Plain Proposal by Beth Wiseman

With this A Daughter of the Promise novel, Beth Wiseman tells the story full of the lessons of forgiveness. Forgiving others as well as forgiving ourselves. We read about Miriam, Saul, Shelby and Miriam’s family as they learn those lessons.

Miriam is in love with Saul, who is considering leaving the Amish community. Her life begins to take a turn as she struggles with this love and eventually with the reason he wants to leave. Will she go with him?

 Add to this the arrival of her cousin, Shelby, who has been sent to live with her Amish aunt and uncle by her parents.  An Englischer, Shelby has left a troubled home and finds the meaning of love and family during her time with Miriam’s family.

Rather than give away surprises this novel holds for the reader, I will end by saying that becoming a Daughter of the Promise is a spiritual journey that a woman takes when she finds the true meaning to the words faith, hope and love.

Miriam and Shelby both find that they have strong faith, hope for their futures and a love for God with their whole hearts.
