Review of “The Keeper” by Jennifer Spredemann


PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION

An independent Amish woman. A determined Amish man. And a love that knows no bounds.

Susan Miller is discontent with her Amish life, and considers doing something drastic—stepping away from the only life she’s ever known. Then, Joshua Beachy shows up to help work on their farm, creating confusion in her heart and even more disruption to her already-stressed environment. Susan finds it hard to ignore the handsome newcomer, especially when they discover an effortless friendship. Should she rethink her choices and consider a relationship with Joshua?

When Joshua Beachy’s family moves to a new Amish district in Indiana, he doesn’t expect to meet beautiful Susan Miller. He’s never known a feisty Amish woman like her. While he admits that he finds Susan alarmingly attractive, he knows the best course of action is to steer clear of a courtship with her. However, that seems impossible to do given the magnetic pull he feels when she’s near. But when she disappears after learning of his secret, he feels responsible for her departure.

Compelled to find her and ensure no harm will befall her, Joshua determines to search the nearby town until she’s found. But how can he keep her safe in the Englisch world and maintain his good standing in the Amish community? Furthermore, how can he convince her that he has truly fallen in love with her?

An Amish romance about friendship, family, faith, and love that you won’t be able to put down!


My Review:
This is an endearing story that focuses on two Amish young adults who are still trying to decide their path in life.  Joshua’s life is turned upside down when his family unexpectedly moves to Indiana and he feels that he must go with them.  Susan is discontent in her Amish life, and she wants to explore more about the English world before she makes a commitment to remain in their Amish community.  When they first meet, things do not always go well between Susan and Joshua.  But just as their relationship grows into something more than friendship, an unexpected turn of events separates them.  Both have lessons to learn about life and love, and they also need to see the importance of having a close relationship with God, who is the ultimate Keeper of their lives.


I enjoyed getting to know these two characters.  As always with this author’s books, I appreciate the spiritual emphasis on having a personal relationship with Christ as Savior.  She always makes sure that her Amish characters have a true spiritual foundation. 


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