Ilustration During Books Paradise Valley (Daughters of Caleb Bender #1)
An Amish settlement in Ohio has run afoul of a law requiring their children to attend public school. Caleb Bender and his neighbors are arrested for neglect, with the state ordering the children be placed in an institution. Among them are Caleb's teenage daughter, Rachel, and the boy she has her eye on, Jake Weaver. Romance blooms between the two when Rachel helps Jake escape the children's home.Searching for a place to relocate his family where no such laws apply, Caleb learns there's inexpensive land for sale in Mexico, a place called Paradise Valley. Despite rumors of instability in the wake of the Mexican revolution, the Amish community decides this is their answer. Since it was Caleb's idea, he and his family will be the pioneers. They will send for the others once he's established a foothold and assessed the situation. Caleb's daughters are thrown into turmoil. Rachel doesn't want to leave Jake. Her sister, Emma, who has been courting Levi Mullet, fears her dreams of marriage will be dashed. Miriam has never had a beau and is acutely aware there will be no prospects in Mexico.
Once there, they meet Domingo, a young man and guide who takes a liking to Miriam, something her father would never approve. While Paradise Valley is everything they'd hoped it would be, it isn't long before the bandits start giving them trouble, threatening to upset the fledgling Amish settlement, even putting their lives in danger. Thankfully no one has been harmed so far, anyway.

Wow, this author can write! I'd read some of his books before under his other pen name (W. Dale Cramer), but this is the first Amish book of his that I'd tried. I had sort of burned out on Amish fiction for several reasons: they all seem vaguely similar, and they mostly involve Amish who are unhappy or don't feel like they fit in so they are trying to leave the Amish. This book breaks the mold. And moreover it is based on a true story - the story of the author's own ancestors.It begins with

This story, inspired by actual events, explores the depths of love and commitment among the members of an Amish community and the lengths they will go to to honor their beliefs and protect way of life. Even more inspiring is the effect these determined folk have on the people they encounter as they start new lives in the wilds of Mexico. Faced with unscrupulous
My two favorite genre's to read are historical fiction, and Amish fiction, and when I realized that Dale Cramer had woven the two together to give the reader an Amish historical fiction, I had to read it. In 1921 Ohio passes a law called the Bing act that stated All children between the ages of six and sixteen must be in school five days a week. The Amish had been sending their children to school one day a week, because they felt the education they needed couldn't be found in a consolidated
