I got a BookBub Featured Deal for the third book, Priscilla's Escape in The Bishop's Daughters Series! It is hard to get this promotion from BookBubl! I hope I'll have new readers to grab Priscilla's Escape, then will fall in love with the King family and want to read more about this family. Here is a blurb: When faith and freedom collide, mistakes made in the past may decide the future. Twenty-year-old Priscilla King is unsure about joining the Amish Church or using her rumspringa freedom to paint beach landscapes. She's been offered a two-month-long nanny position in Siesta Key, Florida by an author on a tight writing deadline. The opportunities presented are more than a little tempting for Priscilla, even if it means disappointing her parents and leaving her new boyfriend. Stephen Hertzler grew up in an Amish family, but, like Priscilla, he's undecided about joining the church. He loves Priscilla and wants to marry her, though he knows she's not ready to make a decision about anything other than her summer plans. His biggest worry is that she'll meet someone else in Florida and forget him. Priscilla's father Amos, bishop of the church, has a secret. As a child, he'd also loved painting pictures. But, because of his Amish district, painting was frowned upon and he was forced to do it in hiding. His father found out about his art and, in fury, he burned the paintings. When he was older, Amos moved to Fields Corner, where he would have been allowed to paint. Traumatized, he'd instead buried his passion for art in order to focus on being a good bishop for the community. When Priscilla's parents sabotage her part-time job at a local fabric store to dissuade her from following a "worldly lifestyle" in taking the nanny position in Florida, Priscilla is distraught. She knows she would regret not taking this chance. Leaving a note, she sneaks out in disobedience of her parents' wishes. Stolen paintings and Mitch, a Jewish New Yorker, are unexpected complications for Priscilla. Free to paint, dreams she's never fully envisioned before seem within reach…but at what price?  I am thrilled to have received this 5-star review from Kristina Anderson! "Maggie’s May Song by Diane Craver is a delightful, heartwarming story about relationships, second chances, and the courage it takes to open one’s heart. The story is beautifully written with steady pacing that keeps the pages turning. Maggie and Simon are multifaceted, realistic, and easy to root for, and the true-to-life situations they face make their journey especially engaging. For them to build a happy future together, they must find a way to overcome fear, misunderstandings, and past hurts. This uplifting Amish romance is filled with forgiveness, trust, family, love, and faith. The descriptions of the baked goods are so vivid they will have your mouth watering. Maggie’s May Song is the fifth book in An Amish Romance Birthday series, but it can easily be enjoyed as a standalone. Engaging, sweet, and full of warmth, Maggie’s May Song is a charming Amish story that will leave readers smiling."  Buy here for the ebook! It is in Kindle Unlimited. There is also a paperback version and a large print version!

Fantastic News! Maggie's May Song is now available in large print for $19.99. Several of my readers prefer to read their paperback books in larger text! Kindles are nice when you want to change the font in a book! When my eyes get tired, I change the font to a larger one in my Kindle books. I know some readers do not like to read books from a Kindle and enjoy holding a book in their hands. Now readers have 3 choices. By the way, I have audiobooks in my Dreams of Plain Daughters Series! I personally never listen to audiobooks.  Click here to purchase the large print!
 Congratulations to Elena and Lila! Our granddaughters placed 1st in the discus yesterday at the track meet. I didn't get to go so I hope I can go next week to see them throw. Happy Mother's Day, Everyone! I received bouquets of flowers yesterday from my son and daughter-in-law. Daughter, Emily, is having brunch delivered to us. I'm getting hungry!

REVIEW SNIPPETS for Maggie's book "Carve out some reading time in your day because you won’t want to put the book down once you begin. Thank you, Diane Craver for writing such an uplifting and entertaining story." Reviewed by Susan Lantz Simpson, a bestselling author! "Maggie and Simon made me smile and giggle about the middle of the book though. I was wondering when it would happen. I found myself praying they'd figure it out lol." Reviewed by reader, Lori Parrish "I connected with this book as it sheds light on the relationship between family members and in particular, siblings. Although, we love our siblings at times we find it difficult to understand and deal with them on a personal level, It’s also difficult at times to discern the why behind motives when our own feeling and thoughts get involved and cloud our vision. Its then that it’s best to trust in our faith and those who we trust to part the clouds so we can see clearly and who better than out family, community, and of course pray." Reviewed by Cherese Akhavein "This is Maggie’s and Simon’s love story. They are in love and plan to marry, but out and jealousy enter the picture." Reviewed by Carol Allen "Maggie was a jewel but faced hurts with her sister Elizabeth and future mother-in-law and even close friends that wanted forgiveness for their actions to try to tear Maggie away from Simon. I admired how Diane Craver penned this story with realistic but dimensional characters and situations to overcome with so many obstacles and bumps in Maggie’s and Simon’s journey of life. She beautifully interweaves faith, finding forgiveness is always in order and secrets are best to be shared to totally hush gossip that only create more uncertainty for others. There’s a lot of family dynamics in this story that is true to life and one never knows what the future may bring until one’s heart is truly where it needs to be through their trust in God and faith."
