One True Path

• One True Path: Amish Road Series Book 3 by Barbara Cameron on Amazon

I've been enjoying Barbara Cameron's novels about contemporary mostly Pennsylvania Dutch Amish culture very much. Just as with her other books, in One True Path that's Book 3 of the Amish Roads Series, Cameron brings us some days in the lives that are far more up-close and personal than you'd get in a typical bird's eye view from the sky, more meaningful than what neighbors next door might imagine they'd learned about the family in the house next to theirs by watching them come and go or by casting quick glances into windows.

Every one of us lives the moments of our days at a small scale micro level; events and experiences of a young on-again, off-again couple, Rachel Ann and Abram are no different from what's been happening to people all around the country and in most parts of the digitized universe. At first the days of their lives appear simpler, plainer, and easier to deal with than, but given the complexity of human emotions, desires, memories, and histories, I'm not convinced that's the case. Since I've read other books by Cameron, I liked getting reacquainted with and updated on some of the characters I'd previously met.

Amish interactions with nearby Englisch (who are all non-Amish, not only those of British Isles heritage and ancestry) folks and tourists from outside the greater Lancaster County area especially interest me. End of the book includes ...recipes again, and I hope for different ones next time... and excerpts from the first two books in the series: A Road Unknown, that's now on my to-read list, and Crossroads, that I've already read and reviewed.
