Gentle and unassuming, Hope Kauffman has never been one to question the traditions of her Mennonite upbringing. She quietly helps her father run Kingdom Quilts and has agreed to the betrothal he arranged for her with the devout but shy Ebbie Miller.
Despite the attempts of Hope and other Kingdom residents to maintain the status quo, changes have already begun to stir in the small Mennonite town. The handsome and charismatic Jonathon Wiese is the leader of the move to reform, while Ebbie insists Kingdom must remain true to its foundation. When Hope’s safety is threatened by a mysterious outsider, she can’t help but question what she’s always been taught about the Mennonite tradition of nonviolence.
As it swiftly becomes apparent the threat Hope faced is only the beginning, the town that’s always stood so strong finds itself divided. With tensions high and their lives endangered by an unknown enemy, will Hope and the people of Kingdom allow fear and division to break them or will they draw on the strength of the God they serve?
My take on this book:
The residents of the Mennonite town of Kingdom have been the target of several acts of violence,and the town has become divided on how to handle these acts. Some want to handle it in a nonviolent way by turning the other cheek, while others are tired and want to stand up and protect their own. Hope Kauffman has always don what was right, never going against her Mennonite upbringing, but when her safety is threatened, what will she ultimately decide to do? Can this unknown enemy divide the town of Kingdom, what will the residents ultimately decide to do? Does Hope proceed with her plans of marriage or will her heart be drawn in a different direction?
I have been a fan of Ms. Mehl's for quite some time. I always find myself drawn completely into the stories she tells, and with "Unbreakable" I found myself drawn into the town of Kingdom, needing to know how things would play out. I found myself torn over what I might do. I really enjoyed Hope's story and how she ultimately chose who she would be with. She was such a likable character, true to her faith. "Unbreakable" provides romance, suspense, mystery along with a small town feel where the town and it's residents become a part of the story. While this is the second book in the "Road To Kingdom" series, I feel like the author provides enough background information to make it a stand alone read, although if you enjoy a good suspense filled read, with a nice spiritual message woven in then your going to want to read the entire series.
A complimentary copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review.
