Miss Tina's Amish Book Reviews

CHRISTMAS AT PROMISE LODGE by Charlotte Hubbard BLURB Promise Lodge's first wedding is cause for celebration—but the bishop's narrow-minded wedding sermon doesn't sit well with the Bender sisters, especially widowed Mattie Schwartz. She believes marriage and family aren't the only important gifts God gives--even if she suspects her tender feelings for Preacher Amos Troyer run deeper than simple friendship. Amos hasn't given up hope that stubborn, spirited Mattie will change her mind about taking another husband, but when an accident threatens to change his life forever, he wonders if the Lord has sent him a message. He'll need faith, hope, and charity to find the right path—and a Christmas blessing to convince Mattie to walk it with him.

The nurse, a young blonde who wore loose burgundy pants and a matching shirt, gazed at her over the top of the high counter. Her badge said Melody. Mr. Troyer is still unconscious," she replied. "Dr. Townsend has ordered a series of tests to determine if she has brain or other internal injuries. Are you ready to return to Promise Lodge?   Well, what are you waiting for, grab your blanket a cup of tea, maybe a few tissues because you may need them as we travel back to Promise Lodge. When Amos and Mattie lost their spouses a few years back they wondered if they would find love again. They both remembered how they once use to be sweet on each other when they were younger and wonder now, if this could be a second chance for the both of them and if they could recapture the love they once s...

Excerpt He shook off the uneasy feeling he had, and walked up the path to the park, determined to enjoy his weekly ritual for the last time. It was a Monday afternoon, his one day every week when his sister, Belinda, was too preoccupied with her laundry chore to notice if he slipped away for a couple of hours just to breathe. Truth be told he'd walked an imaginary line on which he'd teere , ever since Simon and Miranda had gone away for their rumschpringe-without him. Wow! is the first word that came out of my mouth when I finished reading Katie Kings' His Amish Baby.  When Noah Byler made a choice not to leave his Amish community, he had never forgiven himself, for letting his best friend Simon and seeing his love Miranda go off into the English world. On his weekly ritual he always had hoped he would run into his best friend or even Miranda, but he never thought in his mind he would see what he saw that one Monday. He knew that something must be done and he had...
