Book Review of A Path Less Traveled

A Path Less Traveled
maydayzee avatar reviewed on + 754 more book reviews


This is the second book in the Miller's Creek series, which is a series about the people in a small Texas town. I would recommend reading Texas Roads before reading this second book to get to know the secondary characters, some of which were the primary characters in the first book.

A Path Less Traveled is a romance novel built around Andy Tyler and Trish James. I really like Andy, a kind and caring person, who is also a successful lawyer. As a widow with a young child, Trish has some major trust issues, especially in trusting God. She is very confused and is struggling to make a new life for herself and her son, Bo, in the aftermath of her husband's death. There are many things to admire about Trish, as she tries desperately to solve myriad problems. On the other hand, I would have liked to have seen more signs of her spiritual growth along the way.

This is an entertaining story, but also one of learning to rely on God and His provision, rather than relying only on ourselves. I would have enjoyed the story more, if it hadn't ended so abruptly. The ending, although satisfactory, seems rushed and somewhat contrived.

I recommend this book to those who enjoy small town fiction and family saga romance. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Miller's Creek series.
