Book Review: Unbreakable ~ The Review Stew

About Unbreakable:

Gentle and unassuming, Hope Kauffman has never been one to question the traditions of her Mennonite upbringing. She quietly helps her father run Kingdom Quilts and has agreed to the betrothal he arranged for her with the devout but shy Ebbie Miller.

Despite the attempts of Hope and other Kingdom residents to maintain the status quo, changes have already begun to stir in the small Mennonite town. The handsome and charismatic Jonathon Wiese is the leader of the move to reform, while Ebbie insists Kingdom must remain true to its foundation. When Hope's safety is threatened by a mysterious outsider, she can't help but question what she's always been taught about the Mennonite tradition of nonviolence.

As it swiftly becomes apparent the threat Hope faced is only the beginning, the town that's always stood so strong finds itself divided. With tensions high and their lives endangered by an unknown enemy, will Hope and the people of Kingdom allow fear and division to break them or will they draw on the strength of the God they serve?

Meet Nancy:

All of Nancy's novels have an a dded touch - something for your spirit as well as your soul. "I welcome the opportunity to share my faith through my writing," Nancy says. "God is number one in my life. I wouldn't be writing at all if I didn't believe that this is what He's called me to do. I hope everyone who reads my books will walk away with the most important message I can give them: God is good, and He loves you more than you can imagine. He has a good plan for your life, and there is nothing you can't overcome with Hi s help." Readers can learn more about Nancy through her Web site: www.nancymehl.com. She is also active on Facebook.

My Opinion

This book is the second in the "Road to Kingdom" series. Inescapable was the first book and you can see what I said about it here.

As for Unbreakable, I really enjoyed this book as much as I did Inescapable! It was so refreshing once again to get a really interesting and exciting storyline for a Mennonite based book. The books show real conflicts, real threats and real feelings and it was really well written!

I loved Hope as the main character this time since we briefly met her in the last book. She faces real world problems with love, business problems, and danger. I loved her personality and getting to know her!

I definitely recommend reading the first book in the series right before reading this one because it can get confusing with the large cast of characters and keeping them straight. It is not a stand alone book in my opinion.

So if you love the Amish/Mennonite genre, you will definitely love this unique book!
