Gathering the Threads

I just loved the character of Ariana, she had a lot to overcome with her two families. She was raised Amish but found out her biological family is English. Also really like Quill, Ariana's good friend. Loved what he does. A lot of other characters too. There is forgiveness to come. This is the 3rd in the series,I haven't read the first two yet but this book did give a summary but will definitely be reading the first two books. A very interesting book, enjoyed it very much. I received an advanced copy of the book thru net gallery.

The third book in Cindy Woodsmall’s The Amish of Summer Grove series, “Gathering the Threads” continues the story of Skylar and Ariana as they come to terms with the fact that they were switched at birth and brought up in totally different ways. Ariana comes back to her Amish family, but with different ideas that cause discord with her Amish parents and siblings. She is trying to determine just who she is after knowing she comes from Englisher parents and brought up in an Amish home with their plain and strict ways. The bishop of her community is determined to make her knuckle under and conform to the way Amish women are treated. She is resisting and the subsequent dramas that follow make up the story.

I was in total agreement with Ariana throughout the book because I know that my stubbornness and independence would totally rebel at the condescending way women are treated as subjects, not individuals. I thought this book gave much to think about and I was glad that I read it.

I received a Kindle copy of this book from NetGalley.com, but was under no obligation to post a review.
