Hi, Sarah. Welcome back to Destination Amish! Tell readers all about your new book, Newbury Acres. I understand it’s a satirical parody of Amish romance novels. (Such fun!) Can you elaborate? Satirical parody sounds so serious, doesn’t it??? But it’s not. Really. Newbury Acres is an adaptation of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, a classic romance […]
Written in Love – Please Forward! Ahh….It’s so lovely to get a new book written by Kathleen Fuller. It’s like a breath of fresh air! And so that is how I felt upon holding Fuller’s latest release, Written in Love, first in her Amish Letters series. Readers are in for a treat! Written in Love […]
An Uncommon Protector – Really Hits the Mark I’ve always been a fan of Shelley Shepard Gray’s writings in the Amish genre (big surprise there!) But when she branched out to do a series set in the post-Civil War era, I wondered if I would be drawn in. What a silly notion! An Uncommon Protector, […]
An Amish Home – Four Authors plus Four Novellas equals Literary Magic! Okay. So I’m just going to list the authors: Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston, Ruth Reid, and Kathleen Fuller. If you are familiar with the Amish genre, this should be enough of a review for you to go ahead and get your copy of […]
Titus Returns – The Prodigal With a Twist! Amy Lillard takes her readers back to Wells Landing once gain with her latest release, Titus Returns. From the moment I read a sneak peek of this novel from More Than a Promise, I knew it was going to be outstanding. I was NOT disappointed! Titus Lambert […]
The Matchmakers Bride Collection – Romance on Tilt! With such an alluring title and cover, I could hardly resist reading this bevy of romance tales. They may not be Amish stories (my usual go-to), but they were still a delight to read. Here’s a little synopsis, and my take, on each of the novellas… The […]
Amish Weddings – A Fond Farewell to Juneberry Lane It’s hard to believe, but the end has come to Leslie Gould’s Neighbors of Lancaster County series. But don’t think for a moment that the final novel, Amish Weddings, goes out with a whimper. Prepare yourself to be drawn in by the first few pages and […]
The Newcomer – Friend or Foe? After Suzanne Woods Fisher’s release of Anna’s Crossing, her fans clamored for more. True, it was in the Amish genre (ALWAYS a good choice), but Fisher discovered a NEW storyline – which is becoming rare these days. Needless to say, when the sequel to Anna’s Crossing, The Newcomer, came […]
Fatal Frost – A Chilling Thriller Well, Nancy Mehl has gone and done it now! I’ve been in my happy place with her previous writings – what I call Mehl Mennonite Mysteries. If you haven’t read them (the Road to Kingdom and Finding Sanctuary series), then by all means get crack-a-lackin’! That being said, I’ve […]
My daughter got married a few months ago. She’d known her now-husband for a few years, but because of his work schedule and my travel schedule, we hadn’t had a Thanksgiving together until this year. She made us all pose for a selfie, which she posted with the comment, “First Thanksgiving with the family.” My […]
