When Mercy Rains – Pour It On– Review by Susan Scott Ferrell I’m still new to Kim Vogel Sawyer’s writings, but so far I like what I see! I just finished reading When Mercy Rains (first in The Zimmerman Restoration Trilogy) and I feel full – like I just completed a very satisfying meal. When […]
A Reluctant Bride – Don’t be a Reluctant Reader! – Review by Susan Scott Ferrell I have to say, whenever I see that a new book has released by Kathleen Fuller, I have a sense of peace. Silly? Yes. True? Absolutely. I know that every story she tells will make me want to grab a […]
Lorie’s Heart – Where Does It Belong? – Review by Susan Scott Ferrell Amy Lillard was a new author to me when I read her first novel (Caroline’s Secret) in her Wells Landing series. I was skeptical, but was quickly won over. Lillard had teased her readers at the end of Book Two (Courting Emily) […]
Her Brother’s Keeper – A Story of Healing Review by Susan Ferrell It has been so long since I have seen a new release from Beth Wiseman (a full-length, Amish-genre release)! I actually caught my breath when I picked up her newest release, Her Brother’s Keeper, first in her Amish Secret Series. Wiseman fans (and Amish […]
I am most often found reading something within the Amish genre, except for a few outliers. Deanne Gist is one of those authors who has always captivated me with her storytelling.

Wanda Brunstetter has long been considered a front-runner in the Amish fiction genre. Her stories are woven with heart and faith. When I received a copy of her newest release, The Decision (first in her Prairie State Friends series), I was ready to dive into another Brunstetter winner. Unfortunately, I do not feel this novel […]
To break out into the Amish genre is a tremendous feat these days. The book market seems to have become inundated with what some are calling “bonnet books” and every person is now calling him or herself an author. It becomes difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Well, Amy Lillard is among the […]
“I’m just saying, you guys were laughing and talking and hobnobbing all coupley-like”. This is what I’m talking about. This is a Melissa-ism. It’s the way she talks. It’s the way she writes. Cute, endearing, smile-provoking Melissa-isms. Each book Melissa writes gets better and better. Her characters continue to become more developed and From the […]
When I read the synopsis for The Amish Clockmaker (Book Three in The Men of Lancaster County series by Mindy Starns Clark and Susan Meissner), I knew it was a book I wanted to read. After reading the first chapter, I was completely reeled in – hook, line, and sinker – and could scarcely put […]
