Caught between a stifling Amish community and an unnerving outside world, a devout young woman on the run is about to become the newest arrival to West Kootenai, Montana. On the day of her sister's death, Rebecca Troyer took her first step away from the Amish. Rebecca had always strayed a little outside the fold--a job at an Englisch bakery, long weekends with non-Amish friends--but nothing could have prepared her family for what she is about to do: Rebecca is abandoning the community to attend nursing school. She is headed to college, into "the world." But she has to make it across the country first. When she stops in West Kootenai, at the home of a lapsed Amish friend from her youth, Rebecca finds a lot more in Montana than she had bargained for--namely a handsome working man named Caleb Hooley. Caleb is at a crossroads of his own. A daredevil bachelor with high standards, he has decided he'll never find an Amish woman who can quench his thirst for adventure. Needless to say, the pretty Amish girl who has fled her community in secret catches his attention immediately. As hearts are opened and secrets are revealed, Rebecca and Caleb find they have much more in common than just their Amish background. But can this runaway find love with a risk-taker who has lost his faith in God? All it will take is one week in the wilderness to find out . . .… (plus d'informations)

It’s always fun to read a book that is part of a continuing story.


And I really hope we get 7 books out of this series!

Tricia Goyer certainly has a deep well of story lines. Each book of hers that I have read is clearly original. There is no feel of having read the same story in a slightly different form over and over again.

Tricia continues the story that began with The Memory Jar – beautifully in The Kissing Bridge. We see some familiar characters and we meet new ones.

And we get to enjoy the familiar surroundings colored through the views of different people and their experiences.


It’s wonderful!

In fact, I recently read another story that is at least loosely attached to this series and it was equally wonderful.

Tricia Goyer wrote a novella for An Amish Garden called Seeds of Love. It was about the Amish of West Kootenai, Montana as well.

The Kissing Bridge is the third book in this series and it is just as enjoyable a read as the first two.

If you enjoyed The Memory Jar and The Promise Box, you will enjoy The Kissing Bridge!

And I am certain that, if you are a fan of Tricia Goyer’s writing, you will love this book!

Disclaimer: I received this book free in exchange for an honest review. ( )

This is a great story idea but I found the book a bit boring in places.

Rebecca's sister died during childbirth and from that moment on, Rebecca (a member of an Amish community) vowed to become a nurse. On her way to college she stops in Montana in order to visit a friend who is now Englisch. It is in this close knit Amish/Englisch community that she meets Caleb. The baptized Amish in this book do a lot that most Amish consider worldly. That takes some getting used to. ( )

A story of faith. Rebecca lost a sister and felt called to leave Amish community to pursue nursing. She felt a call to help others so they would not have to die like her sister while she stood by helpless.
She stops in Montana to see a friend who had left the Amish community. There Amish and English lived together in a community.
She meets Caleb, a risk taker. He wants an Amish wife but one with spunk.
Both Rebecca and Caleb find faith in God.
This book was what I needed right now as I struggle with God's plans at this point in my life.
Rebekah and Caleb marry and remain Amish in an Amish/Mennonite church where they embraced Rebekah being a nurse.
Rebekah got the three things she desired. To be a nurse, to marry a good man and to be part of an Amish Church. ( )

I believe God gives us dreams. Not the ones that come when we are sleeping, but those that we have talents for. Rebecca's was nursing, though she didn't have those until she faced a sorrow in her life. The questions she grappled with, are honest questions we all have to face. Are the dreams we have God given dreams or are they what we want. And though her story is told against the backdrop of an Amish childhood, the fears her family faced are not only because of that lifestyle.
Parents from all types of walks of life want only the best for their children, and often feel that the life they themselves live is the only life to have. Never having been in this situation myself, I can not begin to suppose what the underlying thoughts or fears are.
Tricia handles the story with grace and empathy, and I was quickly immersed in Rebecca's story, and feel I know her. As well, I hope to visit the Montana side of the Kukanusa Lake sometime.

Thank you to the author, Tricia Goyer and the BookLook Bloggers Team at Zondervan.Harper Collins for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review. A positive critique was not required. The opinions are my own. ( )
