About A Road Unknown: In this first book of the new Amish Roads series Elizabeth is at a crossroad. She's been given the chance to experience life outside of her community, away from the responsibility to care for her eight younger siblings, but Elizabeth Bontrager can't decide which road to take. Goshen has its charms and pressures, but Paradise, Pennsylvania, sounds . . . well, like paradise. And it's also home to her Englisch friend, Paula. Decision made. Elizabeth is Paradise bound.
But will the small town live up to its name? When Elizabeth meets Paula's friend, Bruce, she quickly learns he wants more than a friendship. And the same might be true of Saul Miller, her new boss at the country story that sells Amish products to the Englisch community. As the two compete for her attention, Elizabeth is surprised to realize she misses her family and becomes even more uncertain about where she belongs. She has a choice to make: return home or embrace this new life and possibly a new love?
My thoughts: I was the oldest girl in my family and I felt that my parents put a lot of responsibility on me that made me be able to relate to the burden Elizabeth felt. I think it took an incredible amount of strength for her to get away from the pressure put on her by her parents and grandmother but it took even more strength to be able to go back to her family and apologize for leaving them the way she had. The story is a great way to show how it is important to follow God's plan for your life and not someone else's. I also found a friendship between an Amish and English girl interesting. I can't wait to read more from Barbara Cameron.
