Megan Weaver is the 'green bean' in the Three Bean Salad and is still single. Katy and Lil have both married, now Megan wonders if she will ever find the right man. Long ago at summer camp the girls were dubbed with this moniker and made a pact to be each other's bridesmaids. Megan stated then that she would marry either a missionary or a preacher. So far, neither has come along, but when their pastor dies unexpectedly of a heart attack, the search for a new one may bring a prospect.
Megan's work brings another change into her life. Her boss is taking a couple months off to try to repair his marriage that is coming apart. His brother, Chance Campbell, is filling in during his absence. Chance is a missionary pilot who flies supplies and sick and injured people in and out of the jungles of Ecuador. His personality is very different from his brother's. Chance determined to make Megan fall for him, only makes her uncomfortable. He never misses an opportunity to make a remark about the prayer covering on her head, her style of dress or her faith, referring to the Mennonites as 'her people.'
With the death of Pastor Troyer, the Mennonite church in Plain City is in search of a new pastor. Ben Zimmerman is coming for a trial weekend and will stay with Megan's family. She expects him to be older and is greatly surprised when she discovers he is someone she knew in college. He was a senior when she began school, but they do have a history, and it is not a pleasant one. She knew him as Micah, not Ben.
Megan went from having no man in her life to having two who are vying for her affections. She's really pulled toward Chance, but his not being Mennonite is a problem for her. Her history with Micah reminds her how obnoxious and determined he was in college. Could she possibly see herself with him? God has given her what she thought she wanted, both a missionary and a preacher, and she doesn't know what to do.
SOMETHING BLUE is the third book in Dianne Christner's Bridesmaids of Plain City series. This installment is just as delightful as the first two. It's nice to visit old friends, catch up on their lives and see where they are headed. You'll laugh and cry with Megan at the situations she gets herself into. Throughout SOMETHING BLUE, we are reminded to put faith and trust in God to set our paths straight and keep our eyes focused on Him. Which young man does she choose, or will she choose either one? Read this wonderful story to find out! The author includes Megan's journal entries for the following year at the end of the book and lets us know there are more entries on her website at: www.diannechristner.net.
