Book Review: A Simple Change

 

 

 

Judith Miller, has crafted a beautiful new novel, in the Home to Amana series, A

Simple Change. Growing up in Kansas City, with the hustle and bustle,

carefree lifestyle, and modern conveniences, Jancey Rhoder is little prepared for

the new lifestyle that awaits her as she steps into small town Iowa, Middle

Amana. Yes, the convenience of having a maid prepared her meals is one of

the noticeable changes for Jancey, but women not being able to teach the

children their schooling is the one that plucks the strands of her heart the

most. How can this change really be simple? One day completely immersed in

popular culture, and the next trying to adjust to the rules and regulation of this

new culture. I was intrigued by the heart of Jancey, how she longed to learn the

ways of the Amish. Judith Miller is an expert storyteller, and she does not

disappoint in this novel. There is the usual love interest in this book, but it is

the love that Jancey has for her mother who is dying and the care that she gives

to her that spoke volumes to my heart.  I would give this book 4 stars.
