Living in Harmony is the
first book in bestselling author Mary Ellis's New Beginnings series. It's about
fresh starts and love...and how faith in God and His perfect plan for our lives
provides us with the peace and joy we desire.
Amy
King--young, engaged, and Amish--faces difficult challenges in her life when
she suddenly loses both of her parents in a house fire. Her fiancé, John
Detweiler, persuades her and her sister Nora to leave Lancaster County and make
a new beginning with him in Harmony, Maine, where he has relatives who can help
the women in their time of need.
John's
brother Thomas and sister-in-law Sally readily open their home to the three
newcomers. Wise beyond his years, Thomas, a minister in the district, refuses
to marry Amy and John upon their arrival, suggesting instead a period of
adjustment and counseling. During this time Amy discovers an aunt who was
shunned. She wishes to reconnect with her, but this puts a strain on her
relationship with John.
Can John
and Amy find a way to live in happily in Harmony before making a lifetime
commitment to one another?
My Review
Mary has done it again wrote another
5 Star Amish book that I could not put down. I felt like I was right
there with the characters Living in Harmony. A tragedy....A refusal...A
Shunning... What more could you want in an Amish book? You get it all in Mary's
new book. I am so happy that I read this book. I LOVED IT!!!
I was given a copy of this book by
