The Promise of an Angel: by Ruth Reid

I give this story five stars.  What an amazing story.  The title of the story sort of gives the main plot away.  Judith Fischer is responsible for her young brother when tragic strikes.  Upon this devastation she notices an Angel at her brother’s side.  When she confronts her friends, family, and community about this, they act as if she sinned.  The only person who believes her is someone who soon captures her heart.

What a great story, I loved how Ruth Reid used an angel in the story.  It brought the book to life, with a warming twist.  Not all Amish books come across as different, but this book does.  The inspiration and faith continues even when everyone seems to be against Judith.  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Amish love stories.

An Amish Love


 By Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, and Kelly Long

Overall I really enjoyed this book.  I don’t read much so, this book hit the spot for me.  It’s an easy book to read and understand.  I also love how the book read from both of the characters eyes.  The first book begins with a young couple that get married, and realize its not a walk in the park.  They each have to learn how to live with each other. 

The second story was great about a young Amish lady who in the end is blind.  She wonders if anyone would love such a person.  This book is just filled with much anticipation that it kept me on the edge.

The third story is about a married couple where the husband left for a year.  When he finally returns home, it brings up lots of emotions.  Can they renew there love for each other?
