Review of “The Drifter” by Jennifer Spredemann

Publisher Description

Josiah Beachy is a dead man. At least, that’s what most of the people in his former Amish community have believed for the last eighteen years. He has made a lot of mistakes in his life, but his number one regret is leaving his young daughter behind. After he receives a letter from Indiana, he decides it’s time to begin righting some of the wrongs in his life, including reconciling with his daughter. But will she ever forgive him for abandoning her? 

Widow Elnora Schwartz has no intentions of remarrying after losing the love of her life. But when Josiah Beachy sweeps into town with a buggy-load of regret, her heart goes out to him. But would it be wise to trust her heart to a man who has lived most of his life as defector to the Amish life she cherishes? 

Can faith…and love…bond them together?

My Review:

This book is a continuation of the “Amish Country Brides” series by author Jennifer Spredemann.  If you haven’t read the other books in this series, you can still enjoy this one on its own; but I believe once you read this story you’ll want to go back and read the whole series.  

If you have read the series, you’ll be interested to read Bailey Miller’s story.  We first met Bailey as a very young girl when her mother, Kayla, married Silas Miller.  Now she’s a teenager being courted by her first beau.  Things seem to be going in a wonderful direction for Bailey.   However, a long-hidden secret comes to light, and Bailey finds her life changed forever.  The highlight of this book for me was the character of Bailey.  The author portrays her as a normal seventeen year old:  A mixture of wisdom and immaturity; caring and courageous; suffering heartbreak, yet still having an interest in all that’s happening around her. I’m glad that in the next book of the series we have an opportunity to read more of Bailey’s story.

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