Joseph King is a 23-year-old Amish man. His
job is exhausting mentally, physically, and spiritually. He is driven to keep his
21-year-old brother
Edward safe and away from the world's influence. While they are working on a
gas drilling rig in West Virginia, Joseph sees Priscilla go to the car and discovers
she and
her daughter, Hollie, are living in it. He must do something to help them.
Priscilla has been hired as a waitress on a one-week trial. She is running from an
abusive
relationship. Even though she is divorced from her husband, he wont let
them go. This is why she has such a hard time accepting that Joseph
wants to help her. Can she trust him? Will she ever be safe and not looking over
her shoulder? AN
AMISH MAN OF ICE MOUNTAIN is not your usual Amish story, trust me on that.
Joseph tells Priscilla that he knows of a safe place and he is willing to take
her there. Priscilla agrees and even though she is afraid, they head to Ice
Mountain, Pennsylvania. Her mother had been Amish but left to marry her
Englisch dad. Priscilla is a very
strong woman and does whatever it takes to keep her child and herself
safe. She has a good heart and is a good person. Through the twists and
turns of the story, Priscilla finds true contentment and love as she learns to
trust and let go of her fears.
The Bishop agrees to let Priscilla and Hollie stay in their Amish community, and
he assigns Joseph as Priscilla's prayer partner. Hollie is tired of running
and embraces life on Ice Mountain even though when her mom sees
something bad and wants to run, Hollie stands her ground and refuses to
leave. Joseph wants Priscilla to stay and heal. But Joseph feels he doesn't deserve
a family because of
bad things he did as a teenager.
AN AMISH MAN OF ICE MOUNTAIN is filled with amazing writing and is
such an unusual story for an Amish novel. Kelly Long does a wonderful job
of mixing the Amish and the Englisch lives in this series. This heartbreaking tale
takes on a subject that you don't normally read about in a
Amish story. There is some sexual content but nothing erotic or anything
that made me feel uncomfortable. I am enjoying this series and really
looking forward to reading THE AMISH HEART OF ICE MOUNTAIN when it
comes out in October 2015. I read this story in one afternoon and found
myself wanting to continue reading about Joseph and Priscilla even though
the last page was read.
Joseph King has good reasons to work an oil rig far from his
beloved Ice
Mountain . . . and to mind his own business. He hopes to
protect his younger
brother Edward from worldly influences. And maybe he can
finally forget how
yielding to temptation forced him to leave home in disgrace.
Still, no honorable
Amish man would let Priscilla Allen and her four-year-old
daughter remain
homeless, living out of their car. And how can he not be
drawn to the feisty
waitress's bravery and hidden strength . . .
Offering Priscilla a home on Ice Mountain as his
wife-in-name-only gives her a
place to start again. For Joseph, it's also an unexpected
chance to regain his
reputation and standing in the community. But Priscilla's
warmth, caring, and
determination to adjust to Amish society are renewing
Joseph's long-buried
hope. Now as his guilt and her wrenching secrets threaten
the fragile trust
growing between them, they will need the riskiest of
miracles to put the past to
rest--and fulfill a promise only love and renewed faith can
bring.
