Episode 84: Amish Romance (Entrop[e]y #1) — The Wish by Patricia Davids

We’re coming out the gate at a wagon’s pace for this series y’all, beginning in the bucolic pastures of the middle west. This week, Morgan and Isabeau embark on a reverse rumspringa with a plunge into Amish romance, led by the deft hand of Patricia Davids in the first installment of her Amish of Cedar Grove series, The Wish. This slow burn sweet romance meanders through the agrarian and folksy close quarters courtship of our heroine, widow Laura Beth Yoder, and the formerly Amish and formerly incarcerated, Joshua King. But will the implications of racial and patriarchal supremacy outweigh the flutter of hands at the butter churn? Can a culture built on strict biblical fidelity produce enough heat to spark passion? Do yr girls have the patience for sweet romance? Unplug everything but yr podcatcher for this one y’all.
