"Plain Proposal" by Beth Wiseman

I recently got a book from booksneeze- “Plain Proposal” by Beth Wiseman. Due to some legal thing, I’m under no obligation to give this book a positive review, so everything that I say is honestly my honest, real opinion. This book, “Plain Proposal” is a good example of Amish fiction. There seem to be a lot of interest in Amish romantic fiction in the Christian department and this book by Beth Wiseman will not disappoint. A young Amish woman named Miriam is in love with Saul, a young Amish man. Rumors begin circulating that Saul may leave the Amish lifestyle, Miriam ignores them. This book was a fantastic book on the wonderfulness of God and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Amish fiction, or even historical fiction- because of the setting, it feels at points almost as if it is set in the nineteenth century, despite the specifically Amish words and cultures. “Plain Proposal” is the newest book by Beth Wiseman, and it has been one of my absolute favorites of all. And like most Amish books, this one has a scrumptious recipe in the back as well, which just adds to the “deliciousness” of this novel!
