Rachel Glick has not had an easy life.  First, her father died, and then her brother as the result of a fire. She has been supporting her bedridden mother by selling her quilting since she was fourteen.  As a child, she and Josh Yoder had enjoyed a beautiful friendship.  He saw her through her grief after her father died.  After her brother's tragic death, he removed himself from their friendship with no explanation. The reason for Josh's behavior is that he is consumed by guilt and he does not have the courage to tell Rachel why. 

Set in an Amish community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, DATING AN AMISH FLIRT, by Rachel J. Good is a story about the possibility of second chances even when it seems a happy outcome is unlikely.  Rachel and Josh are likable protagonists, but there are issues.  Josh has chosen to court someone else and Rachel has been unfairly labeled a flirt and is ostracized by her peers. When circumstances and a remarkable Englischer put them into each other's orbit, it becomes almost impossible to ignore that they still love one another. Can they overcome the obstacles in their way?

The author has crafted a heartwarming story that blends together many important themes including faith, family, grace, community and kindness.  DATING AN AMISH FLIRT is a story told with sensitivity and is well worth reading.  Highly recommended.
