Charlotte Hubbard, Kelly Long and Jennifer Beckstrand are three authors that are relatively new to the Amish genre, yet they are quickly becoming mainstays and their works a must-read. An Amish Christmas Quilt, a collection of Christmas novellas is a prime example of their impeccable writing. And as any good writer would do, each has […]
I was slow to warm up to Jennifer Beckstrand’s Huckleberry Hill series. Beckstrand was a new author to me when I read Book One (Huckleberry Hill), I was amused, but not sold. When Huckleberry Summer came out I was cautious, but found there was no need to be. I was now invested in the characters […]
I am surprised as the next that I am writing up another review for one of Amanda Flower’s juvenile fiction novels. But after reading her first title in the Andi Boggs novels, Andi Unexpected, I was pleasantly surprised…and found myself looking forward to Book Two in the series. Andi Under Pressure has now been consumed. […]
From the author of the USA Today bestseller The Girl Who Came Home comes an unforgettable historical novel that tells the story of two little sisters – orphaned flower sellers – and the young woman who will be transformed by their experiences. ‘For Little Sister … I will never stop looking for you.’ 1876. Among the filth and depravity of Covent […]
When I received the uncorrected proof of Amy Lillard’s first book in her Wells Landing series, Caroline’s Secret, I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was the first time I has read anything by Lillard and so I was a bit hesitant. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised. Caroline’s Secret centers around the life of Caroline […]
When I received my copy of Lynette Sowell’s A Season for Change (first in her Seasons in Pinecraft series), I was instantly intrigued. The front cover has a photo of an Amish man and two children at the beach…and another photo of a woman and two big tops (as in, from the circus.) Needless to […]
After reading the first book in Jennifer Beckstrand’s The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series (Huckleberry Hill), I was prepared to read another good story. Her second in the series, Huckleberry Summer does not disappoint. Beckstrand introduces readers to some intriguing Amish characters you won’t find in most Amish novels. There is Lily Eicher, an apprehensive […]
I was intrigued to receive a promotional copy of Huckleberry Hill, the first in The Matchmaker’s of Huckleberry Hill series by Jennifer Beckstrand. It is the first novel I’ve read by Beckstrand, but being an amishaholic, I was eager to explore a new author in this genre. Huckleberry Hill tells the story of Lia Shetler, […]
As a self-proclaimed “Amishaholic,” I was intrigued to get a copy of Plain Faith. I have read an obscene amount of Amish fiction titles, as well as quite a few non-fiction works about the Amish (by Kraybill, Nolt, Eicher, Wagler.) But this one looked different. Written by an ex-Amish couple, Irene and Ora Jay Eash, […]
When a new release from Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, Tricia Goyer or Vannetta Chapman becomes available in the Amish genre, the readers go wild. What happens when a compilation of four novellas, including works from ALL of these authors hits the market? It’s pure mayhem! Such was the case for me when An Amish Garden […]
