An Excellent Read
I read the first book in the series (Paradise Valley, Book I of The Daughters of Caleb Bender), so I was very happy to be able to review the second book. The intriguing thing about this series is that it is inspired by actual events! In fact, it was part of the author's family that went to Mexico to live due to persecution of the Amish in the United States during the 1920s.
I couldn't put this book down! The story is compelling when the Bender family experiences disease, bandit attacks and death. The fifth daughter, Miriam, wonders if she will be able to find an Amish husband in Mexico, but then several other families join them. Will she fall in love with the son of one of those families? I don't want to give the story away, but I do recommend it to you.
I received this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for writing a review and posting it on line.
