Hometown by Wendy Rich Stetson

When all roads lead home, choosing the right one is never easy…

When Tessa Meadow's plans take the A Train to disaster, she lands back in her sleepy hometown, in the middle of Pennsylvania's Amish Country, and meets Jonas Rishel whose ties to the land and his family's Amish community grow strong and deep. Will Tessa continue her journey on the superhighway to the future—or take a slow walk through the tight, close-knit culture she never dreamed she'd glimpse from the inside?

Our Review:  First, we have rarely met such well-drawn characters who clearly and concisely meet the definitions of polar opposites. It was a true delight to meet them both. Second, the romance between Tessa and Jonas is almost heart breaking for its intensity as well as star-struck quality. Third, we weren’t expecting the ending and man, were we happy to have our socks knocked off. Well done, Ms. Stetson. Very well done.

On a scale of 1-5, Hometown deserves a solid 6.

  1. Thank you so much! Heartbreaking intensity and sock-knocking endings make me so happy. I'm glad they worked for you too.
