A Brighter Dawn Book Review
It has been a LONG time since I last read an Amish novel as intriguing as this one. It’s the first time I’ve ever read one that featured a dual timeline, and even more importantly, the first time I’ve read one that had any sort of historical references. A Brighter Dawn features three sisters in the present day who have just lost their parents to a car accident. Their grandmother believes that it would be best for them to visit their Lancaster, PA Amish relatives as there are things in their past that need to be explained. A long cross-country journey finds Rosene sharing Clare’s story of how she traveled…

Courage in the Storm Book Review
If you want deep, emotional Amish fiction, then this series is for you. I have thoroughly loved every single book so far, and just when I think one book in the series is my favorite, Laurel comes along and writes a new one and IT becomes my favorite! Courage in the Storm was enchanting from the very first page. Miriam had more things in common with a horse than you would expect. Both she and Breeze struggled mightily with fear to the point that they could not function at 100% in everyday life. Miriam had not left her family’s farms since the death of her parents, and Breeze’s trust in humans…

Amish Midwives Mini Book Review
I have come to love almost everything I’ve read by these authors over the years, so it was no surprise that a book featuring novellas by each of them would be a delight to read. In each story, an Amish midwife not only gets to help bring new life into the world, but she also gets to find love. All three are easy reads, but my favorite was the last one written by Kelly Long. **If you’re interested in having access to HUNDREDS of Christian fiction titles at your fingertips (including this one!), may I recommend Scribd? It’s a monthly subscription that gives you access to eBooks, audiobooks, magazines, podcasts,…
