I borrowed The Tinder Box from the local library. This book is one of the Authors best books. I highly recommend it to my Goodreads friends. Wait for The Timepiece, available in September of 2019.Īll readers of Amish Fiction and fans of Beverly Lewis will want to read the Tinder Box. I loved the unpredictable twist near the end of the story that will leave readers anxious for the compelling conclusion to The Tinder Box. I thought it was a heart warming story that taught a good lesson on the importance of honesty with those you love. The motto of this story is not to keep hidden secrets from those you love and also the importance of having a forgiving heart. A secret that robbed Earnest of his peace of mind and drove him into deep conviction. A secret that had the power to hurt his family should anyone discover the real truth that he was hiding, locked away in his Tinder Box. But there was a secret that Earnest hid from his family and the Amish church. In fact folks forgot he once was from the English world. After a time they were married and started having children.Įarnest became a respectable Amish man in his community. Soon he started to court a lovely Amish girl that he'd met at a road side vegetable stand. He went through a time of proving and then joined the Amish church. So when he was a young adult in college and he was hurt by someone he trusted and loved, he made a big change in his life. His grandparents however were plain Mennonites and had a lot of influence in young Earnest Miller's life. How could it be any better?Įarnest Miller grew up in the fancy English world. Awesome reading experience as far as I'm concerned. Totally a five star rating from this reader. Wow!!! Not since Beverly Lewis' book, The Shunning, have I been so caught up in any of her stories as I was this one. I received this book in exchange for my honest review and am truly happy to provide it! All the thoughts are my own. I'm giving it 3 stars but if the whole book had been like the last page I would have given 5 stars. Though that ending was slightly surprising and I NEED to read the next one! If you like Amish books you definitely need to check this one out! There was a good bit of intrigue to go along with the rest of the story and the ending has me wanting to read the next book so bad right now! She did a wonderful job with this novel and I look forward to the next book in the series! Let's just go with it's not my cup of tea. My Thoughts: I liked this book, I really did.

*shrugs* That may just be me though.įor where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. It was like it was doomed from the start. My favorite character/s: Hmm, I guess that would have to be Sylvia, she was an interesting character and I liked reading about her but I kinda disliked her relationship with her beau.
