An Amish Love, published by Thomas Nelson is a collection of three short novels that both delight the reader and inspire the heart. "A Marriage of the Heart" by Kelly Long: Rachel Yoder is a young Amish girl who has lived alone with her domineering father since her mother died when she was a child. Feeling the need to rebel against her Amish lifestyle, she forces a marriage with Joseph Lambert. Thinking because he has only recently returned to the faith that he'll understand her better. The story follows Rachel's journey to love and self discovery as she falls in love with her husband.
"What the Heart Sees" By Katheleen Fuller: Ellie Chupp is a young women who lost her best friend and was blinded in a tragic accident. She is learning to cope with her disability and even feels that she has moved on with her life only to have her world shaken when Christopher Bender returns to town. The former fiannce of her best friend, Ellie finds herself dealing with unresloved emotions and finding love.
"Healing Hearts: by Beth Wiseman: Levina Lapp and her husband Naaman are faced with an empty next after 30 years of marriage and children. Naaman, leaved Levina for a year and this story picks up with his return. Levina is faced with deciding if she can love and forgive a man who she cannot trust.
I found all three stories to be well written and easy to read. I love a good romance and it's nice to read something that exemplifies what falling in love, being married and staying married means to a women. This collection is wonderful because it covers all three stages in inspiring stories where the Amish faith is the backdrop for true love and commitment. It is refreshing to read fiction that not only entertains but also reminds you what God intends for you in your own life.
