Amanda Weds a Good Man By Naomi King

The Amish community of Cedar Creek is celebrating a wedding! When Amanda Lambright, widowed with three daughters, marries Wyman Brubaker, a widower with five children, she envisions joining their two households into one big happy family. But it isn’t quite that easy....
Amanda Lambright loves Wyman Brubaker, and after four years as a single mother, she is grateful for his support and for this new chance at happiness as his wife. She’s confident that their children will get along just fine. But once Amanda’s clan moves into Wyman’s home, the tight quarters and Wyman’s reluctance to make changes to accommodate Amanda cause friction. The older kids are squabbling. The little ones are frequently in tears. Tiny Alice Ann isn’t speaking at all. Amanda and Wyman can’t find any privacy. And Amanda wonders if she’ll ever have a chance to pursue the pottery making that means so much to her.

Amanda believes that family lies at the center of any well-lived Amish life. Can she find the wisdom to guide the reluctant members of her new extended family toward the love that will bind them together?

You sure don't want to miss book One in One Big Happy Family series Amanda Weds a Good Man. Naomi King also known as  Charlotte Hubbard is the new voice in Amish fiction that you do not want to pass by. Her books are much better then Beverly Lewis'. You can not put her books down once  you start reading them.
This book touched my heart so much, I am still thinking about it long after I finished the last page.
I loved Amanda and felt this was such a fantastic story.
I gave this book 5 stars and I highly recommend it.
I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.
