__Lancaster County has always been her home--but where does her heart belong?__  
  
One moment Carrie Weaver was looking forward to running away with Lancaster Barnstormers pitcher Solomon Riehl--plans that included leaving the Amish community where they grew up. The next moment she was staring into a future as broken as her heart. Now, Carrie is faced with a choice. But will this opportunity be all she hoped? Or will this decision, this moment in time, change her life forever?  
  
A tender story of love, forgiveness, and looking below the surface, The Choice uncovers the sweet simplicity of the Amish world--and shows that it's never too late to find your way back to God.  
  
  
"Fisher's writing brings that Amish sense of peace into your own world. The Choice brings an entirely new perspective to the Amish way of life. You will love it!"--Kristin Billerbeck, author of What a Girl Wants

I guarantee your heart will be touched."--Ginger Kolbaba, founding editor of Kyria.com, former editor of Today's Christian Woman, and author of Desperate Pastors' Wives

I happen to love the film Witnesswith Harrison Ford which is about an ?English? man living in an Amish community ? and this book is written on a similar theme, but without the grisly murder. It is essentially a love story with sad bits and surprises, and I liked the characters involved and the story moved along at a good pace. It appealed to me because it had several sub-plots interweaving through the main story of how a young Amish girl copes with the death of her father and enters a marriage that was not what she had expected. There are ?English? characters who help the story along by showing the conflict between community living and a materialistic life-style; and also we see the theme of how the Amish can live for their community alone without fully understanding the Christian Faith that underpins it, as several of the young people struggle to determine whether they will stay with the Amish or leave the stable family life that they have had, to experience life with the English. The simplicity of the Amish life is described well and the rhythm of life throughout each year is very evident in the farming community ? the author manages to make it a very appealing lifestyle. I read the book in two sittings ? I enjoyed the twists and turns and was satisfied with the ending, which although I am a hopeless romantic, wasn?t over mushy and left enough loose ends to leave you thinking - ?I wonder what happens afterwards...?

I happen to love the film Witnesswith Harrison Ford which is about an ‘English’ man living in an Amish community – and this book is written on a similar theme, but without the grisly murder. It is essentially a love story with sad bits and surprises, and I liked the characters involved and the story moved along at a good pace. It appealed to me because it had several sub-plots interweaving through the main story of how a young Amish girl copes with the death of her father and enters a marriage that was not what she had expected. There are ‘English’ characters who help the story along by showing the conflict between community living and a materialistic life-style; and also we see the theme of how the Amish can live for their community alone without fully understanding the Christian Faith that underpins it, as several of the young people struggle to determine whether they will stay with the Amish or leave the stable family life that they have had, to experience life with the English.   
The simplicity of the Amish life is described well and the rhythm of life throughout each year is very evident in the farming community – the author manages to make it a very appealing lifestyle. I read the book in two sittings – I enjoyed the twists and turns and was satisfied with the ending, which although I am a hopeless romantic, wasn’t over mushy and left enough loose ends to leave you thinking - ‘I wonder what happens afterwards...”
