About the Book:
All she wanted was a simple Amish life . . . But now Marianna Sommer finds herself depending on Englisch neighbors. Although proud of living apart from the world, she and her newly relocated Amish family have discovered that life in the remote mountains of Montana requires working together.
As Marianna begins helping those different from herself—and receiving their help—her heart contemplates two directions. She’s torn between the Amish man from Indiana whom she has long planned on marrying and the friendly Englischer who models a closer walk with God than she’s ever seen before.
Who should have young Marianna’s heart? What is God asking her to sacrifice? Her traditions? Her community? The answer is found along the wooded paths.

My Thoughts and Review:
I was very excited when I was chosen to read and review Along Wooded Paths. I have never read the first book in the series, Beside Still Waters, but I enjoy Amish books. I have read other books by Tricia, but never her Amish series, so I was very excited to be chosen for this blog tour.
I very much enjoyed this book. I have read many Amish Fiction books, but this was not your typical "Amish Book". I was very happy how the Amish and Englisch were friendly with each other, even to the point where Marianna struggles with her love for a boyfriend she left behind in Indiana and an Englischer whom she meets in Montana. The 2 communities, Amish and Englisch, mix and mingle well in Along Wooded Paths and that is one of the main parts of this book that kept me captivated and reading for hours! I highly recommend this book and I fully intend on picking up Beside Still Waters and reading that book as well.
