An Amish Year






My Thoughts:
I actually started this book a bit backward. I was thumbing through it, looking at each story and I started reading A Patchwork Perfect first, so I read it, then I read the Christmas story and came back and started at the beginning to read the first two. A bit backward, but enjoyable. I enjoyed each story, but I think my favorite was the Christmas story. It was a story that showed how true love will sacrifice, to keep their loved ones safe.One thing I did notice was the publisher was kind enough to put when the stories had appeared in other works. That helped clear my confusion about a couple of them feeling familiar. I give this book 4 stars. An enjoyable way to spend an afternoon reading.

About the Book:
Spend a year in Amish country with four sweet romances.
Rooted in Love (previously published in An Amish Garden)
Rosemary Lantz is doing her best to run her family’s household. She excels at all her tasks except one: gardening. Saul Petersheim has pursued Rosemary for years, but Rosemary keeps turning him down. What Saul doesn’t know is that she has good reason—something no one can know—especially not him.
A Love for Irma Rose
The year is 1957, and young Irma Rose has a choice to make. Date the man who is “right” for her? Or give Jonas a chance, the wild and reckless suitor who refuses to take no for an answer? Irma Rose steps onto the path she believes God has planned for her, but when she loses her footing, she is forced to rethink her choice.
Patchwork Perfect
Eli Byler has been a widower for two years when he chooses to make a fresh start in Paradise, Pennsylvania. As Eli juggles the admiration of two women, he meets Miriam Fisher—the most unconventional Amish woman he’s ever met. She doesn’t fit the mold for what Eli is looking for, but it isn’t long before Eli realizes that Miriam is everything he wants. But Miriam has no plans to get married—ever. Will Eli be able to change her mind?
When Christmas Comes Again (previously published in An Amish Second Christmas)
Katherine knows the first Christmas without Elias will be hard for her and the children. But when a mysterious Englischer appears with photographs of her late husband, Katherine begins to wonder what other blessings Christmas could have in store.
