Although I'm still not convinced I will become a fan of Amish books, since I had this one on my shelf for 2 years, I decided to give it a try. What a delightful and thought-provoking surprise. My main criticism is that the book is misnamed. THE AMISH MIDWIFE doesn't begin to capture the mystery, ...

But now that her brother has vanished and his wife is crying out for help, Anna knows she has no choice but to come out of hiding, go home, and f...
I enjoyed this story very much. It is a novel but shares muxch information a out both the Famish and Mennonite ways of life and faith. An engaging story line with mystery, Romans or the hope for it, sadness and disappointment, joy, faith, love and more. Especially interesting to me was the story ...
This was a good who did it that had me guessing for awhile. One thing that did had me confused at first that it went from "now" times to back to the 1700's and at first I didn't understand where the author was going but the more I got into the book the more I understood why she was having us go ...
One of the women in my on-line critique groups writes Amish romance, a category that in the past has not appealed to me, however her writing draws me in and I've learned to like the genre more than I thought. The Amish Bride did not take away from that new appreciation. I found a couple of gramma...
I was reluctant to start reading this book because it was "another Amish book." Seems like there are so many of those these days, but I bought the book on the recommendation of a friend. I "fell for" the protagonist -- liked her in a big way. Her past tugged at my heart and I could totally und...
I didn't mind that the story took place in the world of finance, a subject I'm not riveted by. I didn't even mind when it took a turn to Christian Historical Fiction. I minded when the authors referred to every character at least once as 'poor man or poor woman'. When the lead character always re...
I wanted to give this book four stars and one star. I settled on three.The mystery aspect of the book was terrific. The characters were interesting, and even though I would NOT pick up a book about investment companies (bleh!), the storyline/mystery/plot/business aspect was very captivating. The ...
I don't usually read mystery, but I got this book for $1.00 at my church bookstore. It's written by Mindy Starns Clark and is part of a series, although I didn't realize that until I finished reading it.I'll start with the pros: The mystery is solid and believable. The romance is clean and sweet....
