My Review

Green Pastures is a very exciting Amish story. The plot unfolds with Tabitha returning to Shepherd's Hill to the family farm. Divorced from an Englisher, she hopes to fit back into the Amish community while working as a licensed Veterinarian in Sheperd's Hill Amish country.

The novel has well-developed characters with many layers. The characters deal with everyday issues but in the Amish way. The descriptions of Amish life were somewhat different because of Tabitha's occupation, but each order had its own rules to follow. I was drawn to Tabitha's courage and determination to fit in. The whole family dealt with heartbreak, forgiveness, and second chances.

There were biblical references, which gave the story more substance but did create some tension. I enjoyed the budding romance. Overall, a very enjoyable story. I hated to see it end.

I received a complimentary ARC from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.
