A refreshing change of pace as this Amish storyline is different than the usual. There are scenes in and interactions with the outside world which gives this a modern feel as compared to many Amish books which sometimes feel outdated or old-fashioned due to their isolated setting.
Another difference is that the low-key romance is in the background and Fiona's personal distress regarding her past, present, and future is the focus. Her background and resentment make her a character that many can relate to and empathize with.
Fiona's struggles revolve around family relationships and she eventually comes to terms with what family and belonging mean. Family can be the people you choose just as much as biological relatives, just the same as home and family is as much place as it is people.
An enjoyable and honest feel-good story about finding your place.

Fiona's Ultimate Choice
This was a sweet story about a young girl's choice who had been raised as a foster child in an Amish home but yearned to find and know her bearth mother. She had choices to make as to whether she wanted to stay with the family that raised her and the boy she loved there or to give all that up to live with her real mother. It was well written and I would definitely recommend it!

A gentle read and the "troubled" teen was, as we expected a lovely young woman. My only complaint was that this is the second story about the Zooks which isn't mentioned and a reference to the previous story The Foster Child's Amish Love would have been helpful to understand the foster family dynamics
