A Daughter's ChoiceBy Kelly S. IrvinDescription:Henrietta Miller loves animals—especially her goats. She wants to marry and have children someday, but right now her goal is to have her own business selling snacks made from goat's milk and goat's soaps. Against her the wishes of her father--who's also the bishop—she applies for a job as a veterinary assistant to earn money. Then newcomer Nicholas Byler snatches the job out from under her—or so it seems to Hen. Now Nicholas is treating Hen's beloved animals as if he knows more than her. Hen turns her frustrations toward expanding her business to include wool-producing goats, even while her aunt hatches matchmaking plans—with Nicholas Byler, no less. Book Takeaway:We can find happiness in our lives if we stop looking for it in the world and start looking for it in our faith walk. Why the author wrote this book:To explore the relationship between two headstrong people who are seeking to find themselves within the confines of the Amish faith. Most Christians struggle with following "the rules," at one time or another (or all the time) within our faith. It's a topic I think will resonant with readers. |
