Plain Pursuit is the second book of the Daughters of the Promise series by Beth Wiseman. Another series based on the Amish lifestyle by yet another author. I would have thought this genre of books had been worn out but obviously there are authors determined to put their stamp on it.
Plain Pursuit begins with Carley Marek, the book's main character, being forced to take a paid vacation after recovering from a major accident. Carley decides to visit an Amish friend, Lillian, in hopes that the peaceful setting would rub off on her. Unfortunately, for Carley, life seems to unravel for her Amish friend's family. Shortly after arriving at her friend's house, Lillian's son falls ill. While at the hospital, the family meets Dr. Noah who is a stranger for some but for others he is well known. In Carley's quest to find out the secrets surrounding Dr. Noah she gets too close and soon, emotions begin to get the best of everyone.
Carley knows Dr. Noah has a secret he's hiding and she's determined to find out what it is. Nothing prepared Carley for what she would eventually find. Or for what would find her. Love. Will Carley turn her back on the new sense of family and peace to return to Houston and the busy pace of her job? Or, will she decide to follow her heart and take a risk with whatever the future holds for her? You have to read the story to find out.
It took me a while to get into Plain Pursuit. At first, the character's dialogue seemed forced. I was half way through the book when I finally felt invested in the characters and what happens in their lives. I prefer a book that captures my attention faster than that. With that said though, the book was not a total loss. I enjoyed how the story tied everything together at the end. If you read this story you will eventually feel a sense of closure, you just have to get to the end of the book to feel it. Overall, I was pleased with the story.
