Hannah Yoder loves her quiet life on the banks of the Conestoga Creek. In 1842, this corner of Lancaster County is settled and peaceful--yet problems lurk beneath the placid façade. Hannah's father worries about the spread of liberal ideas from their Mennonite and Brethren neighbors. And Hannah blames herself for a tragedy that struck their home nine years ago. She strives to be the one person who can bind the threads of her family together in spite of her mother's ongoing depression and her sister's rejection of their family. But her world is threatening to unravel.
When two young men seek her hand in marriage--one offering the home she craves and the other promising the adventure of following God's call west--Hannah must make a choice. Faithfully perform her duties to her family? Or defy her father and abandon her community?
Hannah's Choice by Jan Drexler was a really engaging read! I have to say I normally hate love triangles because in most of the books I've read that have them there's always a clear couple and the other person who's just there to make thing complicated. In Hannah Choice I honestly couldn't tell who would be the couple in the end. I mean, I had my favorite choice but I had no idea which one the authors choice was. Hannah's Choice is definitely a book you should pick up. Great characters that pull you in and a story line that's not as predictable as you might think.
5 out of 5. A lovely Afternoon Snack.
I received a copy of this book from Revell in exchange for my honest review.
