Hopefully Ever After by Beth Wiseman

Hopefully Ever After is book #3 in the Amish Bookstore series. I have loved writing all three of these books, but I am especially excited for readers to dive into this last installment. If I had to summarize the storyline—aside from the sweet romance—it would be that we are not defined by our ancestry, our surroundings, history, or environment. We are each a child of God who can grow into the person we want to be. Sixteen-year-old Eden Hale doesn’t want to be defined by her circumstances. When she arrives in Montgomery Indiana to stay with her Amish cousins, where no one knows her checkered ba ..read more

Today we have an excerpt from The Promise of Easter (An Amish Holiday Novel Book 2) by Marta Perry. Enjoy! As Promise Glen prepares for the Easter season, one woman discovers that forgiveness is freedom—and maybe forever after. The sound of a horse and buggy approaching the barn made Simon glance toward the door. “That’ll be Anna, coming home from school. You know she’s the teacher at Orchard Hill now?” “Yah, Aunt Ella told me.” He shook his head. “Seems like little Anna can’t be old enough to be the teacher.” “Don’t let her hear you say that,” Simon said. “She’s a fine teacher, though I do s ..read more

Joshua Lapp: A Man After My Own Heart by Kelly Irvin

I admit it. As an author of more than 25 Amish romances, I have my own fangirl club for my favorite characters. I don’t talk about it much because I don’t want to hurt the other characters’ feelings. After all, should authors play favorites? But I’m making an exception for Every Good Gift’s Joshua Lapp. Joshua joins a select few men who stand out when I’m asked to name favorite characters from my novels. Joshua’s by no means perfect—totally the opposite. He’s a flawed man who’s stuck in the past. He doesn’t like to talk, he’s in danger of becoming a hermit, and he refuses to be baptized. He th ..read more

Anything But Plain: Review by Susan Scott Ferrell

Anything But Plain – Back to Stoney Ridge? I’ll take it! Do you ever get your hands on a novel and know, before you’ve ever read a single page, that it’s going to be a fantastic read? That’s what happened to me when Suzanne Woods Fisher’s latest release, Anything But Plain, arrived. I knew it would be wonderful and I was not disappointed! Fisher takes her readers back to the lovely locale of Stoney Ridge and digs deep into the inner workings of Lydie Stoltzfus, daughter of kind, caring, affable Bishop David Stoltzfus. At 19, Lydie is a constant screw-up who is easily distracted (and definitely ..read more

In the stifling heat of a Manhattan summer, a fresh-faced woman huddled in a garret, awaiting the opportunity that would change her life. Brushing aside unruly red curls, she peeked between fire escape bars, longing for more than a sliver of sky. She’d fled the tiny town of her youth, abandoning lush fields for towering skyscrapers. As days dragged on, she feared she was treading water, barely keeping afloat as a murky eddy of shattered hopes threatened to drag her under… If my journey to writing a romance novel was, indeed, a romance novel, it might begin something like that. The time was t ..read more

The Orchard: Review by Susan Scott Ferrell

The Orchard – Needed More Blooms It’s been ages since I’ve read a new release from Beverly Lewis. If you are unaware, Lewis is the “founding grandmother” to most for the Amish fiction genre. Her early writings are what lead me to a love of reading! Unfortunately, I did not have the same zeal when starting her latest release, The Orchard. While the last one-third of the book was quite interesting, the rest of the book felt laborious to the this reader. Set in the 1970s, The Orchard follows the lives of the Hostetler family and their careful tending to their vast orchard. Twins Ellie and Evan ha ..read more

Whenever I go to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I always look forward to visiting my favorite restaurants and stores; however, seeing my special Amish friend is always the highlight of my trip. Even more special, though, if my Amish friend is hosting a meal in her home, and I have a chance to enjoy her company, along with her delicious cooking. I met my Amish friend in 2007 when I was working on my very first Amish book, A Gift of Grace. I’m grateful that she and I have kept in touch and become very close. I’m looking forward to seeing her again this September. I remember the first time I ate supper ..read more

The Warmth of Sunshine is the second book in my Amish Blessings series, set in Yoder and Haven, Kansas. Yoder is the central focal point of these three Amish districts, and has a post office, but most of the Amish folks have Haven addresses. My hometown of Abilene, Kansas, is about an hour and half drive from this tiny community. Doing my research was fun because it gave me a great excuse to visit my family. My older sister drove my mother, sister number two, and myself south to Yoder. We ate lunch at the Carriage House Restaurant and visited its gift shop, as well as the local Amish furniture ..read more
