With a vibrant, fresh style Suzanne Woods Fisher brings readers
into the world of a young Amish woman torn between following the
man she loves--or joining the community of faith that sustains her,
even as she questions some of the decisions of her elders. Her
choice begins a torrent of change for her and her family, including
a marriage of convenience to silent Daniel Miller. Both bring
broken hearts into their arrangement--and secrets that have been
held too long.
Filled with gentle romance, The Choice opens the world of
the Amish--their strong communities, their simple life, and their
willingness to put each other first. Combined with Fisher's
exceptional gift for character development, this novel, the first
in a series, is a welcome reminder that it is never too late to
find your way back to God.
Lancaster County has always been her home--but where does her
heart belong?
One moment Carrie Weaver was looking forward to running away with
Lancaster Barnstormers pitcher Solomon Riehl--plans that included
leaving the Amish community where they grew up. The next moment she
was staring into a future as broken as her heart. Now, Carrie is
faced with a choice. But will this opportunity be all she hoped? Or
will this decision, this moment in time, change her life
forever?
A tender story of love, forgiveness, and looking below the surface,
The Choice uncovers the sweet simplicity of the Amish world--and
shows that it's never too late to find your way back to God.

"A story of endearing characters. . . . Fisher writes with a fresh
