Change of Heart By Molly Jebber



A modern new century brings a young Amish woman an unexpected new life—and a chance to discover love's true way home…
Ohio, 1899. Soft-spoken midwife Becca Yost lived by her Amish faith's strict rules—until her fiancé jilted her before their entire community. She's never been away from home, but the bustling Englischer town of Massillon, Ohio, is a welcome unexpected refuge. Especially when she goes to work for Dr. Matt Carrington, who shares her passion for healing those in need. His outgoing spirit and gentle strength show Becca a surprising new world of choices—and irresistible love. But there is one formidable obstacle: Matt's wealthy mother is determined her son will marry a society woman.
With her newfound resolve challenged, Becca decides that she and Matt must not be destined for each other after all. She accepts that she will have to forge a life alone—until a wrenching crisis and life-changing revelations teach her that true faith lies in all things, especially impossible second chances. . .



"Change of Heart" is my first book in a three book series. My second in the series will be released in early 2016. In addition, I have a Christmas novella to be released this year!

A bit about me . . . .

I was raised in a small town in Ohio. If you had blinked twice, you would've missed it. It's grown by leaps and bounds. I've always found the Amish life interesting. I've enjoyed the many times I've visited their communities and learned about their lifestyle. Creating historical Amish characters and throwing them into difficult situations and joyous times has been challenging and fun. The greatest reward I've experienced in becoming an author is meeting wonderful people from all over the world who've been encouraging and supportive.

Visit my website and blog! Let's talk Amish, shopping, shoes, purses, likes and dislikes. I want to hear from you. I need your help when I hit a roadblock in my book or in life in general. What do you say? Life is empty without good friends to share it with.

This was a bit different from all the  Amish books that I usually read.
I liked some of the characters but it just was different. It has some romance and some twists, like leaving the Amish faith but they still love and trusted God.
It was one you may want to read and keep your eye on this author. This being her first book it may get better with more books under her belt.
Because this book was different does not mean it was not a good book I liked this book in fact I gave it four stars it was just different was all I'm saying.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review

    1. Hi Emma Grace,

      What a beautiful name. "Change of Heart" is the first book in the keepsake pocket quilt series Mary reviewed above, and "Grace's Forgiveness" is the second book in the series releasing in February. I'm writing the third book in the series now. I'm so glad Amish fiction is your favorite genre. I hope you enjoy "Change of Heart".
