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 Review:
This is the second novel in the series of Road to
Kingdom. This book is told from the perceptive of Hope Kauffman who was a secondary
character in the first novel. I would recommend this magnificent book to people
who love the western style, ole timey feeling adventures. I have read the first
book in the series and Nancy Mehl did an even better job on describing and
adding more action to the storyline. I immensely loved the plot of Hope being
torn between marrying Ebbie or pursuing a relationship with Jonathon. Who hasn’t
had to make a choice on who they love more? An even interesting scheme was the
violent that was coming from outsiders to the small town. Hope was almost
killed when a truck ran her buggy off the road. The truck even returned to kill
a dear person who was loved by everyone in the small town. This is where the
action really begins, most of the younger people wanted to stand up and to
protect their people from harm. The older religious demanded that God doesn’t
like violent and we’re supposed to let Him protect us from evil. The conflict
between the different generational views will keep readers engaged to the last
page. I felt like the story was modern in today’s time with do we allow guns or
not. The book is a thriller mixed with religion themes and even though it is a continuation
it can still read alone. But the first one is pretty good too! If you’re
looking for a suspenseful novel then this one is for you!
