Barbara Cameron
***** if you like Christian Romance
*** if you are not a fan of Romance
Barbara Cameron is the author of more than 24 books. She is a Christian author and has won several awards for her books and has sold 3 films to HBO and Cinemax. Several of her books are about the Amish. You can find her website HERE!!
Amazon offers free books for Kindle for a limited amount of time. I check their free list often and pick books I think I might enjoy. That's where I picked up this book. It's now $9.72 on Kindle. If you are a fan of Amish fiction, I think Cameron does a good job of letting you see the Amish world without romanticizing it. She joins the English world with the Amish world in "A Time to Love." I've never felt it would be this easy to join the Amish lifestyle, but with Cameron's story, it is more believable because Jenny had been exposed to the Amish as a young girl and a teenager.
The story is more about the everyday lives of the Amish rather than the "spiritual" aspect of their lives. It is well written and adds more to the story than your usual Christian romance.
Cameron's book is about a war correspondent, Jennie King who becomes a temporary guest in her grandmother’s Amish community while she recuperates from the devastating injuries sustained in a car bomb attack. But when she meets Matthew Bontrager, the man she had a crush on as a teenager, she wonders if God has a new plan for her. Jennie has emotional and physical scars and though she feels she has come home, she's not sure she can bridge the difference between her English world and his Amish world.
It's easy to read, and moves fast. If you enjoy books about the Amish, I recommend this one.
