A Wedding For Julia
The Pebble Creek Amish book 3
by Vannetta Chapman
| -From the back cover- Just As Hope Runs Out The Door, Love Softly Peeks In Julia Beechy is so stunned, she can hardly breathe. The announcement that she must either marry or move from the family home on her mother's imminent death catches Julia by surprise. How can she leave the only home she has ever known? What about her dream of opening her own Plain cafe? Quiet Caleb Zook thought his time for marrying was long past, but he feels a stirring in his heart he cannot shake for this beautiful, forlorn woman. When he offers support, comfort, and a solution, Julia is afraid to accept it. Can she marry someone she barely knows? Is that the right thing to do? Is this God's plan for her future? For his? As Julia and Caleb work through the consequences of their life-altering decision, the people of Pebble Creek weather the worst storm in to hit Wisconsin in the last hundred years. Where will Julia and Caleb be on the other side of it? Since I have read the first two books in the series somewhat recently, I started A Wedding For Julia anticipating a good story. I was not disappointed in any way, it was great! It was fun checking in with Lydia, Aaron, Miriam, Gabe, and Grace. Getting to meet new characters and learning more about some we had already met. Of course, the beautiful Pebble Creek makes an appearance as well. I wished I could just go there, take a walk, and maybe do a little fishing like Caleb does. This book is a bit more serious than the previous books in the series. It takes on death, care of an aging parent, and other things. But it is also just as entertaining and will keep you reading even after you have promised to turn the light off and go to bed. I finished A Wedding For Julia in about 24 hours, it's been a long time since I read a book in a day and it was nice to find out I still could. |  . . This Book earned a 4.5 Bark rating.

One of the things I liked best was Vannetta Chapman's attention to detail. When I read the storm scenes I, honestly, was beginning to think it was just a wee bit over the top, such a storm isn't possible right? Boy, was I wrong! I decided to do a little research on the 1911 storm the characters refer to. Not only did the author describe what really happened in the Great Blue Norther of 1911, it was WORSE in some areas!
A fair amount of research must have gone into that part of the story and it showed. Great job, Vannetta! I really liked the entire book but the storm scenes quickly became my favorites, the author did an excellent job meshing historical facts with a modern setting.
This book is one I will definitely read again at least once. I have enjoyed the entire series and would recommend all of the books to anyone that enjoys the Amish genre or would like to give it a try.
