I knew Ruth and Levi would get together at the end but events kept me turning pages from start to finish. ( ) “Autumn Grace” was written by Marianne Ellis as one of the novels in her Amish Seasons Series. Ruth Schrock is the oldest of a large family with seven daughters. She helps out on the farm as much as a brother would. Her father is deacon of their community. Her mother is expecting in a few months. It seems that everyone is always commenting on Ruth and her unconventional way of acting. Even though she has been baptized, she has problems conforming to the rigid standards her father expects. She is approached by a nearby Amish community to teach in their school. Her father gives permission, but seems to think that Ruth will fail. Levi Yoder is an unmarried man who is on the school board and who lives near the school house. He is a quiet man who takes care of wounded or sick wild animals until they can be released back into the wild. He helps Ruth with different problems that she has with the other members of the school board and also with her scholars, as the students are called. I found this to be a very entertaining book. I always marvel at the different story lines that authors dream up and write about. There is always a common theme of romance, but also problems that need to be overcome. Usually, I find that the main characters have a difficult time adhering to the Ordnung or unwritten laws for their particular community. Some of those laws I find ludicrous and irritating. I know that I could never be Amish, although I would certainly enjoy a life that is quieter and more relaxed than what we live today.

Appartient à la sérieAmish Seasons (2)
"With the change of seasons comes a change of heart--and an unexpected journey of love, compassion, and discovery. The oldest of seven daughters, Ruth Schrock has grown up believing that her uncompromising father has never really approved of her independent nature. Though devoted to her community and her faith, she's always found it difficult to follow the straight and narrow path of a deacon's daughter. When Ruth is asked to teach in a nearby community, she jumps at the opportunity--feeling that God has given her a chance at a life of meaning. Ruth never could have guessed that her new path would lead to Levi Yoder. Handsome Levi is a shy and quiet man. He lives alone and seems most comfortable spending time with the injured animals he rescues and cares for. Ruth and her all-embracing love of life confuse yet captivate Levi. With her school across the road from his farm, the attraction grows--but so do the conflicts. Can these two opposites find a path they can walk together into the future?"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
