    An Amish Buggy Ride

    Written by Sarah Price

    About this audiobook

    Quiet and soft-spoken, Kate Zook is the responsible eldest daughter in an Amish family and prides herself on fulfilling her role. Then, one fateful snowy night, she uncharacteristically speaks her mind—and unwittingly plays a part in a horrible accident.

    Wracked by guilt over her role in the tragedy that left her brother David injured, Kate devotes herself to his care, going so far as to take on his chores in the fields. Even so, her brother’s resentment toward her grows, and David torments Kate, making her increasingly isolated life even more difficult.

    Though Kate’s parents have emotionally withdrawn, someone outside the home takes an interest in Kate and notes her clear grief. Samuel, a local boy, has recently returned from a wild rumschpringe—the Amish term for exploring the wider world—and recommitted to his community. Intrigued by Kate’s gentle yet loyal ways, he begins to fall in love with her. But tensions rise as he refuses to put up with David’s rage. As Kate’s heart begins to stir and cry out for happiness, she must rely on faith to find forgiveness or risk losing out on love.

    • 5/5
      Another nice Amish novel, with lessons through out, for us to think about.
    • 5/5
      This book had a well thought out storyline.
    • 4/5
      The brother made me positively furious. Other than that, it was superb!!!
    • 5/5
      A wonderful book! A story of tragedy, new found friendships and mist if forgiveness
    • 4/5
      This was a quick, satisfying read. Kate Zook's life is turned upside down when her brother is involved in a tragic accident and she feels responsible for her "role" in it. She was already a pious and religious girl but in the months afterward she really doubles down on her faith and her guilt. She lets her now crippled brother boss her around and berate her thinking she deserves it. Her home life is somber and strained. When Samuel Esch starts to take an interest in her she is flabbergasted, why would anyone take an interest in her? Samuel gets Kate to start open up and living life - determined to ease some of the burden she carries. Thoughtful, poignant, and romantic - Amish romance at its finest!
    • 3/5
      The story started off very slow. It took a long time for me to like the main character, Kate Zook. I felt she was very self centered by blaming herself for David's accident. She was setting herself up in her eyes, to live a sorriful life, punishing herself for her brother's mistake. The story is great, as long as Kate is with Samuel. Otherwise it was a bit boring.
    • 5/5
      As the oldest daughter in a large Amish family, Kate Zook has always been quiet, reliable, and obedient. But one snowy night she cannot keep quiet about her brother David's behavior, little knowing that her actions would have long-term repercussions. Now David torments her whenever he can and the rest of the family is walking on eggshells. Because she blames herself for what happened Kate is prepared for a life of misery but Samuel Esh is increasingly becoming an important part of her life. Kate doesn't dare hope that Samuel is falling in love with her – she is convinced that if he knew what she had done he would turne his back on her.“An Amish Buggy Ride” is a beautifully written multilayered Amish romance. When I first started reading this, because of the theme and overwhelming sadness at the beginning of the book, I wasn't sure if I would like this book but I was soon hooked on Kate’s story. I don't want to give away too much of what happens in the book but I will say that her story is a poignant one. If it first you don't have much patience for her as a character – she at times seems almost like a martyr - keep reading as author Sarah Price does an excellent job of slowly peeling off the layers of her story until you know exactly why Kate and her family members act the way they do. As for Samuel - if it were possible to be in love with a fictional character I would be in love with him! Again, without giving away too much, he brings lightness into a book that could have been overwhelmingly sad. In the end, while there is some sadness there is also much joy which makes this book such a great read.“An Amish Buggy Ride” is a well-done Amish romance.
