I’ve recently had the opportunity to read a book that I’ve really enjoyed. Plain Paradise is part of an Amish book series by Beth Wiseman. The heroine in the story finds out that she’s been adopted by her Amish family after an English woman she doesn’t know comes knocking on their door. Her birth mother has only a short time to live, so she wants to know the daughter she’d given away when she was two weeks old. Meanwhile, the Amish folks who’d raised this young lady struggle with fear that the English woman will take away their daughter.
The entire story kept me wondering how the end would turn out. It was a great story, drew me to tears a few times. The characters seemed very real. I hope to find the rest of Beth Wiseman’s books–I’m hooked now!

Josephine will discover more than she bargained for as her world collides with the Plain people of Lancaster County.
Josephine Dronberger was a scared teenager when she left her baby in the care of an Old Order Amish couple. But seventeen years have passed and Josie longs to reconnect with her daughter.
Linda, as the couple named the child, is promised to Stephen Ebersol, the bishop’s grandson. They plan to marry in the fall. When her birth mother comes to Paradise, Linda is drawn to a world she’s never known. Will the direction she’s been heading since birth be suddenly derailed, and who will stand by her convictions–mother or daughter?
