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:

Life is going well for Megan. She’s always wanted to marry a
missionary and now she’s working with Chance, a charming and
daring missionary pilot. Then Micah Zimmerman moves into her
parent’s home as a pastoral candidate for their Conservative
Mennonite church—and he doesn’t look anything like the gawky
young man who had a crush on her in college. As Megan
struggles with her own personal identity and faith, she
begins to see the true difference between Chance and Micah.
Will her insight come too late, or is there still time to
find the hero of her dreams?
