Okay, I just finished this book and I give it three stars. It was good don’t get me wrong and I did like it but I guess because so much went on at the start of the story <spoiler>Rachel and Jacob slept together and admitted to their love in the first 25% </spoiler> I felt like it dragged. I kept sneaking looks at the percentage bar..
I really didn’t get the Amish vibe throughout the story, there wasn’t much Amish in the story and that is one of the reasons for the 3 stars More...

Discription: Jacob Sauder abandons his Amish heritage when the woman he loves, Rachel Zook, agrees to marry his brother, Simon. Though he adapts to the ways of the “English” — even fathering twins — he remains an outsider. When the mother of his twins dies, Jacob knows only one way to raise his children — the Amish way. He brings them home to the community he vowed to leave forever. For his children he can do anything, even be strong when he sees Rachel, his love, married to his brother.

I really, really enjoyed this book. I loved the story line and it kept moving and kept you engrossed the whole entire time. However, because of descriptive scenes within the book, this book can not be considered christian fiction. But even so, the scenes were tastfully done, and not in any way explicit. The story focused on struggling with forgiveness of others and self. Very good book. The author is a great story teller.

Oh my goodness! This is the best book I have read in a long time. I was surprised by the naughty part(s) but the story was real. I got to have one of my favorite genres mixed in with my Amish fascination and a very moral story on forgiveness. I recommend this book to everyone.

I got this for my Kindle because one reviewer said it was the best Amish book she had ever read. Well, I disagree. I found it trite and predictable.

Jacob's Return is an incredibly moving and emotionally intense novel. This is an Amish love story and it is a powerful bit of storytelling. I found this book mesmerizing--could not put it down. Blair has done a superb job immersing the reader into the Amish way of life. The characters are wonderful....real, nuanced, conflicted, loving. This book does not shy away from tragedy....it's simply unavoidable here. But after an emotional roller coaster, the ending was absolute perfection. Lovely, unexp

Generally a good read but a bit too much repetition. How many times did we need to be told that their love couldn't be, that she was married forever to someone else? Near the end I wondered how the author would resolve the situation and was surprised and happy with the outcome.
