5/10/13 5 stars
After a slow buildup, this novel really takes you for a fun and somewhat suspenseful ride. I kept wondering if things would actually work out in the end and was so glad when they did. The novel is written very well and is now a favorite. I will definitely be seeking out the rest of the series. For an Amish novel, this one had a more complex plot than I'm used to seeing, and I really enjoyed the intricacy of this author's writing style.

I love all of Cindy Woodsmall's books, especially the Sisters of the Quilt series. Note that you should have a box of tissues handy because you WILL cry! Her Ada's House Series is good as well.
Another favorite of mine is Kelly Long. Sweet romances! Lilly's Wedding Quilt is my favorite, but all in that series are good. She has a book with three novellas called A Marriage of the Heart. That is good as well.
Tricia Goyer's Beside Still Waters and others in that series are good.
Shelley Shepard Gray's series The Caregiver, The Protector, and The Survivor are good.
Beverly Lewis' Abram's Daughters series.
I could probably go on forever, but I won't. If you need any more ideas, let me know!

Hi Natalie. I've been reluctant to read Jennifer Beckstrand's books because of her Mormon religion. Is there any hint of Mormon doctrine mixed in her novels that you know of?

[Melissa]

Starting A Plain Death by Amanda Flower. I'm going to Ohio Amish country and wanted to get in the mood.

[Natalie]

I am on page eighty, disc three, chapter eight in The Storekeeper's Daughter by Wanda E Brusntetter. It is decent.

J: I couldn't tell any flat out mentions of Mormon doctrine in her books. Don't be so scared or prejudiced.

Natalie, I'm so pleased you liked my books. I hope you found them wildly romantic. :) J, thanks for sharing your honest concerns. As an author, I hope to accurately portray the Amish perspective of Christianity and God through the eyes of my Amish characters. I would love for you to read one of my books and let me know how you think I did.

I am currently reading My Amish Childhood: A True Story of Faith, Family, and the Simple Life by Jerry S. Eicher. It is a fascinating book; I highly recommend it.

As the title suggests, it tells about Eicher's childhood growing up Amish in Honduras. I have a hard time putting it down.

I just finished Courting Cate by Leslie Gould. It was a refreshingly different read, even though I felt the ending was a little rushed. I would've waited to read it with everyone else next month, but I had to snatch it up from the library while it was there!

Now on to Falling to Pieces: A Quilt Shop Murder by Vannetta Chapman!

[Natalie]

I'm on about page 180 of the audio edition of The Storekeeper's Daughter. It is decent.

Hello, friends! Just received this fun review by Publishers Weekly of my debut novel (releasing July 1), THE OUTCAST: a modern retelling of The Scarlet Letter! "As Rachel makes an effort to rise above her circumstances and their complications, including her child's health issues, Petersheim's emotional story leaves readers intrigued by the purity of Rachel's strong will, resilience, and loyalty." What a fun way to start off the week! :) Hope you'll check the review out! http://publishersweekly.com/978-1-414...
