I have just recently started reading Amish stories. I have tried in the past and just never really could get into the details of the stories. However, I have read three Beth Wiseman Amish stories and have fallen in love with her writing. So when the opportunity came to read another one of her books, I jumped on it.
Beth Wiseman’s story is part of a 3-n-1 Novella collection called An Amish Love. Her story, “Healing Hearts” is about a man named Naaman who left his wife and has now come back home after almost being gone a year.
Kelly Long’s book in this series is called, “A Marriage Of The Heart”. It is about a young lady named Abigail who is looking for a way out of her home, from under her father’s care. Joseph, the man she had hoped would take her away, is looking for a way in the community.
Kathleen Fuller’s book is called, “What The Heart Sees”. In this story, Elle Chupp has lost her sight in an accident and has learned to move on, while Chris has come back to try to make amends for leaving the Amish Community.
I was so glad that I had the chance to read these books. The authors did not let you down on the story lines. Each story drew you in, to where you felt like you were living in the community with them.
These three couple were having to learn to trust, have faith and learn to forgive. Definitely lessons that everyone has had to deal with some time in their life.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read about the Amish and their way of life.
This book was provided to me by Booksneeze to review. The opinions I have written are my own.

I have been reading some mennonite stories and loving them. I bet this book was a joy to read! I love getting books from booksneeze. I don't remember seeing that one! might have to look for it at the library!
I loved reading Amish books, and 2 years ago we were able to go to Lancaster County, PA (we're from Scotland, so a trip to the USA was a dream come true!). We loved being in PA. In many ways my heart aches for the Amish, but in other ways, their lives are idyllic (from the outside). The farmland in PA, and the scenery in general was simply outstanding. We loved it.
I haven't read this author though, so you're putting me in the notion 😉 x
I saw this one the other night at Walmart and almost bought it, but told myself to wait. I've read all three of these authors and they're wonderful! I'll be looking forward to adding this one to my library.
