Praise for Beth Wiseman’s
Daughters of the Promise series
“Plain Promise is Beth Wiseman’s masterpiece. It’s the
story of two unlikely friends’ journey toward faith and love.
This heart-warming novel brings readers hope and paints a
beautiful, authentic portrait of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania. Her characters are so real that they feel like
old friends. Once you open the book, you won’t put it down
until you’ve reached the last page.”
— Amy Clipston,
best-selling author
of A Gift of Grace
“Beth Wiseman’s Plain Pursuit is a charming work of
fiction that beautifully paints the quaint picture of the simple
ways of the Amish lifestyle. This novel, like its predecessor,
Plain Perfect, really brings home a message of family
devotion. This is wholesome entertainment that I can
effortlessly recommend without any reservation. What a
sweet romantic story.”

“Wiseman’s Christian romance novel is just ‘plain’ good.”
— Fayette County Record,
La Grange, Texas regarding
Plain Perfect
“Plain Pursuit’s story line will hit you in the heart almost
from page one. As you keep going deeper into the story, it
ceases being a “story” and begins to feel like you are an
active participant in a group of people’s lives. Learning the
history of shunning in the Amish world and trying to justify
what they believe in your world where anything would be
done to save a child’s life. When you witness where these
two worlds collide, there is frustration, awe, and tears. [It]
will take you from the thrills of a new love as Noah and
Carley explore each other’s pasts together, to the bottom of
despair as the life of a child hangs by a thread.”

“I was kind of dreading reading yet another Amish novel as
not too many of the more recently published ones measure
up to Beverly Lewis or Wanda Brunstetter. However, Plain
Perfect is the exception rather than the rule. And I couldn’t
help but keep reading the well crafted story. The characters
could be real, with real life struggles, and even the Amish
had issues to work through.”

“Beth Wiseman gives the reader a delightful glimpse into
the life of [the] Amish [in Plain Perfect]. [Her] writing is truly
inspired.”
— Schulenburg Sticker,
Schulenburg, Texas
“The importance of finding peace and acceptance,
especially within oneself, is a central theme in this book, the
second in Wiseman’s Daughters of the Promise series.
Well-defined characters and story make for an enjoyable
read.”
— Romantic Times regarding
Plain Pursuit
“[A] touching, heartwarming story. Wiseman does a
particularly great job of dealing with shunning, a
controversial Amish practice that seems cruel and
unnecessary to outsiders . . . If you’re a fan of Amish fiction,
don’t miss Plain Pursuit!”
— Kathy Fuller,
author of A Man of His Word
“[Plain Pursuit is] a well crafted story with fully drawn
characters and has nice pacing.”
