The Amish Girl Who Never Belonged By Samantha Price



After Emma's parents died, her disagreeable grandmother often sent her to stay with the Eshes, a nearby Amish family. When her grandmother died, Emma was sent to live with distant relatives. While Emma was comfortable at their home, she never felt she truly belonged. On her twentieth birthday, things took a turn for the worse when her uncle announced he was finding her a suitable husband. Emma was shocked to learn the man was Thomas Esh, who was said to be a secret drunkard and a gambler. In response, Emma took a job as a housemaid and fled the Amish community. Several months later, a chance encounter with Thomas leaves Emma confused. Was it possible for someone so reckless to change completely? Did Emma make the right decision when she left the Amish all those months ago?

My Review

I so felt for the little girl in The Amish Girl Who Never Belonged. All her life Emma really had no one to love her and to want her around. Such sorrow from childhood to adulthood. Parents dying and being sent to a grandmother who doesn't want you the sent on again when she dies. But to be told by a uncle you are to marry someone you do not love that was the last straw. Emma leaves and takes on a job as a maid. But after months of being gone she runs into someone from the past. What is she to do?  Excellent story. Well written by Samantha Price.
