His best friend has abandoned his fiance, Bethany, for a life amongst the Englisch.  He is bound and determined to remain in his community and to prove he is a good Amish man, b this proves to be difficult.

In this beautifully presented story, readers are placed into a world that where life is lived without the comfort of many modern conveniences.  The outside world, in many cases, only offers a distraction. Isaiah and Bethany remain committed to the lifestyle they were raised with.  Even though they consider themselves to be friends, it becomes obvious there is a romantic connection.  But, the timing is wrong and there are serious complications.  Delicate situations have to be resolved and in their life of rules and traditions, suitable options are few.  Can these two young people overcome the obstacles?

THE PREACHER'S SON by Patricia Johns is a touching and moving story.  Packed with emotion and heart, it is well worth reading.  Highly recommended.
