make when her family takes a trip she is not interested in joining, she finds herself in a situation where she is able to learn more about herself and find out where her true passions lie.
My favorite element of the story was watching her as she truly became the Bea she was intended to be.
In this story Leslie develops an interesting cast of characters with a wide range of personalities. From time to time, I had a little trouble keeping up with all of them and how they fit together, but each one played an important part in the story. The challenges involved in this Amish setting of caring for so many babies and other details of a busy household certainly kept the story moving.
Fans of Amish fiction should find Becoming Bea an enjoyable read. Thanks to Litfuse Publicity Group for providing a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
