Brian's Choice (Plain and Simple Miracles) by Vannetta Chapman

Book Description:

Brian’s Choice is an e-only novella prequel to the brand-new Plain and Simple Miracles collection from popular author Vannetta Chapman (A Promise for Miriam). These stories of love and family and Amish community in Oklahoma tell of the miracles that can happen when lives are lived in service to God and to one another.
Brian Walker has it all—a trust fund, the job of his dreams, and a beautiful woman at his side. But all of that changes in one tragic moment. Six months later he finds himself in the small town of Cody’s Creek, Oklahoma, and eventually becomes a member of the Amish community located there.

Brian feels God’s hand directing his path, and he begins to hope that perhaps his past is behind him for good. However, nothing prepares him for the day his bishop asks him a question.

Brian’s choice changes everything.
A story about the miracle of faith, the solace of love, and our ability to forgive and be forgiven.

My Reflections:

When a book, especially a novella, can capture you right from the start, you know it’s going to be good, and Brian’s Choice fits that to a tee.  It begins with the prologue which instantly piques your interest as it sets up the rest of the story.  From that point on, the pieces start falling into place as you realize the connection between where Brian’s story begins to where it continues.  

Brian’s Choice is a story about forgiving and forgiveness, new beginnings and mercy, as well as grace, and love.  But the theme from the beginning is definitely choice.  Brian’s story begins with a choice that he made and continues with his consequent choices that result from that initial choice.  It is also a reminder that all of our choices are accompanied by consequences or blessings.  It is reflective of how much is involved in our day to day life choices as well as choices in our spiritual lives. As a window into Vannetta Chapman’s Plain and Simple Miracles Series, Brian’s Choice is indicative that these stories will definitely be about love, faith, family, and “the miracles that can happen when lives are lived in service to God and to one another.”
