I'm normally not too thrilled with the Love Inspired series. They're somewhat preachy and a little sappy. But I do have to say that I liked this one. Maybe because I considered it more of an Amish romance, which is a genre I do enjoy.
Miriam has been running the farm since her dad died. She has plenty of sisters, but in the Amish world, the women mainly do the indoor chores while the fields and barns are left to the men. But she feels more at home there. Luckily she's pretty enough that she catch...more

This is the second book in the Hannah's Daughters series, telling the story of Miriam, one of 6 daughters in an Amish family.
For years she always thought she'd marry Charley Byler, a steady, dependable man who grew up on a neighboring farm, who was also a life long friend. But then local veterinarian John Hartman catches her eye. He's handsome and charming, and loves animals as much as Miriam does, but he is Mennonite, not Amish. Miriam has a reputation as the "wild" Yoder sister, but she is sti...more

This is the first time I have read books by this author. I was intrigued because all of Miller's books take place near Dover, Delaware. I have read many Amish genre but this was very refreshing.
Miriam is Hannah Yoder's wild daughter. She is spirited and has been handling the farm since the death of her
father. She develops an interest in a Mennonite Vet, John Hartman. Now she is wondering if she could leave the Amish faith. Charley, who is Amish, wants to marry Miriam but Miriam has only consider...more

Just as great as the first in the series (Courting Ruth). I enjoyed this one as well.
Miriam is the wild child of widow Hannah Yoder. Well, she's wild for an Amish girl anyway. She would much rather be outside doing the chores than inside cooking and cleaning. The local veterinarian is a young, good-looking Mennonite man who shares her love of animals. She forms a friendship with him that is frowned upon by the Amish community because she is of marrying age. Then there's her friend Charley. He's...more

This is the second book about Hannah's Daughters. I haven't read the first book but I was still able to follow the book without having read book one. I love Miriam, I love how she is different, she wants to work outside and with animals. It is interesting seeing how Miriam is attracted to John who is not Amish and also Charley who she sees as a friend. Watching the way the family interact was fun too especially their younger sister who has down syndrome. She has a habit of saying what is happeni...more
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I normally don't read series out of sequence but this book can and does stand on it's own. Miriam is beautifully strong yet Amish, she knows that she has to wait on God to help her make the best choice and in the end she does. The character of Wilmer made me realize that even among the Amish there are abusers. I had never considered that before, although it is not the typical picture of the Amish I really hope that there will be a follow up on that story line.

Miriam is a young Amish woman with a choice - court and marry Charley who she grew up with and everyone excepts her to marry, or court and marry John, a Mennonite vet who she's attracted to. The plot has been done, but what I liked in this case was that until Miriam announced her decision, I had no idea who she was going to pick. It wasn't obvious at all.
Miriam is one of 7 sisters. Everyone thinks she will marry dependable, fun Charley - a guy who she has grown up with, been best friends with and is almost like a brother. Could he be "the one". Or what about cute, exciting and "forbidden" John, the Mennonite. Travel with Miriam as she searches her heart what whom she truely loves.
Miriam was the daughter who loved the animals, not work in the tradional way in the home. She has been best friends with Charley since they were children, but should she continue with that path or explore the possibilities with John, a handsome Minnonite vet? How strong is her Amish ties?

Another winner for Emma Miller. A great followup to the 1st book in the Hannah's Daughter's Series. This one is about Miriam and her two suitors. Recommend it to anyone who likes Amish Romance novels with happy endings. Well written and the characters are very believable.
Just what you'd expect from a christian fiction paperback-safe and predictable. Astute readers will no doubt have the story figured out looking at the title. The book did offer an interesting look into a different way of life.
Wonderful! I read this in one evening. I couldn't decide which of the two young men Miriam would be happiest with. Again, I loved the Yoder family and fell in love with their lifestyle.
This is wel ldone. The characters are the same from t he first book. The setting not being in Lancaster County is nice.
Really good book....I like that it kept me guessing until the very end.
A sweet story and I learned a little more about the Old Order Amish.
