New from bestselling authors Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner, The Amish Groom (Book 1 in The Men of Lancaster County series) explores the men of an Amish community in Lancaster County, how their Amish beliefs play out in their unique roles, and the women who change their lives.

Born to an ex-Amish mother and an Englisch father, 23-year-old Tyler Anderson was raised as a military kid until the age of 6, when his mom passed away. His dad, shipping off to yet another overseas post, placed Tyler in the care of his Amish grandparents, an arrangement that was supposed to be temporary. It lasted a lifetime.

Rachel Hoeck is the young woman waiting for Tyler's proposal. She senses that though he loves her and wishes to make a commitment to her and his Amish beliefs, part of him still wonders whether an Amish lifestyle is truly for him.

When an opportunity to connect with his father unexpectedly arises, a visit to California causes Tyler to question everything, including a future with Rachel. Will the new girl in his life, Lark, cause him to remain in the Englisch world? Or will he choose to be an Amish groom after all?

A poignant novel of hoping for romance and searching for identity, set in a beloved Amish community.

Tyler was born “English,” of a woman who left the Amish world and married an “English” man. But when she dies, her military husband gives the keeping of his six-year-old son to the Amish grandparents. Though they stay in touch, Tyler never again lives with his father, and is raised in the Amish faith. Now, he must decide which world he is meant to live in. Not yet baptized into the Amish faith, he must soon make a decision that will affect not only him, but his father, his half- brother, his grandparents, and the Amish woman who loves him. With likable characters and an interesting storyline, this tale might be predictable but nevertheless, it is entertaining. ( )
