An Amish Gathering
I have a great love for good fiction. I am also a sap for a sentimental love story in which people with plain lives grow in their relationship with Christ. An Amish Gathering brings all of these together in its three novellas.
Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, and Barbara Cameron teamed together to write three more stories about Amish people in the same community.
In A Change of Heart Leah is a writer who has almost no homemaking skills. She cannot cook, clean, sew, or garden. In sh...more

Currently reading one of the three stories separately as an ebook thru the library under the title
A Change of Heart by Beth Wiseman - which is Leah's story in this collection book. The book blurb states "Leah would rather write than be a good fraa, but her spirit captures Aaron's heart."
The book is about choices in life and trying to follow your path and abilities even when you or your activities don't fit into your community and societal norms. Leah is hard pressed to do what is expected of a...more

This book is three stories in one and they all tie together in small ways without being the same story. I liked that each story was short because I didn't really want to get into a long drawn out tale of the same things over anc over. The last story touched me because it was one you don't normally see in a Amish book. It dealt with physical abuse of a child and how those scars never heal. We tend to put the Amish on a petal stool we want them to be better, they are religous but still people all...more
Actually my second Amish inspirational book! My Reader's Advisory group at work decided to read Amish fiction for our next meeting to discuss this popular genre. This book is actually three interconnected novellas written by three separate authors and is set in Lancaster County. All three stories are basically romance stories. Girl and boy like each other, but there is a conflict. Add to the conflict some miscommunication, gossip and stubbornness. WILL THEY EVER FIND TRUE LOVE? Enjoyable but ent...more
I loved this book. It has three stories in one. The charter's roll from one story to the next. Each story is written from a different author. The first stories is called, A change of heart by Beth Wiseman. It is about a young girl named Leah, who is learning all the housekeeping skills a young Amish girl should learn. But Leah wants only to sit alone with her tablet and pencil and write her stories.
The second story is called, A place of his own by Kathleen Fuller. It is about a young man named...more

I really enjoy a good Amish fiction novel. I have always been fascinated by the Plain life, and really respect them for their efforts in trying to live the Biblical injunction to be ‘in the world, but not of the world’. ‘An Amish Gathering’ is a collection of 3 novellas, detailing the lives of 3 young women in one Amish settlement, who are trying to do what God wants them to do, and how each of them comes to find love in her life. ‘A Change of Heart’ talks about Leah, who is admittedly not good...more
I enjoyed this book. It is a collection of 3 Amish novellas written by Beth Wiseman, Barbara Cameron, and Kathleen Fuller. All three stories are excellent. I would recommend this book to everyone.

3 sweet little love stories in one book, I really enjoyed it. I liked that the characters turned to God for help with their problems. I liked watching the relationship between the main characters of each story grow. these stories were just refreshing to me, they were modest and had a real feel. My friend from church, Becky, let me borrow this book and I am really glad she did :o). I enjoy reading new genres and will definitely try this one again :o)
3 books in one. The first story was ok, the second story was much better, and the third story was best. I was hoping to learn more about the Amish lifestyle, but not a lot of that was really folded into the stories (besides some of the language).
Fabulous book! I *loved* it! There are three stories written by three authors, but they all tie into each other. Very very good, if you are into Amish fiction.
This was three amish novellas, they were quickly read and slightly innertwined. They were predictable in most ways but interesting enough to continue reading quickly.
I really like Amish books. This book is divided into three stories. The second character's story is a bit slow but I enjoyed the first and last sections.
Really enjoyed this compilation of novelettes of the same characters. Best part: no sex scenes, yet the stories were very interesting.
Reading stories about the Amish makes me want to simplify my life. Not give up all modern conveniences, but find a quieter way of living.
I really loved this book and all of the stories were wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in reading Amish Fiction Novels.
What a heartwarming book. I loved the way the 3 stories interwined! I learned new amish words too. Great book
Very good reading - makes you realize the important things in this life. God, family & friends.
Enjoyed all three stories, but I think the first one was my favorite.
3 amish stories set in Lancaster County follow the genre typically.
A really great collection of novellas. I really like stories featuring the Amish.
Enjoyed cute stories: Audio books
My favorite story was the third one.
Excellent!
Excellent trilogy.
One of my favorite kinds of read. An Amish story, faith prevails, happy endings.
This is a coming-of-age book about two Amish sisters--one who struggles with wanting the "freedom" of the nonAmish life and the other who is seemingly obedient to her faith and family. It is a well-written, sweet story that really mirrors the both sides in each of us.
This was a set of three short stories about Amish living. While I found it too religious/goody-goody/wholesome for my tastes, I did enjoy it. This would be good for an afternoon outside relaxing when you want something easy and light.. definitely a nice change from the modern chic lit crap that is everywhere..
