Road to Kingdom - Book 1

This book took me a little while to get into the story, but once I did - I couldn't put it down.  There is some mystery wrapped up in the pages of this Mennonite story.  

This book is about a young mother named Lizzie.  She grew up in the Mennonite community, but left this lifestyle to give her daughter a better life.  

5 years after leaving the Mennonite community, Lizzie feels like she is being followed, and has been receiving threatening letters.  When there are problems that cause Lizzie to loose her job, she feels she has nowhere left to go, but to return to her hometown.  As a single mother, Lizzie wants nothing more than to settle into a routine that gives her daughter stability and love.  

Upon returning home, she has to face all the people she ran from when she left Kingdom.  After re-uniting with her mother, Lizzie is directed to a small restaurant and its owner, Cora.  Cora helps Lizzie with a place to stay, and a job working in the restaurant.  Lizzie is beginning to enjoy working at the restaurant and finds herself liking the small Kingdom community, that she ran from years ago.  Back into her life walks Noah, a good friend, and Clay, the father of Lizzie's little girl.  

Forced to seek God's direction on the relationships with the men in her life, and the future of  her daughter,  Lizzie learns to seek direction from her heavenly Father.  

This book has great characters, and also a great story.  I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in this series.  

Thanks to Bethany House Publishers for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
