A Home for Lydia By Vannetta Chapman



A Home for Lydia, the second book in a new romantic series from popular author Vannetta Chapman, centers again on the Plain community of Pebble Creek and the kind, caring people there. As they face challenges to their community from the English world, they come together to reach out to their non-Amish neighbors while still preserving their cherished Plain ways.
Aaron Troyer simply wants to farm like his father and grandfather before him. But instead he finds himself overseeing the family's small group of guest cabins nestled along the banks of Pebble Creek. That also means he must work with the cabins' housekeeper, Lydia Fisher.
Lydia is the most outspoken Amish woman Aaron has ever met, and she has strong opinions about how the guest cabins are to be run. She also desperately needs this job. Though sparks fly between boss and employee at first, when the cabins are robbed, nothing is more important to Aaron than making sure Lydia is safe.
Together they work to make the vacation property profitable, but can they find out the identity of the culprit before more damage is done? And is Lydia's dream of a home of her own more than just a wish and a prayer?

Vannetta Chapman writes fiction full of GRACE. She has published over one hundred articles in Christian family magazines, receiving more than two dozen awards from Romance Writers of America chapter groups. She discovered her love for the Amish while researching her grandfather's birthplace of Albion, Pennsylvania. Her first novel, A Simple Amish Christmas, quickly became a bestseller. Chapman lives in the Texas hill country with her husband.

A Home for Lydia book two in the Pebble Creek Amish series is a must read. If you have not read book one in the series this one does read easy by itself.
I really enjoyed this book as always with all of Vannetta's wonderful literary works.
It has twists and a little romance to keep you turning the pages.
I just love reading about the Amish and their simple lives.
I recommend this book and I gave it 4 stars.
 
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher.

  15. I like reading about the Amish because they remind me of growing up - there was a good-size Amish community there and I always thought they were fascinating.

    In Christ,

  16. I would love to be the winner of this contest. The one thing that I love about the Amish is the closeness of the community and the willingness to help out one another.
