The romance plot probably took up....20% of the book. The female main character's consciousness that she's overweight, what she did about it, and how she felt about it, took up another 20% of the book. Description of the Amish way of life took up another 20%. And the remaining 40% was about how she blossomed into her gifts -- singing (the author really makes it sound like she was so good she could have gone professional,) and taking care of the elderly. At age 16, she took on the charge of caregiver for her elderly grandparents and kept at it, did a very good job of it, until the grandfather passed away a year later. I am so impressed at her level of maturity and capability. Teenagers probably have potential to be much more mature than what our social norms tell us to expect.

Becky Esh has lots of spunk. Never mind that she's Amish, she regularly confronts authority figures. Her beautiful singing touches those who hear her so deeply that even men cry. In Becky Meets Her Match, Linda Byler crafts an unforgettable character who is quick-witted, good-humored, and thrives on independence--but inwardly struggles with her own self-consciousness. Overweight at sixteen, Becky is frustrated by her inability to lose weight and anxious about finding love. An opportunity arrives to leave her Wisconsin home and care for her ailing grandparents in Pennsylvania. Becky is happy for a change of pace and to avoid the drama that is sure to unfold as her slender, good-looking friends begin courting boys. Maybe her new responsibility will help distract her from her size and her own yearning for a date. But at the Christmas Eve party for the Amish young people, Becky unexpectedly gets the perfect Christmas gift. Shocked, she loses her confidence and leaves the party on foot, terrifying everyone when they realize she's missing.
