5 out of 5 stars. Reviewer: Sue1 Wonderful New Book! A Journey for Amy is a wonderful story of love, faith, and growth. It is the third book in Diane Craver’s Amish Adoption Series but can be read as a stand-alone novel. Amy, adopted by an Amish couple along with her sister shortly after birth, has grown up in the Amish tradition and faith. She has been permitted to pursue the necessary education to work as an EMT. She loves her job and her family. Her world changes drastically when she discovers she and her twin Jenna are part of a set of triplets. Their other sister, Phoebe, has grown up with their Englisch birth mother. With one foot in the Amish world and the other in the Englisch world, Amy struggles to determine where she belongs. She has not yet joined the Amish church as Jenna and their friends have but feels pressured to make a decision. Falling in love with her Englisch co-worker greatly complicates matters. Amy’s journey is a spiritual and emotional one. She must examine her heart, her faith, and her needs. Can she live in the Englisch world permanently and join Joe’s Catholic church or should she do what is expected of her, renounce Englisch ways, and join the Amish church she has attended all her life? I enjoyed making this trip with Amy and could truly feel the struggles she faced. Ms. Craver has done an excellent job of creating lovable, believable characters, developing a fast-paced plot, and describing a variety of settings. A Journey for Amy is a sweet romance peppered with inspiration and faith—faith in family, friends, and God. You will get caught up in the story right from the beginning and stay engrossed until the very end, so find a comfortable chair and enjoy! |

Books in other genres have also received high praises. Readers comment how they feel like they are right in the room with Diane's realistic characters.
Diane graduated from The Ohio State University. She met her husband while teaching at an orphanage, and they married three years later. It took her that long to convince Tom that she was the one for him! While raising their family in southwestern Ohio, Diane started writing nonfiction and was published. Later, she decided it would be a nice escape to write fiction. They were blessed with five daughters and one son. Two daughters were born with Down syndrome and live with them. Their other children also live close by in Ohio so that’s wonderful. Having several grandchildren is a lot of fun for the Craver family. Diane's favorite vacation is going to the beach with her family. She gives thanks for all her blessings, including being in remission from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma!
