I had never read any of Nancy Mehl's books until this one. This book is
the first in the Road to Kingdom series. The main character Lizzie
grew up in a Mennonite community with an unloving, strict and harsh
father so it was not surprising when she became pregnant with a boy who
showed her some attention. Of course the boy bailed on her. Rather
than get an abortion like the boy's parents wanted her to do she had the
baby anyway. Feeling like the pariah of her community she leaves the
community and starts a new life far away from Kingdom. Everything is
good in her life. She has a job she love and is working on a college
degree. Everything is fine until she realizes she is being stalked and
also there is a problem at work where she thinks she is going to get the
blame for something criminal. She does the only thing she knows to do
and that is to return to Kingdom. She reunites with her mother but the
relationship with her father has not changed. He is still the harsh and
unloving man that she last saw. She settles in and thinks everything
is fine until she suspects that the stalker may have followed her. Will
she run again or wait it out? This is a book that kept me up late at
night flipping pages!
I can't wait until the next book in the series "Unbreakable" is released in 2013.
