Review of “His Pretend Amish Bride” by Rachel J. Good

In a small Amish town like picturesque Lancaster, Pennsylvania, one solution to an indiscretion is to make a good marriage. Or perhaps, fake a respectable engagement . . .

Priscilla Ebersol has a fulfilling life teaching special needs children—until her boyfriend’s humiliating betrayal ruins her reputation and threatens her job. Ostracized for something she didn’t do, Priscilla throws herself into a project on the benefits of camel’s milk for autism. Her research leads her to a fledgling local camel farm, where she discovers far more than she bargained for . . .

When a pushy Englisch company shows interest in shy, handsome Gabriel Kauffman’s camel farm, he struggles to get out of a sticky negotiation. Lovely, well-spoken Priscilla appears at the perfect moment, and defends Gabe’s business so well that she is mistaken for his wife. It’s a ruse the two quietly continue, all the while secretly wishing it could be true. But though their bond deepens, Priscilla’s heart is still wounded, and Gabe battles with a troubling secret. And when a misunderstanding comes between them, it will take faith, honesty, and trust in the future to overcome the past—and allow their partnership to blossom into something more . . .

My Review:

Rachel Good is a wonderful Amish author, and I very much enjoyed reading this book.  I loved the character of Priscilla, and thought her patience through a trying time was amazing.  She showed much more grace than I would have in such an unfair situation.  She had to put her trust in God and the support she received from her dad.  There’s some lessons for all of us in this book about being a supportive friend; rejecting gossip; and trusting God to handle a difficult situation in His timing.  Gabe is also facing a difficult situation, and it takes Priscilla’s faith and trust to help him find the answers that he’s seeking.

This book has a strong theme of faith, hope, and love. It’s a beautiful story of never relinquishing trust in God during the difficult times.  If you’ve never read one of Rachel Good’s books, take a look at this one.  I know you’ll enjoy it!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
