Katie really had a hard life from the time she was born, she was in a fire that killed most of her family at a very young age and an older brother raised her, He was a very strict man and she did not know much love even though she grew up in an amish comunity where Love always abounds. She was ennamored by a young english man she met when he visited in the comunity when she was a teenager and she left with him thinking this...more

Katie's Redemption is a typical Amish-themed, Christian romance. It is very well-written with no glaring editorial issues. There are, however, a few "Amish" issues. Perhaps it is a difference between the Amish that the author is familiar with and the Amish that I am familiar with.
Despite that issue, I would definitely recommend this book. I really liked the character development of this book. Not only did the author develop the characters well as the story progressed, but she very adequately po...more

A quick read and a very sweet book. I don't normally read much Amish romance, but this was a nice, feel-good story. The conflict involving the heroine who left behind her Amish upbringing and then returned to her community as a single mother was believable, and this book was better written than the(admittedly few) other Amish books I've tried.
I have to say that this book was awesome. I just couldn't put it down. I read it in two sittings. I just kept me interested the whole time.
Katie has had such a hard life and finding where she fit in has been difficult for her, her whole life. She never felt like she truly belonged anywhere and never had the real meaning of a family. I felt so bad for her with everything that she had been through.

Patricia David"s Katie's Redemption was a nice read. Katie comes home to her Amish family only to find them gone. She meets an Amish family much nicer than hers and therein lies the tale.

This book was cute I guess, I read it because I thought it sounded interesting and different and it was but maybe this kind of story isn't my thing.
This was purely escape reading. I enjoyed it but learned nothing but I did not find it particularly entertaining.
The Love Inspired books are generally sweet and thoughtful and the Amish focus of this book was very enjoyable.
I loved this book! I love the redemption that all the Characters had to go through in order to learn and lesson. Great story and I can't wait until the next one comes out! I've not read any Amish books lately, but this one got me in the mood for more!
Love this Amish story. Heartwarming story about a girl finally finding a place to call home.
I'am a sucker for Love Inspired books... This was AWESOME. Had a great story line we all can relate to. Straying away from God and finding our way back. LOVED IT!
Very enjoyable Christian romance novel....tender, sweet, and innocent!
I was really impressed with the writing. Loved the story.

"What an excellent read, I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for the next book. It shows that the author Patricia Davids did a lot of research. It definitely shows through the Amish information, their language, their traditions, beliefs and clothing plus their very strong belief in following God's wishes."
