The Devoted
A Novel
About
The Amish life is all she's ever known--but will it satisfy her soul?Restless and adventurous, Ruthie Stoltzfus is right on the cusp of leaving her Amish home. Secretly, she's earned her GED, saved her money--but she can't quite set her journey into motion. Just as everything falls into place, along comes Patrick Kelly.
Patrick is a young man on a journey of his own. He's come to Stoney Ridge to convert to the Amish and has given himself thirty days to learn the language, drive a buggy, and adapt to "everything Plain." Time is of the essence and every moment is to be cherished--especially the hours he spends with Ruthie, his Penn Dutch tutor.
Ruthie's next-door neighbor and cunning ex-boyfriend, Luke Schrock, is drawn to trouble like a moth to a flame. Rebellious, headstrong, defiant, Luke will do anything to win Ruthie back--and Patrick Kelly is in his way.
Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher invites you back to Stoney Ridge for a story of dreams deferred--and the promise of hopes fulfilled.

My review;
"The Devoted" is another great book by author Suzanne Woods Fisher. Whenever I really want to read a nice story I grab one of her novels. "The Devoted' is a story of love and hope. Ruthie Stoltzfus has done all she can to start out on her own. She has just met Patrick Kelly and she will never be the same. Patrick wants to be Amish. After thirty days he will decide what he is going to do. Ruthie is going to be his helper. But, her past boyfriend Luke Schrock wants to get Ruthie back. Can he stop Patrick from maybe taking her away? I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing Company and all opinions are mine.
