(Part
One of the Amish of Lancaster County serial.

Please note that while Shelfari calls this a series, it is actually a serial.

This novella-length section is the first third of the novel. If you want to read the entire story at once, please click on my author name and look for the complete megabook, titled The Amish of Lancaster County, or feel free to enjoy the installments one by one.)

 

Plain
Amish Hannah Stoltzfus of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has her hands full!
Her youngest daughter is about to go onrumspringa in New York City, her middle
daughter has to choose between the two men vying for her hand in marriage, and
her son brings home an English girl. What's a mother and wife to do? Turn to
God's guidance and her own belief in hope, trust, and love to get her family
through, of course. But will it be enough?



Read an excerpt below and find out what happens when the simple life gets
complicated.



Stephen gazed out into the night, and a few minutes passed before he spoke.
Then he squeezed her hand and smiled. "I'm so glad you came home, Annie.
God brought you back to me, to us. In fact, there's a question I've been
meaning to ask you for a while now, and now is the perfect time."



Annie gasped. She'd known this was coming, but she hadn't thought it would be
today . . . Her heart thudded in her chest, and her belly twisted nervously.
"You do?"



"Annie Stoltzfus, don't answer before you pray about it, but once you
have, will you be my wife?"



"Yes," Annie said, her heart glowing and her cheeks splitting into a
huge smile, "yes, of course I will!"



"You weren't supposed to answer until you prayed about it!" Stephen
said, laughing.



"Fine," Annie said. She bowed her head and put her hands together
before her face. Dear God, tell me, is
this the step I should be taking? Is Stephen the man for me?



A thought flashed in her head, a memory she'd thought long buried. Jacob, her
older brother Aaron's best friend. Before she'd gone on her rumspringa, Jacob had occasionally walked her home from meetings. Aaron was
always nearby, but somehow Jacob still found opportunities to tell Annie how
beautiful and smart and kind she was. Her sewing and quilting were the best
he'd ever seen, he whispered shyly, and maybe one day, she would make something
for him.



Annie had daydreamed about him, little fantasies in which they ran away
together and explored New York City. They left her flushed and curious. It was
a good feeling. So one afternoon, when the sun was bright and the fields in
full bloom, she pulled him under a tree and put her arms around him. It was
only meant to be a hug, but somehow their lips met, and neither pulled away.



If they hadn't heard rustling in the fields, thought Annie, who knew how far it
might have gone?



Shame filled her, and she ran away, ignoring Jacob's calls after her.



By feigning illness, she managed to avoid Jacob as much as possible for the two
months left before her rumspringa. Then she packed her bags for New York,
determined to put everything behind her and become an actress.



Annie's cheeks burned, remembering how foolish she'd been. But it was all in
the past now. Surely God thought so, too.



So why did she still feel a little nervous at the thought of marrying Stephen?



She looked at the man before her now, solid, stable, loyal. She couldn't do
better than Stephen, and surely God thought so, too.



"Yes," she told Stephen, beaming, "I'll marry you!"

I'm A Macho Macho Man

I have never had any interest in Romance Novels and until now, I've never read one. My choice in novels has been just about everything else from Sci Fi to Action Adventure.

I purchased this book because of the word "Amish." For many years I have been intrigued by the Amish and Quaker cultures (sub-cultures?) although I had never read much about either group.

The word Amish drew me in because I visited some friends in Ohio several years ago and and we visited some Amish areas in Ohio and across the state line in Pennsylvania.

We had breakfast at an Amish restaurant, visited an Amish Flea Market and then dined at an Amish restaurant for lunch. Everywhere we went we saw the Amish mode of transportation was really the horse and buggy and their dress code was like the pictures I had seen.

Being armed with these memories made this book come alive. I enjoyed the story because it gave more life to my memories with characters that came to life in my Kindle.

On a scale of 1 to 10 you will have to be the judge but on a scale of 1 to 5, I gave it a 5. Please note that I'm still a Macho, Macho Man!

I have been intrigued by Amish culture, and it was very satisfying and interesting to get a more intimate peek at the society and the reasons behind their choices. Even though it was heavily laden with Amish religious beliefs, I felt that the sincerity of the author to portray the Amish way of life was done with tenderness and honesty. In all honesty, the book made me think, and my respect for the Amish has increased appreciably. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this work and recommend it.

Little did I know this is part one of a three part serial which I'm nearly positive wasn't mentioned in the description when I downloaded it. I make it a point of not reading books where I have to read subsequent books to get the whole story. It was so frustrating to get to the end and have to buy the next installment! or in this case the next two installments. Fortunately, part 2 is currently free but I won't bother with part 3. I don't care how it ends at this point.

I read a good deal of Amish fiction and non-fiction and overlooking the fact it's in three parts, the story is mediocre at best.

UPDATE: The author very kindly let me know it was not properly noted this book was part of a serial. It was very nice of her to do that so I may check the other installments out after all.

I've read a fair amount of Amish fiction, and it's great to see such a talented new author in the genre! I'm really glad I gave this a read! There are three stories in this book, and all of them are compelling. I was especially enchanted by Miriam's Eumspringa atory. It's wonderful to see how Miriam deals with life and the possibility of love in the English world, while at the same time trying to be true to her history. The other two stories are also really engaging. I can't wait to see more work from Ms. Fields. She's a gem!
