A nice, easy, predictable romance... not to be underrated. There's something to be said for a book that doesn't completely shred your insides. Again this book suffers from the whole "miscommunication as a plot device" ailment that seems to be affecting romance authors everywhere. Fortunately ther...
I loved this book. I love learning about other cultures and this book gives a glimpse into the Amish community. The characters are engaging and the story pulls you into their world. I laughed and cried and felt some of Lilly's frustration. Lilly seems a little immature, but when thinking abou...
Another wonderful Amish book from Ms Wiseman.I really enjoy most of her books as they have enough romance, mystery, suspense and christianity without any of it being thrust at you too much.This book is about Carey, a journalist recovering from some trauma, who is forced on vacation and goes to st...
A continuation of the story of the people we met in the "daughters of the promise" novels as the author follows those that moved to Colorado. They arrive to find their houses in need of much repair and much to be done. They meet other families that have moved from Ohio and David becomes intere...
This was my favorite book of the whole series. Which was odd since (from my review of book #4) I hardly ever like consecutive books. I loved the characters. Saul was my favorite. I especially liked how the author was accurate in portraying that people are very different inside than they appear to...
This is the 4th book in the "Daughters of the Promise" series. I'm really starting to enjoy these characters, to look forward to 'what happens next'.Linda's story is a bit of a departure from the first 3 novels in the series. Those were mainly romances . . . Lillian, Carley, and Sadie finding the...
This book came to me in the mail MONTHS ago and I have just now had the opportunity to read it. I'm glad that it didn't get lost among all the other review books I have because it really is a treasure of a book! The three novellas in this book are each their own story, but the characters from eac...
*WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD*My favorite aspect of this story is how Wiseman provided closure for Katie Ann regarding her relationship with Ivan. Towards the end when I found out that the secret house was built for her and Jonas I was like "whoo hoo! #teamkatieann!". I was glad to see that in the end ...
This book had nothing to do with the Amish. Although I did enjoy listening to the three stories, but the last time I checked the Amish do not wear bright clothes, watch tv, listen to radios or have cell phones. Nor would you ever find a male and female, who are dating, alone holding hands and ki...
Currently reading one of the three stories separately as an ebook thru the library under the title A Change of Heart by Beth Wiseman - which is Leah's story in this collection book. The book blurb states "Leah would rather write than be a good fraa, but her spirit captures Aaron's heart." The boo...

Kade watched Monica twist toward the backseat, her head topped with short, blonde locks, like he remembered. He watched her lips moving, and his heart raced with long pent-up emotions bubbling to the surface. Anger. Resentment. Regret. Kade knew these sentiments stemmed from his own behavior, as ...
Ugh. Not only was she late for breakfast, but she was going to need a trip to town soon to charge her phone somewhere. It was still dark as she fumbled with the flashlight, then pulled a dark-blue dress over her head, followed by a black apron. She twisted her hair into a bun and put the prayer c...
Darlene walked into the den dressed in the royal-blue Versace gown she’d borrowed from Layla. Brad and all the kids were munching on popcorn and glued to the television. “Wow.” Brad sat taller, raising an eyebrow. “I think you better just stay home tonight. This little town isn’t ready for you, D...
It was around two o’clock, in between Vera’s morning and late-afternoon visits. She talked to Martha every day, but it had taken this long for her conversation with Vera to soak in enough to feel comfortable mentioning it to Martha. She hadn’t done what Vera suggested yet—forgive her mother and g...
