The Englisher (Annie's People Book 2)

Annie Zook finds herself in a constant struggle as she tries to uphold the promise she made to her preacher father to give up her passion for art in order to prove herself worthy of "joining church." Simultaneously, she is on the verge of giving in to a forbidden desire – a romantic relationship with the captivating Englisher who seems to have a genuine interest in her beyond mere curiosity. However, Ben Martin holds secrets of his own...

Annie's internal conflict grows as she navigates the expectations of her father and the allure of forbidden love. Her determination to win her father's approval is tested as she is drawn closer to Ben, questioning whether she can truly deny her feelings for him. The complexity of their relationship unfolds as they both struggle with their own demons and hidden truths.

Despite her inner turmoil, Annie must also contend with the judgment of her community, who may not understand or accept her choices. The pressures of conformity and tradition weigh heavily on her as she grapples with the need to stay true to herself while trying to fit into the expectations of those around her.

As Annie and Ben's relationship deepens, the stakes become higher as they confront the reality of their forbidden love and the consequences it may bring. Their journey is fraught with challenges and obstacles, forcing them to confront their own vulnerabilities and desires.

In the end, Annie must decide whether to follow her heart and risk everything for love, or to continue following the path laid out for her by her father and her community. The choices she makes will not only determine her own fate but also the fate of those around her. Will Annie find the courage to defy expectations and embrace the love she truly desires, or will she succumb to the pressures of her upbringing and sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of others? Only time will tell as Annie navigates the complexities of love, faith, and identity in a society that demands conformity and obedience above all else.
