An Amish Singing: Four Stories | Amy Clipston

so-so

Cute little teen-type of clean romance stories. Stories were so similar that I read the 1st 2, then bailed. It was odd to have a glossary to understand the Amish words & phrases used in the stories; however, it probably added to the authenticity of the text? Enjoyed.

This was a nice Amish story. It's been a while since I've last read one. There was a touch of suspense to this, while still having a focus on a romance. A lot of time was covered in the book, so it felt like some things were a little rushed. But I really enjoyed the story and finished it within a day.

Plain And Fancy | Wanda E. Brunstetter

pick

The third book in the 'Brides of Lancaster County' by Wanda E. Brunstetter. Plain and Fancy was well written. Laura is from Minnesota and goes to Designing School in Pennsylvania. She meets Eli Holder, who is Amish. Eli has not joined church, yet, bc he hasn't meet the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. That doesn't matter to his mother. She thinks Pauline is the perfect wife for Eli After Eli and Laura meet, they try ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read stay away from each other, but it doesn't work. Soon Laura decides to become Amish, so her and Eli can marry.

There was great character development with Laura and Eli. She faced a lot of changes to her way of life. One thing I didn't like was that she complained all the time. I was thinking to myself, you were the one who chose to become Amish. Quit taking it out on others and blaming them for your decision.

Can she learn to live with her decision? What secret is she hiding from Eli? If you like Christian Fiction and have never read Brunstetter, you really need to give her a try. I think you will enjoy her books. I know I do.

😊 Happy Reading 😊
