Amish Promises By Leslie Gould

Journey Down a Quiet Lane in Lancaster County Where Love and Heartache and Friendship and Healing Meet
When Joel and Shani Beck arrive at their new home, they're looking for peace. Shani is thrilled to have Joel back from Iraq, but he needs time to heal, and the quiet of Lancaster seems just the place. They can't imagine any trouble with their Amish neighbors, the Lehmans, but things get off to a rocky start when their son is involved in an accident that injures one of the Lehman boys. Eve Lehman has run her brother's household ever since the death of his wife, but Tim's a stern patriarch. Despite his protests, she's drawn to the new neighbor, Shani, and the two begin to form a strong friendship forged on faith and family. Things seem like they've quieted down until Joel's single and handsome army friend Charlie catches Eve's attention--a man unlike any Eve has ever met. Suddenly life for both families becomes more complicated than any of them could have ever imagined.

This is a fantastic start to a series. I love the whole story of Englishers and Amish being neighbors and all the struggles they have to endure.

Gould has stepped outside the box on this one, it is not your everyday Amish fiction, you are sure to find this series a fresh voice in the Amish genre.

I did not like the character Tim but I really enjoyed Eve and Charlie's story, they were so easy to connect with. I learned to love Tim towards the end.

I enjoyed the kids in the story, about how they took up with each other so much. 

I gave this book 5 stars two times. I highly recommend it. This is a book Binge book, you can not put it down.

I was given a copy of this book by the author for my honest review.
