Based on a true story, Beside Still Waters is spectacular Amish fiction. Marianna is born directly after a buggy/semi accident that takes the life of two of her sisters. Sisters that she is also named after. In her mind, she has never lived up to the expectations of her two sisters, and so she strives for the best in everything she does.

She also finds herself really liking Aaron Zook, who also aims to make Marianna his wife. But Marianna's father decides to move the family to Montana. Even though Marianna doesn't want to go and give up her chance with Aaron, and she doesn't have to go, as she is nineteen, she does anyway. She has several younger siblings that her mom will need help with. Even though her brother has decided to live an English life, Marianna has always known she would join the church.

Her journey to Montana and what transpires helps Marianna with her journey of God's love and peacefulness within her heart. A captivating read with likable and compelling characters, Beside Still Waters is a fabulous read!
