Matched and Married Kathleen Fuller

 

 Description:

Neither Margaret nor Owen has any interest in getting married. But in the small Amish town of Birch Creek, where marriage is on everyone’s mind, their plans don’t stand a chance.

Margaret Yoder can’t seem to catch a break. Even though she’s dedicated to her Amish faith, her wild rumspringa won’t stay in the past, and her mother keeps pressuring her to get married. To placate her mother and get away from former “friends”, she decides to return to Birch Creek to visit family—and pretend to find a husband.

Like Margaret, Owen Bontrager isn’t looking for a spouse, something that’s hard to avoid in Birch Creek, where an ad for brides in the local paper has brought a swarm of single women to the thriving town. When he meets Margaret in an unexpected way, they discover they have more in common than they ever expected. In some ways, they are a perfect match.

Margaret struggles to keep her goal of avoiding romance in order to focus on being a faithful member of the Amish church, and it doesn’t help that she finds Owen intriguing. Knowing they don’t have a future together; she returns home and gives in to her mother’s insistence that she get married.

Can Margaret betray her feelings for Owen and become a dutiful daughter and wife to the man of her mother’s choosing? Or will Owen find a way to free Margaret of her past by giving her the future they both are surprised to find they desire?

My Review:

At first I had a hard time getting into this book however that didn't last long. I feel like this books is for  all the ages it teaches some much of what matters in life, forgiveness and finding healing even when Life just doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. I liked Owen while he was a workaholic and is learning to take life at a slower pace he still seems to be wise beyond his years and yet still torn between young adult and being grown up. I feel like Margaret had a lot of growing up to do from beginning to the end of the book but I feel that the way the author told the story and allowed Margaret's life choices to play just made sense overall. This book is a good clean read and can be enjoyed by all. I am not sure if there is more to come but it would be interesting to see what does happen next based on the end of the book.
