Love’s Abundant Harvest – A Bountiful Read! – Review by Susan Scott Ferrell

After getting my first taste of Beth Shriver’s writings with Rumspringa’s Hope (Book One in her Spirit of the Amish series), I was drooling with anticipation for the next book in the series to arrive. When Love’s Abundant Harvest arrived, I couldn’t start it soon enough. Have no fear, readers: Love’s Abundant Harvest is yet another winner!

Love’s Abundant Harvest tells the story of Lucy Wagner, a pregnant Amish woman imprisoned by her authoritarian husband, Sam. Lucy longs for more than the day-to-day grind on their farm, as well as the overwhelming harshness of Sam. Sam seems to care for little else than himself. When a fire claims the life of Sam, as well as their farm, Lucy goes to stay with her grandmother. Along the way, she meets mild-mannered Manny – the antithesis of Sam. Manny longs to help Lucy, but Lucy struggles with the demons of her past relationships.

Love’s Abundant Harvest was a gripping read. Shriver had me wanting to jump into the pages and smack Sam! Although a couple of the characters from Book One are brought into this one, it does not detract from the storyline. Therefore, Love’s Abundant Harvest can easily be read as a stand-alone. There were a couple of moments in the last 30 pages or so, where I felt the pace could have moved a bit faster, but overall, it was a very solid read. With Book Two now out of the way, the waiting begins again…Book Three, The Choice, releases in the Fall of 2015!
