| About The Proposal at Siesta Key: A young Amish woman, yearning for freedom, crosses paths with a handsome Mennonite celebrity in a deeply moving tale of friendship and self-discovery---the second installment in the unforgettable New York Times bestselling author's new Amish Brides of Pinecraft series. Penny Troyer rarely disobeys her parents. In the years since her sister's tragic death, they've wanted nothing more than to keep her safe...even if it means never leaving the house. But tonight, she's bending the rules because Michael Knoxx, the most famous member of The Knoxx Family Singers, a traveling Mennonite Evangelical family ---is scheduled to speak. Penny has heard of Michael---how he lost part of his leg in a terrible accident and uses the experience to inspire others---and knows she must meet him. So, for the first time ever, Penny stands up to her parents and goes out on her own. Though he speaks about living life to the fullest, Michael knows he needs to take his own advice. Life on the road is grueling and Michael wants to slow down, to rest...to perhaps meet someone who sees him as a man, not just a celebrity. So when a twist of fate allows him the chance to stay a little longer in Pinecraft, Michael knows God is showing him a new path, especially when he discovers how much he and Penny Troyer have in common. But new friendships can't stop time. Soon, Michael's time in Pinecraft will be over and he'll be back on the road. Her time with Michael has brought her happiness, but will she be able to follow her heart? Or will she be faced with the one thing she's sure she'll never have the courage to do? My thoughts: This is the second book in the Amish Brides of Pinecraft series and I am hooked. I am enjoying getting to know the characters in each story, but especially the main character, Beverly. Will she end up with Eric and will he become a mennonite or will she become English? In this book, Penny and Michael both are both affected by circumstances that keep them from living their lives to the fullest. It was good to see that each one was considerate of their family without being disrespectful while trying to find their own path in life. I also enjoyed the idea that Siesta Key was a special place for Penny and Michael and you could see that that place would always hold a special place in thier hearts. I found this to be a nice romantic story. Not only do I want to continue to read each book in this series but it also makes me want to visit Pinecraft and eat coconut cream pie!
