Accidentally Amish isnt a typical Amish book in that the main character, Annie Frieson, is not Amish. Also, this work is actually 2 parallel stories interwoven into one novel. In addition to the contemporary, romantic suspense of Annie, there is a second story about Annies ancestors, who came to America in 1737.

The main story, about Annie, takes the reader quickly on a chase as Annie flees from her former boyfriend and lawyer, whom she no longer trusts. Annies frightful flight from the city terminates in an Amish barn far from her hectic life as a software developer. There she meets the Beilers as her world and her heart collide with the world of the Amish.

I enjoyed reading Accidentally Amish. I like the way the stories move right along. The characters are interesting and have unique personalities. I especially like the historical story about Jakob and Verona, who along with their five children, left Switzerland and came to American seeking religious freedom. The hardships they endured with resolution, for their faith, are difficult to imagine.

I am not convinced that Annies decisions are totally realistic, so it will be interesting to see what happens in the book that follows.
