The Newcomer Review

The Newcomer by Suzanne Woods Fisher was a good one. It took me a little longer to finished it because I had troubled reading at first but once I got halfway through the book it was a lot better. 

This is a historical Amish book about Anna Konig and her fellow church members. They have been traveling 10 weeks across the ocean before they finally arrive in Philadelphia. They are eager to start a new life in Pennsylvania frontier. Bishop Jacob Bauer, founder of the settlement and father to ship carpenter Bairn. It is a reunion for the Bauer family. Anna and Bairn are in love. :) The exciting moment does not last for long before Bairn is offered a chance to cross the ocean one last time. Will Anna wait for him or will she marry Henrik Newman the newcomer who joins the church?

I gave it a 4 stars

I am planning to read the next one, The Return in this series. Suzanne Woods Fisher is a great author! :) 

I recommend this to anyone who like historical Amish fiction. 

Thanks to Netgalley for letting me read The Newcomer in exchange for my honest review.
