Rendition During Books Kate's Song (Apple Lake Amish #1)

Kate Weaver was raised in an Amish home and has always been expected to choose baptism and strict observance of the Ordnung. But Kate is blessed with a beautiful singing voice, and when another path leads her to the academy for vocal training, she struggles to understand God's will for her life. She returns to Apple Lake, haunted by a violent encounter with a fellow student, and finds herself drawn to the peace and devotion of her Amish home. But can she give up her dreams? Or will her calling forever separate her from the people and the way of life she holds so dear? Nathaniel King has never wavered in his commitment to the community and the Old Order Amish Church into which he is baptized. He has been in love with Kate for as long as he can remember, and he is devastated when she leaves Apple Lake to attend the academy. When Kate returns, will she make his most profound hopes a reality--or will she break his heart all over again?

Commentary Regarding Books Kate's Song (Apple Lake Amish #1)

This is the first book i read, written by Jennifer Beckstrand. I enjoyed every bit of it. the story line was really good. Some of the dialogues spoken by the characters made me laugh out loud. Immediately made me want to get the other books in the series. Got them too.

There were too many unrealistic responses by characters in this book 1. The parents lack of worry/outrage/questions at their daughters physical and emotional condition when she unexpectedly arrives home before completing her much fought for opportunity to attend school and study music among the English, 2. The uncharacteristic meanness and hatefulness/pettiness of the older brother and his wife, and 3. The young man who loves her has the patience and determination to wait for her, but not the

I thought this book was a lot more nuanced than I expected at first glance. I appreciated Kate's struggle in finding her place in God's plan, and saw unexpected parallels to my own journey with finding 'my' song. I also appreciated how Elmer was willing to stick up for his sister.Unfortunately, I did not end up liking Nathaniel very much. His actions, and who he ended up trusting were definitely cringe-worthy. (And that's as far as I can go without giving major spoilers.)This was my first

One of my sons knows the woman who wrote this--she lives in Davis County. It is well written, but it had one too many misunderstandings for my taste as it drew to the inevitable conclusion. I can't stand villains that won't die, plot holes, overly emotional heroines and too many obstacles before the happy ending.

What a great read! A lot of research for authenticity went into this book. The dialogue is charmingly Amish and the relationship between the characters amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed every word!

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOKKates Song is such a heartwarming story because Kate struggles between her singing and her Amish faith. Her main interest is Gods will for her life, but just what is His will? Is it her singing career or at home in her Amish community? And the Ordnung will not allow her to have both. Kates journey is a difficult one as she struggles to make a decision.Jennifer Beckstrand is a new author for me, and I am very glad I had the opportunity to read and review Kates Song. I love

* Before diving into the book itself, I feel the need to warn you that as much as this book is a romance novel at heart, it is also a little different from what I typically choose to read. In many reviews, I have seen readers call it a Christian Romance. That threatened to turn me away from this book immediately. Although I am a Christian, I do not consider religion to play a strong role in my life, let alone find it to be a topic I enjoy exploring for relaxing enjoyment. Thanks to Amazon.com
