Becoming Bea by Leslie Gould

4.0

Bea changes while helping out with the babies, she makes new friendships and a lot happens during the time that her Mamm and Molly are in Montana. Mollies plans before going to Montana didn’t include Bea and once she finds out she was both shocked and upset. Understandable so, but Bea treats Molly with grace during this time showing just how much she’s changed while they were gone.

I loved this last book in the series, it was wonderful to see how Bea changed as she relied on Gods love and became who he intended her to be. I found Bea relatable with her love of reading and poetry which both her and Ben share. Love is not without its trials too. I think it’s such a great idea of Leslies to retell Shakespeare in a plain way in this Amish series, while I’m not familiar with a lot of his work I loved the sonnet included in this book.

The ending is perfect and seemed less rushed than the previous books and summed everything up nicely. I’ve enjoyed this series, Leslies writing and look forward to reading another book or series by her.
