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?

Excellent Book and series

The Keeper is Book 8 of the Amish Country Brides Series by Jennifer Spredemann and I really hope that this series keeps going because with each book I am reminded just how much God’s Love Keeps us grounded and safe within his loving embrace if we truly believe in his love, grace, and the free gift he has so willingly gifted us all.In this book you will meet Susan Miller who wants to leave behind her Amish life since she feels there has to be move than a life of chores, and Amish farm life, although she loves her family she also knews there has to be something a little bit more interesting in the English world.You will also meet Joshua Beachy who’s family just made a move to a new community of Indiana it’s here that he is reunited with other members of his family but also he meets Susan.You will be reminded just how important it is to settle your past before you can move on to the future God as planned for you yet at the same time trust in his free gift of everlasting life no matter how hard the path may be.I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I know you will as well. I really hope we see many more in this series.I was gifted a copy of this book for my honest opinion and I can honestly say I highly recommend not only this book but each book in this series.

An endearing story about two wonderful characters

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.

Amazing book

Susan gets frustrated with her Amish life so she decides to venture out in the “English” world and give it a go. Little does she realize, the life she was used to and comfortable with is nothing like the new life style she is trying to transition into.Throw Josh Beachy into the mix who just moved to the Amish community Susan just left, and you have a book full of excitement-from Susan trying to rent an apartment on limited funds, very little education, befriending a police officer and finally meeting Josh. Meanwhile, Josh is dealing with a current girlfriend that he doesn’t love, trying to keep Susan who he just met, out of trouble in the “English” world and also trying not to fall in love with her at the same time. You will read about faith and friendship and see how it plays a special part in each of the characters Iives. A good lesson for Susan to learn is that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Sometimes we just have to be content with what we have. I found the book hard to put down and enjoyed it very much.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review and opinion.
