An Amish Buggy Ride Giveaway!

by Chautona Havig · 4 Comments

Amish fiction isn't always my favorite, but I found an interesting story that I really enjoyed in Sarah Price's An Amish Buggy Ride. via @chautonahavig

An Amish Buggy Ride Review

Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Additionally, I requested a review copy of this book and chose to share my opinions on it.

I just finished An Amish Buggy Ride by Sarah Price, and I am excited to share it with you.  Sarah has written an engaging story with a deeper meaning.

Here’s my review:

I didn’t really know what to expect when I started this book. Amish fiction can often feel repetitive, but Sarah’s novel delves deep into the flaws we all face in life–bad choices, not accepting responsibility for those choices, and wrongly accepting responsibility for others’ choices.

Additionally, she ALSO shows that we aren’t lone sheep floundering alone on a hillside somewhere. We do have others to help us–to encourage us to do the right thing when our own flaws blind us to what the right thing is.

But aside from the lessons hidden within a gentle, tender story, the authenticity with which Sarah writes adds an extra layer to the novel. She added just enough authentic Pennsylvania Dutch to the book to keep it feeling like you ARE in Lancaster County without burdening the pages with unfamiliar words.

One of the things I loved most was the careful description.

From nature, to food, to clothing, to the details of everyday life, Sarah shares exactly enough detail to place you there and make you feel like you can see it without burdening you with a laundry list of things to note.

If you want a spiritually uplifting and thought-provoking story with an authentic peek into the diverse world of the Amish (they aren’t the cookie cutter people the “English” seem to think), An Amish Buggy Ride might just be the book you’re looking for. Add to it a gentle romance, and you have a delightful way to spend a nippy fall afternoon. 🙂

I received this book free with no expectations upon me, but I chose to review it after reading and enjoying it.

    I’d love to be entered in this contest. I’ve been reading Sarah’s books for quite some time, and she’s good! I’m happy for her to have become a true novelist with her latest releases! Kudos!

    I only discovered Sarah’s awesome writings about a year ago . With that being said, it is difficult to find and purchase her books. I still prefer to hold my book in my hands while reading and no one locally carries her work, : ( therefor I have to drive 40 miles to the nearest Barnes and Nobles and special order it… So to win this new release would be awesome!!!!!

    I don’t believe I’ve read anything by Sarah Price! But I do love “Amish” stories!

I love a great series, and this new one by Elizabeth Goddard sounds awesome!

When the Silence Breaks by Elizabeth Goddard

A deathbed confession. A decades-old secret. A mountain that holds the answers–and danger closing in. When intelligence analyst Sarah Ellison learns of her grandfather’s deathbed confession connected to her brother’s murder, she’s determined to protect her remaining family. After further investigation, she discovers the disclosed information points to a decades-old government secret buried deep in the Cascade Mountains. With this knowledge, she looks for a guide who knows the terrain like the back of their hand. After his father’s death in a tragic mountain accident, former Navy SEAL Ryder Goodwin no longer guides for the family business. At first, Ryder refuses to help Sarah, but he sees the trouble chasing her and can’t stand by while someone brings danger to his small-town mountain community. Ryder and Sarah gear up to climb the mountain in a race against time and a looming storm. When the danger escalates, their search for answers shifts to a survival mission. Their only chance to make it through involves trusting each other and confronting the truth no one wants them to find. This gripping romantic-suspense thriller set in the Pacific Northwest from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard is a series opener that will sweep you away in a rush of adrenaline.
