Amish of Weaver's Creek Roll of the Drums, Book 2, (Paperback)

The Roll of the Drums is a thrilling book and kept me on the edge of my seat. Author Jan Drexler has written an awesome book. There are different things happening, which kept me very intrigued and interested throughout the whole book. The author did an excellent job bringing out all the characters faith. I highly recommend reading The Roll of the Drums. Author Jan Drexler will not disappoint. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. This review is one hundred percent my opinion.

What a wonderful story this is with characters that are easy to fall in love in. I loved how the author captured the time period and weaved a beautiful theme of forgiveness and hope. Ruby has always thought of herself as unattractive and not marriage material. What I liked about her was how vulnerable she was. Her heart for others is a great reminder of how we should help others. When she sees that a family needs help, she welcomes them into her family's home. Without hesitation she helps care for the children as well as the mother was is gravely ill. It was interesting to read how close she became to Lavinia while caring for her. There are some emotional parts in the book that may cause tears, so be warned. There is a promise made to Lavinia that Ruby is not sure she can keep. Have you ever broken a promise? Gideon has a lot to deal with and turns to Ruby for help. It was not surprising that people in the community disapproved of their arrangement. The story is well written with historical facts that bring the past to life. I loved reading about the Civil War and the destruction it did to families. Sometimes we forget about the civilians in a war who pay a big price for their freedom. The author has written a beautiful example of following your heart and allowing God to lead you to forgiveness. I received a copy of this book from Revell Reads Blog Program. The review is my own opinion.
