Description
In this story of forbidden love, Joseph finds himself pressed between his unfolding romance with a young Indian woman and the tug of his heritage. His eyes newly opened to the wrongs committed by the white settlers, Joseph determines never to go back to his Amish community.
But the encroaching British army soon forces the Indians to give up their captives under threat of death. Based on actual events, Joseph’s Dilemma traces the wrenching dilemma of a young man caught between his Amish past, his love for a woman, and an unknown future.
Continues the story started in Jacob’s Choice, Book 1 of the Return to Northkill trilogy.
Advance Praise
“Joseph’s Dilemma is a rich and authentic recounting of the perils faced by the Lenape nation and white settlers. Sensitive to the plight of both Native Americans and immigrants, this powerful narrative unfolds through the eyes of an Amish captive struggling to maintain his faith and humanity amid overwhelming loss. A must read.”—Emma Miller, author of A Match for Addie and Plain Killing
“Joseph’s Dilemma is an intriguing exploration of a little-known true story of the French and Indian War. The author’s careful use of historical details gives the reader an interesting perspective, seeing events through the eyes of a young Amish teen captured by the Delaware Indians who becomes an adopted son.”—Marta Perry, author of Keepers of the Promise series

Maureen T, Reviewer
A very different type of Amish story, we begin at the beginning of Amish settlements in the US. At the beginning there was danger all over and this family found it in the form of Indians. Very sad start to the story, but the book does not dwell here; we are focused on the Indians and become absorbed in their problems and culture.
A teen when he is captured, Joseph watched as part of his family was murdered and scalped, unthinkable. Now he seems to accept his fate and lives like an Indian, and becomes a Warrior, a bit like the Stockholm syndrome? While reading this book I kept hoping he would be rescued, and yet here is a mother looking to replace a lost son, and is gifted with another. The ending was abrupt, and as with the first book you are left hanging waiting for the next. Learn about Indian life, and a young man with his faith based on the bible. Then I found myself rooting for his new mother and family. Can’t wait to read the next book.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Herald Press, and was not required to give a positive review.
