Waiting for Belinda By June B. Belfie GIVEAWAY!


Belinda Glick, a lovely Amish girl from Ohio, decides to explore the other world during the time of her Rumspringa. In her desire to ‘just have fun’ she risks having her naiveté challenged by Dan, a young college student. Her parents are distraught over their daughter’s rebellious behavior and decide to send her to Lancaster County, PA, to stay with her Aunt Emma and Uncle Gabe until she learns to behave with more maturity. The Zook family takes her under their wing and she finds herself needed when one of the Zook sisters gives birth. While in Pennsylvania, Belinda discovers a new crowd, but will she fit in with the English ways? How firm are her moral values? Strong enough to keep her pure? A young man she befriends speaks to her of his love, but who will win over the heart of this challenging young woman?

June Belfie is addicted to writing. Rarely does a day go by without Ms. Belfie spending time on her exciting new career.

A music major in school, she later turned to oil painting and sold many at her Inn in the Poconos, where she and her husband Jim spent eleven exciting years creating a get-away haven for weary New Yorkers and Philadelphians, as well as travelers from all walks of life. Ms. Belfie recently published her memoir about inn-keeping called, "Inn Sane," available now as an ebook or in paper.

"All About Grace" is a novel about a young law student who finds herself in turmoil over a major decision, which turns her life upside down. This is a Christian novel based on major social issues.

Ms. Belfie also writes Amish and inspirational fiction. The three-book series called, "The Zook Sisters of Lancaster County" has been on Amazon's 100 best ebook list for several months.

June Belfie's latest book is a continuation of the heartfelt Amish stories of Lancaster County. It is called, "Waiting for Belinda," Book One of "The Zooks Revisited." Belinda lives in Ohio, but due to her wayward behavior, ends up living with a family member in Pennsylvania. She is torn between the Amish lifestyle and that of her English friends.

Five e-book novels are available now through Desert Breeze Publishers. "A Long Way to Go" is a popular Christian novel about the 1843 expedition across the Oregon Trail. In October of 2013 it will become available in paper also. In February of 2014, two other titles will be published in paper as well. "Moving On," and "A Special Blessing for Sara."

"The Landlord" and "The Inn Game" are light romantic reads, available in ebook form.

Raising five children (all productive members of society - so far!) she's now enjoying the fruits of her labor - in the form of eight grandkids!

"God's been so good to me. I want to share His impact on my life with others. Every book has a message - some obvious - some more subtle."


Well June has done it again penned what is one of the better Amish fiction books of this year. This is Book one of The Zook Family Revisited series.
If you have not read any of June's pervious books them you may want to start with this one.
You are sure to enjoy your trip to Lancaster Pennsylvania June writes in such a way that you think that you are right there in the pages of the book.

June writes as if she herself is Amish. Her characters are so real and easy to relate to. This is one of the Amish fiction books that you just don't want to put down.
You will want to read this Series in order so that you can keep up with who everyone is. I recommend the whole series.
June knows her Amish history, it is not a bunch of unrealistic writing like a whole lot of the Amish fiction writers these days.
The Zook Sisters of Lancaster County is not a series to be missed.
I gave this book 5 stars. I recommend this book as well as the whole series.

Ruth's Dilemma and Emma's Choice By June Belfie Giveaway!



Life is complicated for Ruth Zook when her older sister, Emma, stakes her claim on Jeremiah Fisher, the man Ruth secretly loves. Confused, Ruth decides to leave Lancaster County to stay with her Aunt Esther, who left the Amish community as a young woman and now teaches at the university in Philadelphia. Ruth is introduced to a handsome young lawyer, who finds her enchanting and wants to be part of her life. Will Ruth leave all that is familiar for an easier life -- one filled with modern conveniences and luxury, or will she return to her plain Amish life and settle for a marriage, perhaps one without love?

Who will win Emma’s heart?

June and her husband, Jim, divide their time between Pennsylvania and Titusville, Florida. “Winters are dreary in the north. We thrive on the wonderful sunshiny days Florida has to offer.

  
The absolutely exquisite  cover models on the cover  of both Amish books are Junes granddaughters. I love it when an author can incorporate her family on the cover of her work.
This is not an Amish author to miss. June really can write a great Amish story, and I must say it is not like most of the other Amish writers books with the same ole story line.
I really enjoyed The Zook Sisters of Lancaster County Series these two books were very hard to put down. High praise for a new Amish author I know but wait until you all read these two books, you will fall in love with Emma and Ruth for sure.
I am so ready for June's next Amish book!
I hate to give up my copies of these two books, but I want to share them with another Amish book lover.
I am giving away both books to two very lucky winners to enjoy. Just leave a comment and come back on Tuesday and see who the lucky winners were!

I was given copies of both books by the author for my honest review.
