An Amish Love



The book, An Amish Love, is actually a triple compiliation of three novellas. A Marriage of the Heart by Kelly Long tells the story of Abigail who has been raised by her single Amish father. She tells a lie that results in her marriage to Joseph (who has a secret of his own). The story is of how they both grow to realize that they truly have fallen in love. A wonderful read - you will laugh and cry at the same time.

What the Heart Sees by Kathleen Fuller is the story of Ellie who is blind after a car accident five years ago. It is also the story of Chris Miller who left the Amish faith after he lost his fiance in the same accident. He comes back to the Amish community & meet Ellie. This story is one of forgiveness, love & learning to move forward after a tragedy.

Healing Hearts by Beth Wiseman is the story of Namaan Lapp who left his family over a year ago. He suddenly returns home & finds that he has to prove to his wife, Levina, and his children that he can be trusted. He really has no explanation about why he left. A stranger also follows him to his community & rumors begin about why this person is hunting him. You will see how he and his wife begin to find young love again & the story shows that it's important to nurture your marrage - even when you are overwhelmed by children and work.

Each story was an easy read and each story had it's own message for the reader's heart. Even if you have not read Amish fiction before, you will love the messages this book provides. A wonderful read !!

I was provided this book for free from Thomas Nelson so that I could review the material. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
