Hopefully Ever After

The Amish Bookstore Novels, Book 3

De: Beth Wiseman

Narrado por: Lauren Berst

To become who they’re meant to be, Eden and Samuel must find the courage to defy expectations.

Sixteen-year-old Eden Hale doesn’t want to be defined by her current circumstances. With absent parents and a troubled past, Eden refuses to become what people expect. When she is sent to live with an Amish cousin she’s never met in Montgomery, Indiana, she welcomes the chance to become the person she wants to be without the burden of anyone’s judgment. Her hopes are confirmed when she meets Samuel, a young Amish man who seems to like her for who she really is.

Samuel Byler has grown up with strict Amish parents, and they aren’t happy that their only son is choosing to spend his free time with an outsider. As Eden and Samuel grow closer, disapproval swirls around the young couple. It isn’t long before Eden starts to doubt herself and wonders if she is doomed to repeat the mistakes of her own past, whether she wants to or not. Meanwhile, Samuel finds himself slipping further and further from his faith—to Eden’s dismay.

Both Eden’s and Samuel’s futures hang in the balance as they face decisions about who they are meant to be—both as individuals and together.

Awesome book series

I was disappointed when it ended wanted more it was so good! I listened to this series in a mater of a few day. This book I listened to in one day, that's how good it was.

The third of the Bookstore series

Another great story from Beth Wiseman. I’ve enjoyed this third in a series of love stories. I liked it because it told the story of multiple characters and how it affected each character and their responses to each other with love, compassion, forgiveness etc.

Unexpectedly good

I enjoyed this book. It was a good balance between realism and possibility. Good character development with a little intrigue.

Hopefully 'Ever After Book 3

This was a good Book 3 to tie things together. A budding teen romance that struggles with family interference, because of differences in Amish upbringing through the Rumspringa. At age sixteen, time for the Amish to go through their teens before being Baptized hopefully. The romance of the Amish and the English mixed couple to work this out. The reader is taken through memories of our own upbringing, Just what should be correct for this situation or not.

Then there is the situation of the Book Store and how it keeps the Antique plaque standards through it all.
A well done book and do wish there could be a Book 4. Lauren Berst does a very good narration and I do not know how changing the characters conversations back and forth is done so easily. Perhaps there is much pausing and redoing of parts, I just do not know how the teams for keeping it going. Authors with your Series of books and not too long Novels.
