I feel cheated on this book. Not by the author but by the publisher. The story ends on page 221. That last 66 pages are recipes, readers guides and synopses of the other 2 books in this series. If the author had a shorter story to tell, it should have just been a shorter book and not had so much extra stuff just to fill the required pages. I loved the book, but this excess stuff makes me feel cheated on the price.
This is a story about Abram and Rachel Ann. It is a story of finding out who you are and what you want and learning to be open, honest and up front especially with the one you love.It us also about confidence in yourself and not always feeling responsible and guilty when something goes wrong.A marvelous book and besides the obvious romance, there is some heartbreak and some lessons. I definitely recommend this book.
I really liked Rachel Ann and Abram's story. Abram is funny (love a hero with a good sense of humor) and nice. Rachel Ann is sweet--she's struggling with her feelings for Abram, and her desire to learn more about the Englisch, and Michael, the boy who appears to like her. I liked the scene when Sam and Abram get into a snowball fight and throw snowballs at Saul. I loved some of the secondaries in this book like Abram's mother, Lovina, and Rachel Ann's friends and relatives. I haven't read the other books in this series but I'm anxious to read them. I liked the recipes at the end.
Disappointing. It was to predictable and the story line was very simply developed. The characters didn't have the depth that I have come to expect with Amish novels. Maybe it was just me, but the book didn't engage me in any particular way.Rachel Ann is a young Amish woman who is in her running around stage of life, although it seems as though she is in it a bit later in life than most. She is dating a young English man, Michael. They have a simple relationship as the book starts, he has a car, she has a desire to learn about the English and thus a relationship is born. Unfortunately for Rachel Ann's family and for Michael there is an accident. While he is trying to impress her with his cars speed he is going to fast to stop when Rachel Ann's brother, Sam, runs out into the path of the car. Sam is injured and in a Coma for a good bit of time.Rachel Ann has a crisis of faith in that she believes the accident is her fault and that her parents are angry with her. She takes on a second job to help the family financially and basically runs herself into the ground physically and emotionally.All the while the next door neighbor, Abram, is watching all this happen. He is in love with Rachel Ann but it doesn't appear that she will reciprocate. They were childhood friends and Abram wants more but she doesn't appear to want more.The majority of the story is their relationship and the way it needs to develop if there is going to be anything more to their lives.Simple story, simple ending (a bit to soon for more likes)If you are a Barbara Cameron fan you will most likely enjoy the book as you have learned her style. For me it just fell short.
Abram Lapp and Rachel Ann Miller have grown up together and been friends for years. Unbeknownst to Rachel Ann, Abram would like to court her, but is holding back because Rachel Ann is in Rumschpringe and dating an Englische boy. But when a near tragedy strikes, Rachel Ann begins to reconsider her fascination with the Englische way of life. Abram hopes this will give him a chance to court Rachel Ann, but there are other obstacles in his way - some of which may be insurmountable.“One True Path” is the nicely done third book in Barbara Cameron's Amish Roads series. I love Amish romance novels and this is a particularly good one. Rachel Ann's attraction to Englischer Michael was by far the weakest point of the book (making Rachel Ann seem naïve at times) and seems almost to exist merely to set up a major plot device in the book. However, the romance between Rachel Ann and Abram more than made up for this - the path to true love is never straight and Cameron throws in some very believable obstacles in their path. Besides Rachel Ann and Abram, the other characters in the book are nicely done especially Rachel Ann's adorable little brother Sam. The Stitches in Time shop is delightful and I love the friendship between the women working there. Cameron is a gifted writer who makes her words come alive on the page - I could feel Rachel Ann’s worries, could smell the cookies she was baking, could picture the gingerbread toys she made. All of this leads up to a delightful book and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.“One True Path” is a nicely done Amish romance.
This is the second book I've read by Barbara Cameron, the first being "Crossroads." While I thoroughly enjoyed Crossroads, I loved One True Path. Even though it had more gripping drama, the romance was still pure and clean.I did have a bit of trouble because Barbara Cameron uses Amish words throughout the book. I should've looked in the glossary at the end of the book, where she includes the definitions to all the unfamiliar words. Cameron even includes a few Amish recipes (in the section before the glossary). You will find Gingerbread Cookies, Roasht (Chicken Filling), Red Velvet Whoopie Pies, Snickerdoodles, and Pumpkin Bread. All recipes are easy to follow and (even more important) delicious.
