Description (Publisher Website)
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.

About the Author (Publishers Website)
Suzanne Woods Fisher's interest in the Anabaptist cultures can be directly traced to her grandfather, W. D. Benedict, who was raised in the Dunkard Brethren Church in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Benedict eventually became publisher of Christianity Today magazine. Suzanne's work has appeared in many magazines. She has contributed to several nonfiction books and is the author of Amish Peace and the novel The Choice.
My Review
I really enjoyed this book. I thought that the changes that Carrie went through in the book were very real and happen to people everyday. It was interesting to read how she handles them and moves forward with her life and learns from all of the changes. I found the crises that she goes through very moving and heartfelt. I'd really recommend this book.
This is the first book in the Lancaster County Secrets series, and judging by this book I'll be reading the rest in the series.
