The Bridesmaid – Book Review

Joanna Kurtz has made several trips to the altar, but never as a bride. The young Amishwoman is a closet writer whose stories aren’t her only secret.

Eben Troyer hopes to make Joanna his bride–if he can ever leave his parents’ farm in Shipshewana, Indiana. Yet Eben’s hopes to build a life with Joanna hinge on his brother’s return from the English world….

Joanna’s sister tells her, “Three times a bridesmaid, never a bride” after Joanna has been asked to be a bridesmaid. For the third time. Joanna chooses to ignore the saying and be a bridesmaid.

Unfortunately for Joanna, she has not met any suitable men in her church district. She thinks she is destined to be an old maid.

While on a family trip, she meets and falls in love with an Amish man from another state. The correspond by letter, and even talk on the phone once a week.  The book follows their courtship through church problems, family difficulties, and sickness.

The Bridesmaid is another great book by Beverly Lewis. If your already a fan, you’ll love this new book. If your new to Amish fiction, The Bridesmaid is the perfect book to start with.
