3 Short Stories of Love in a Unique Amish Community
“In an area of Pennsylvania called The Big Valley, a uniquely blended Amish community thrives in which 3 distinct groups of Amish identify themselves by the colors of their buggy’s top—white, black, or yellow. Join New York Times Bestselling Author Wanda E. Brunstetter, her daughter-in-law, and granddaughter in experiencing the stories of three young women who search for faith and love within this special place. Deanna is a widow who sees her second chance of love slipping away. Rose Mary is at a point in life where she must choose the path of her faith and the right man to walk with her on it. Leila is burdened with family responsibilities and wonders when she will ever start a family of her own.”
My Review:
It was quite interesting reading this collection of stories that revolve around the three different groups of the Amish and the way those differences affect their interactions with each other. But even more than that, these are lovely stories about young Amish women who, despite the difficulties they face, consistently cling to their faith, family, and friends for help and support. Each story was well-written and held my interest. My favorite story in this collection was “Deanna’s Determination”. Deanna’s story of being a widow and taking care of her young son who had Down’s Syndrome was heart-touching.
The stories are sweet, clean, and highlight trusting in God for help in time of need. I read this book while I was traveling and loved having the shorter stories to read. The length of each story is perfect and I never felt that the endings were rushed. This is a truly enjoyable collection of Amish bride stories.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
