Becoming Bea is probably my favorite out of the Courtshipsof Lancaster County series. I think this author has really found her voice. Don’t
get me wrong…all of the books have been really good but I just think each book
has been better than the last! This
series of books are all Amish renditions of Shakespeare—very loosely
based. They are written in first person
perspective which I usually don’t enjoy as much but this author does it really
well!
Note: I have deemed that this book is appropriate for teens.
While there’s a minor altercation between Bea and another character becomes a
bit violent with her, it is hardly described and the scene is cut short. As always, I urge parental discretion but in
my humble opinion, this book is suitable for teen girls ages thirteen and up.
“Ben and Bea have always irritated each other. But when their friends push them together, can they cease bickering long enough to fall in love?”
Beatrice Zook has a love for
W-O-R-D-S and apparently so does Ben Rupp. They’re almost perfect for one another—if they
could just drop the competitiveness! Bea and Ben gave courting a go once before
but they had a falling out and Bea is determined to never make the same mistake
twice.
In fact—Bea is determined to never
marry or have children. When she takes a job as a caregiver for premature
triplets, she begins to wonder if her resolve to never be a mother is what she
really wants for herself.
Just when things seem to be working out for Bea and Ben, an unfortunate case of mistaken identity causes mistrust between them. With the uncertainty of their future and with Molly (Bea’s older sister) urging the family to move out of state—it seems that things are officially over for Ben and Bea.

Will things work out or will there be
much ado about nothing?
What do you think?
Have you ever been hurt by a
misunderstanding and how did you overcome your differences and find a way to
trust one another?
What advice would you give to others
who are struggling with mistrust? Do you think it's even possible to trust someone that has hurt you in the past?
