Breaking New Ground (An Amish Legacy #3)

Breaking New Ground by Amy Clipston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
All is well that ends well This third book in the Bontrager men's legacy has the second son Korey returned from a self exile to reconnect with his family. Savannah has raised her brother since she was 5 years old and is pretty much his mother, but as he matures it isn't clear where her loyalties will lie. Then the absent Dad shows up after 19 years and wants to reconcile. Lots of drama here. But what I appreciated was the repeated guidance toward prayer and following God's lead.

Korey Bontrager and Savannah Zook are just pretending to date—but could their feelings turn into something more?

Korey Bontrager knows he's been an immature dummkopp. When his widowed dad remarried, Korey was unwelcoming to his kindhearted stepmother. Then he became estranged from his older brother. But after fourteen months in Ohio, God called Korey back to Pennsylvania.

Easier said than done. Back home, Korey feels left behind by his family and friends, who want to see him happily married. Instead of looking for a new relationship, he finds himself spending time with Savannah Zook: the most outspoken maedel he's ever met. She's also confident and brave, having raised her younger brother from a young age. And she's a natural beauty. But, hard as her friends try to convince her otherwise, she has no interest in dating. Her priority is looking out for her bullied brother.

So when Savannah suggests they pretend to date as a way to get her friends—and his family—off their backs, Korey readily agrees. Soon, he can't imagine life without her. But could Savannah ever truly be part of his future?

Set in the faithful Amish community of Lancaster County, Breaking New Ground gives the most stubborn Bontrager a chance to redeem his story.
