Click here to fill out the application to be on my launch team! Blurb for A Journey for Amy Amy Yoder feels pressure from her adoptive parents, friend Rose, and Bishop Elmer to join the Amish church. After all, she’s past the age when most make a commitment to be baptized and follow the Ordnung. Pregnant Rose fears dying from breast cancer at a young age. She has the same BRCA mutation her mother and grandmother had and they died from cancer. She tells Amy to take the baptism instructions in case something fatal happens to her. She explains that Amy can marry David and the baby will be raised in an Amish home. Amy doesn’t want to marry Rose’s husband, David, and wishes Rose would stop thinking about dying. When Jonas is born, Amy falls in love with the adorable baby and visits frequently. Rose suggests again that if anything happens to her, she wants Amy to be his mother, but only if she is Amish. A recent buggy accident killed the parents and their three children, so Rose worries that could happen to her and David. How can Amy consider taking the baptism instructions when she loves Joe Barrett, a Catholic man and a paramedic? She won’t be able to continue to see Joe if she decides to join the Amish church. Will Joe give up his Catholic faith to become Amish for her? Does she want him to leave his faith that is important to him? With mounting pressure to take the baptism instructions, Amy decides to move out of her parents’ home to an apartment. Maybe here she can decide what to do about her spiritual life and will feel free to invite Joe to her apartment without the disapproval of her Amish parents. As the feelings between Amy and Joe grow deeper, can they overcome their dissimilar faiths, or will their differences pull them apart? A Joyful Break, Judith's Place, Fleeting Hope and A Decision of Faith are on sale. Each book is only 99 cents for a week.  Samantha Price wrapped up her Amish Bonnet Sisters Series so well. She included all Wilma's children and gave them endings they all deserved to have. I fell in love with all the characters from the first book and enjoyed each book in the series. Samantha is a gifted storyteller and I look forward to reading book 1, "Outcast" from her "Shunned by the Amish Series."  5 stars! Amish Baby Snatched is the first book in The Bishop’s Daughters series by Diane Craver. This is a very interesting book. Quite different from most Amish fiction books that you read. The story Centers surround two young women. One Amish and one English. Both are pregnant. The English lady is only 18 and pregnant by her boyfriend who left her to backpack in Europe. The second young woman is Amish married, and also pregnant. A friendship develops When both girls meet at the doctors office for their visits. As you read this story, you see how Beth and Chloe become friends and watch as their lives intertwine between their Amish and English worlds. The characters are realistic and well developed. The plot is quite interesting and keeps you turning the pages. The ending is a total surprise and Ms. Craver keeps us wanting more. ~Reviewer, Carol Daniels Allen   I finished reading The Triplets’ Summer Adventure in one day by Laurel Blount. She delves deeply into the main characters, Nick Marshall and Cara Andrews so well that you feel you know them personally. When Nick takes the summer job as park ranger in Cedar Ridge and runs the camp, he doesn’t plan on staying home. He wants to return to his world travels and adventuresome jobs in the fall.
When Cara goes to camp to explain about her sons’ needs, Nick is busy trying to figure out what to serve for breakfast. His cook broke her leg and he needs to replace her as soon as possible. Cara offers to fix pancakes for the fifty campers. Nick and Cara had attended the same high school. After eating her delicious pancakes and seeing her skill in the kitchen, Nick hires her as a cook for the camp. Although she has a college job to teach math in the fall, cooking is her passion. From the beginning, he and Cara carefully consider their words to each other because of unresolved feelings they’d experienced in high school. A connection exists but both wonder how a relationship can work between them. I felt their pain that they knew they might not be right for each other. Yes, opposites attract but their differences might be too great to be together. Cara’s identical triplets are precious. Attending summer camp was a blessing for the boys with their father not interested in them or their mother. Laurel gives insight into the little boys’ different personalities. When they latch onto Nick, he continues to give them attention, so they can thrive at the summer camp. The scenes between Nick and the triplets are fun to read. Cara blossoms under Nick’s compliments on her appearance and cooking. I loved how a lizard even had a part in this sweet story. Cara doesn’t like lizards and she has one in the pantry. Nick removes the lizard to the outdoors. He knows the lizard will return and tells Cara he’ll check each morning for varmint checks. She enjoys him coming in the morning to get rid of spiders and the lizard. You feel Nick’s struggles as he realizes his foster mom Ruby is aging and might not always be around for him and his siblings. She’s been his rock for years and is a wonderful faith-filled character with common sense. He considers staying in Cedar Ridge to remain close to Ruby and to Cara and her sons. He likes helping people during his adventures and wonders if he can work at a routine type of job. Nick’s faith is part of who he is so prayer is important to him. The ending is touching and beautiful to read. Laurel Blount is a gifted storyteller and I highly recommend The Triplets’ Summer Adventure. To purchase this book, click here for Amazon! |
