Being from an area that is rich with Amish culture, I've always been fascinated with their way of living. I was fortunate enough to discover that there are many authors who research tirelessly and write magnificent books based on the Amish lifestyle, but I'm afraid this isn't one of those. I didn't find the plot very believable. The dialogue was very stiff and would have benefited greatly if the author had used some Pennsylvania Dutch words to liven things up a bit.

Abigail is a young Amish woman, with a plain, simple life laid out for her. As the oldest of three daughters, her father intends for her to inherit the family quilting shop, He also has her husband all picked out for her.

Abigail doesn't care for the man, though, and also doesn't love quilting the way the other women in her family do. She also wants to see more of the world than their little town. Surely it's possible to live a Godly life elsewhere? Even in Philadelphia?

Despite her father's opposition, she goes to Philadelphia, finds an apartment, a job, and a church, and begins to explore living a Godly life without the restrictions of Amish life.

This is a very sweet romance, with a young woman finding her own path and her own happiness, without losing her own faith and values.

I receved a free copy of this audiobook from the author, and am reviewing it voluntarily.

I was given a free copy of this Audiobook In exchange for an honest review . I think this book shows a good glimpse into some of the decisions the Amish must face. What will a young girl do, stay and work in the family quilt shop and marry an Amish boy or go to the city and marry someone not of the faith. I really like this quote from the book. The bible words never change but how They change you is endless depending on where you are in your life different versus grab you when you need them the most. When in doubt turn to the bible.

Heavenly Blessing (Audible Audio), my twenty-first read from Christian author Becca Fisher. Another enjoyable, 44-minute short read/listen. I have to say that the author packs a lot into the pages of this Amish novelette. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. Stephanie Richardson’s narration adds to the short book's enjoyment. I'll be reading more from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Awesome

I always love reading about Amish living. They happened to be my favorite stories to read. I would recommend them to anyone.

Most girls don’t try the outside life before they join the church, when an outside man comes, she wonders who he was, and his way of life. What will Abigail chose, a good look at the Amish.

[Linda Carroll-Bradd]

Too scant on emotional details for my preference.

[Lynda]

I dislike writing negative reviews. Becca Fisher has published several Amish-labeled novels. However, be aware that while the words Amish, rumspringa (there are several spellings), horses & buggies are sprinkled here and there, it appears her research has ended there. Go ahead. Read this book. Then read a Beverly Lewis Amish story. You'll quickly see that Ms. Fisher uses the Amish as a setting with little knowledge about their ways.

Some nouns were misused in the book as well as typos. But relatively few however, a good editor should have found 99% of those. Typos DO leak through.

I tried the second book in this "series" as well.

This was a very short story of 27 pages, it's supposed to be an Amish romance,but to me,I had a hard time reading it as Amish. All of the characters conversations were in plain English,and in English expressions.

[Deliasue]

Good story line but a note to Becca Fisher, please have someone proof read your books a little closer I found a lot of spelling errors in this book. I also found spelling errors in the Heavenly Blessing too.

[Vicki Krivak]

This was a cute little novella. A very quick read. I enjoyed it.

[Renee Martin]

Amish / Christians shouldn't take God's name in vain.

[Crystal]

this book was really a great book, this girl fell in love with someone from the outside world... the only thing I did not like was the ending seemed to just cut off..

[Nancy]

A very good Amish story. The first in a series.

[Reva Watson]
