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 […]
