Plain Proposal by Beth Wiseman

Miriam Raber is an eighteen year old amish girl who's lifelong dream is to become an Amish wife and mother, unfortunately for her though she has set her sites on Saul Fisher, an Amish man with a few secrets. The biggest issue he is facing is the fact that his dream is to become a professional chef, something that he could never pursue as an amish man, so he knows he will have to leave the faith if he is going to achieve his dream. How can a relationship between the two ever work, when they have such different ideas about the future? Will Miriam be able to change Saul's mind, or will she follow him right out of her Amish community?

As if this storyline isn't intriguing enough the author throws in the story of Shelby, an eighteen year old English cousin ( her dad left the amish faith) who after the divorce of her parents starts acting out and hanging around the wrong crowd, so her parents decide to send her to stay with the Rabers for the summer. Shelby arrives feeling as if she is being punished, and has lost all faith in God, can staying with the Rabers help her find her way back to God?

This book was filled with several plot twists, just when you thought someone was going to do something they did something totally different. It was so nice to see how Shelby grew throughout the story. I was honestly surprised at the choices that Miriam and Shelby made, although for Shelby if was nice to see her finally find a place where she felt like she belonged.

It is so refreshing to read interesting romance/fiction that is clean, enjoyable and also doesn't mind mentioning God as well. I really enjoyed this well written story and while it is part of the Daughters of the Promise series it can easily be read as a stand alone story. Fans of Amish fiction or romance will love this story!

Plain Proposal by Beth Wiseman is another fantastic Amish read provided to me by Booksneeze to review in exchange for my honest opinion and thetas just what you have gotten!
