Promise at Pebble Creek

Lisa Jones Baker writes Amish fiction.  She has a light hand with the plots she writes and they are readable, even for young adult readers. 

Her newest in the Hope Chest Series is Promise at Pebble Creek.  There isn't much to the plot, it is an easy reader, and a quick reader.

Hannah Lapp loves reading adventure novels and really wants some extra adventure to come into her life.  Marcus Jackson is a new hire of her brother in his contracting firm.  Marcus is a Christian, but he's not Amish.  Even though they feel something between them, it's still an impossible relationship because of the differences in their religion. 

There is a man breaking into Amish businesses, starting around the same time as Marcus came to town.  Even though he didn't do the burglaries, he is still suspected.  When he decides he wants to join the Amish church, he has a lot to overcome to be fully accepted. 

It's a quick read and enjoyable too.  There just isn't much meat on these bones. Three Stars.  I know Lisa writes good Amish fiction, but this doesn't fit her usual quality.
