Nancy Mehl returns us to Harmony, Kansas for this third book
in her Harmony Mennonite Series. Gracie Temple has come back
to her parents' hometown, found true love, and is about to
marry Sam Goodrich. She encouraged Hannah Mueller to explore
her gift for painting and took her to Wichita for a summer
art class. Hannah fell in love with city life, such a
contrast to Harmony, a Mennonite community that relishes a
simple way of life. She does not want to go back to her
parents and her plain clothes.
Upon her return, Hannah becomes a bit rebellious toward her
parents. Emily and Abel Mueller blame Gracie for Hannah's
outbursts and change in behavior. When Hannah does not
return home one evening, her parents immediately seek out
Gracie. After Hannah has been gone for the whole night, the
sheriff is called in and an investigation begins. Sheriff
Taylor believes Hannah is just a run-away, but Gracie feels
she has met a very different fate.
As Gracie's parents and grandfather arrive for her wedding,
many preparations must be tended to quickly. Gracie keeps
mulling over why Hannah is missing and begins to meddle in
the sheriff's business. Several people get real upset with
her and keep telling her to mind her own business and just
plan her wedding. But Gracie is stubborn and continues to
investigate on her own. Is she just asking for trouble?
Before Gracie's wedding day, her grandfather, suffering from
Alzheimer's, slips into eternity. Mehl lovingly relates some
compassionate ways to deal with Alzheimer's patients in this
beautiful story. Will her grandfather's passing delay her
marriage? Will Gracie's obsession with finding Hannah create
hard feelings between her and Sam?
SIMPLE CHOICES is an inspirational story regarding several
different relationships. Mehl has masterfully woven together
remembrances of the past, choices that were made, and ways
to move forward in forgiveness. It's a story of friendships:
new ones, old ones, and reunited ones. Your spirits will be
lifted after reading this delightful story depicting the
simple Mennonite life and their strong faith in God. There's
a little suspense, a little romance, and lots of
faith-building truths in store for you in this one. Don't
miss it!
