Book Description

September 14, 2009
Geoff is in the city, living the gay life to the hilt, when his father's death convinces him to return to the family farm. Discovering a young Amish man asleep in his barn, Geoff learns that Eli is spending a year away from the community before accepting baptism into the church. Despite their mutual attraction, Geoff is determined not to become involved with him, but Eli has discovered that Geoff shares his feelings and begins to court him, neatly capturing first Geoff's attention and then his heart. Their budding relationship is threatened by closed-minded, gossipy relatives and the society at large, a whole new world to Eli, and he must decide whether to return to the community, his family, and the world and future he knows or to stay with Geoff and have faith in the power of love.

5.0 out of 5 stars "No Shame" in reading this book, January 5, 2010
By 
Ed (claremont, NH United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love Means No Shame (Paperback)
Andrew Grey has written a beautiful story about two men brought together in an unlikely way. When he learns of his father's death, Geoff returns home to the family farm leaving behind his crazy life in the city. He begins to realize that he doesn't want to return to his old ways; and settles into running the farm. He soon discovers Eli, an Amish man; sleeping in his barn. Thus begins a most wonderful and intriguing relationship. Geoff; who has never known real love, finds himself falling hopelessly for Eli. Eli feels the same way toward Geoff, but fights with his insecurities and Amish lifestyle teachings. He is torn between his developing feelings for Geoff, and his fear of ruining his family's reputation in their community. The story is wonderfully told; and the characters are incredibly real. I found myself sitting for hours, turning page after page; not wanting it to end. There were times I found myself laughing out loud, only to be surprised at the fact I was actually brought to tears by certain parts of the book.
I have to confess that I bought this book on a whim. I was not familiar with Grey's writing however, I'm now hooked. Will certainly read his other books.
"No Shame" is a great effort; and a story that stays with you for days/weeks afterward.

5.0 out of 5 stars Country Boy Comes Home to Find Love, December 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Love Means No Shame (Paperback)
I orginally bought this book on the recommendation of Amazon, but I found that I liked it. I have some doubts as to some the facts it presents given my experiences with the Plain Folk.

But the idea that a country boy has to come back home to find his right place in the world struck a nice note.

I liked the book so much that I went on to buy its prequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching story about finding your soulmate, September 16, 2009
This review is from: Love Means No Shame (Paperback)
This story touched me deeply because the two main characters are such an unlikely match at first and have so many obstacles to overcome. The descriptions of their feelings and motivations is excellent and the story captivated me from the very first page. The setting and detail given adds lots of color and a rich background.

Geoff struggles with his attraction but gives in when Eli starts courting him. Eli is very clear about his feelings for Geoff but struggles with the repercussions his family might face in the Amish community if word of his relationship with Geoff ever got back to them.

I was moved to tears at several points because I was so emotionally involved with the characters and their inner conflicts. This is a wonderful story that I recommend wholeheartedly.
