My Thoughts...
I read both novellas by Kelly and Ruth and they were both five star Christmas novellas. I hated for them to come to an end. I loved Ellie and Ezra's story. I could not wait to see what was going to happen next. And being a dog lover as well I loved the story of LuLu and Ezra's daughter. Ruth really out did her self on this novella.
Kelly Wrote a novella about David and Molly and David's old englisher girlfriend coming back to town to care for her ailing daddy. Who will David chose? You will have to pick up a copy to find out. You are sure to find both of these novella's worth checking out.

A Dream of Miracles By Ruth Reid



Amish widow Mattie vows never to love again . . . until a suspicious outsider with a shadowy past comes crashing into her fragile world.
 
Mattie Diener can barely keep it together. A young Amish widow and mother of two young children, she faces the lingering heartbreak of lost love, her son’s mysterious illness, and a torrent of accusations that threaten to undo her.

When Mattie and Bo cross paths, all signs point to disaster. Yet as they face a crucible of trials and tragedies together, longings begin to stir that seem destined only to end in more heartbreak. Is a miracle possible—not only of healing but of forbidden love? What secrets lie in Bo’s dreams? And will Mattie find the courage to face her uncertain future . . . or will she simply run away?

This is book three in the Amish Wonders series, You must read them all three. They can be read as stand alones.
This was the most different Amish book I have ever read. That being said I never put the book down until the very last page.
Child Protective Services being called was not what you would have thought was going to put a twist in this story.
That was the hard part of the story. The romance was sweet. The characters are relatable and easy to relate too.
I can't wait for the next book by Ruth Reid to hit the shelves.
I gave this book 5 stars and I HIGHLY recommend it.

A Woodland Miracle By Ruth Reid


For a disadvantaged young woman and a displaced young man, a lasting love is going to take more than chance—it’s going to take a miracle.
Muscle weakness has left Grace Wagler with a broken body—and her childhood best friend has left her with a broken heart. She can hold her own in the timber camp (and do everything else the other women in Badger Creek can do), but in an Amish district where women outnumber men three to one, marriage is an unlikely prospect for a girl with bad legs.
Ben Eicher just arrived in Michigan from Pinecraft, Florida. When his most recent shenanigans proved too much for his daed’s patience, Ben was sent to the Upper Peninsula to work in the lumber camp—and he’s neither proud of his behavior nor thrilled about his new home.
But when Ben meets Grace, the struggling young woman quickly piques his curiosity. Of course, the last thing Grace wants is another friendship with a man who pities her. Tired of physical pain and romantic dead ends, Grace is ready to leave Badger Creek for the muscle specialist in Ohio, even if it contradicts her father’s wishes . . . and Ben’s.
Meanwhile, two dangerous men have found their way into the district. It isn’t long before their unsavory plans ensnare Grace and Ben in a chase that will not only endanger their lives . . . but test their love.

This was by far Ruth's best book yet. I could not put it down for one second it was so good. I had to know if Josiah was going to make it. I pulled for Lindie every step of the way.
This has to be said this book was better then anything you have every read by Beverly Lewis.
This is not an author to miss.
I gave this book 5 stars two times, it was so good!
I HIGHLY recommend this book.

An Amish Miracle By Mary Ellis, Ruth Reid, and Beth Wiseman



“Always His Providence” by Ruth Reid
Widow Rosa Hostetler has one month to pay her delinquent taxes before the county auctions her farm. She’s prepared to sell whatever is necessary to pay the lien, but she isn’t willing to request money from the community’s widow fund. She’s embarrassed and refuses to admit she needs help. Rosa depends on income from selling eggs, but when that income is threatened, only a miracle can help Rosa accept the kindness of a neighbor.
“Always in My Heart” by Mary Ellis
Hope Bowman believes God is punishing her for giving up her firstborn son when she was a teenager. She’s hidden this secret from her husband, who is thankful for their daughters but longs for a son. Hope prays desperately, but the son God sends her isn’t a new baby but the fifteen-year-old boy she gave up years ago.
“Always Beautiful” by Beth Wiseman
Becky Byler is eighteen and overweight. She is overwhelmed by the embarrassment she feels when comparing herself to other girls her age. Having lost all hope, she considers taking her own life. As she stands before rushing water, unable to swim, Becky begs God for a miracle. In just several months, Becky sees her prayers answered as food and temptation lose their hold over her. She’s finally pleased with how she looks, but does she like the person she has become? And has the man she has dreamed of been right beside her all along, loving her exactly as she is?

Mary Ellis grew up close to the eastern Ohio Amish community, Geauga County, where her parents often took her to farmer's markets and woodworking fairs. She loved their peaceful, agrarian lifestyle, their respect for the land, and their strong sense of Christian community.

Mary enjoys reading, traveling, gardening, bicycling and swimming. But her favorite pasttime is snorkeling, which she seldom gets to do living in Ohio. She is a former middle school teacher and a former saleswoman for the world's best chocolate company. Now she writes full-time and wonders why her house is still dusty and her garden has so many weeds. She is currently working on the New Beginnings series. Book 1-Living in Harmony is set in Maine and released in August. Book 2-Love Comes to Paradise is set in Missouri and will release in Feb 2013. Book 3-A Little Bit of Paradise is set in Kentucky and will release in July of 2013.

Award-winning, best-selling author Beth Wiseman is best known for her Amish novels, but her most recent novels, Need You Now and The House that Love Built, are contemporaries set in small Texas towns. Both have received glowing reviews. Beth's highly-anticipated novel, The Promise, is inspired by a true story.

WARNING: You can not put this book down once you crack it open and start reading it until the very last page!
I don't even know where to start with this review, you all already know Mary is on top of my favorite author list but what you don't know is Ruth Reid is just as a great as Mary, the stories in this book were way to short for me( I do not like when talented authors write novellas). But the great thing about this book is the characters carry over in to the next authors novella. All three stories were great. I fell in love with Hope in "Always in my Heart" and then Rosa and Adam in "Always His Provision" And you can't help but love Becky in Always Beautiful.
This best part of this book is that  in all three stories the characters intertwined.
I loved this book and I will of course keep a copy on my own book shelf forever. So that I can reread it over again each year.
I gave this book 5 stars and I gave all three novellas 5 stars.

An Angel by Her Side By Ruth Reid



Katie has lived through tragedy and heartache. But with the angel Elias by her side, the best years of her life are just ahead.
A Heaven on Earth Novel, #3
When Katie Bender’s fiancé died in a tragic accident, so did her hope of finding love. Though heartbroken, Katie is also practical. In the years since the accident she has discovered her gift for teaching. But when a tornado destroys her small Amish settlement, including the schoolhouse, Katie doesn’t know how she will provide for herself.
Seth Stutzman arrived in Hope Falls days before the storm. And when he helps usher Katie and the children to safety, sparks fly. But Seth is only in town to help his brother, Amos, get back on his feet following the death of his wife. He can’t afford to have feelings for Katie.
Rebuilding the community is a huge task, and soon, Katie and Seth are working side by side. As they privately wrestle with their feelings for each other, another silent—and ultimate—battle for their hearts rages unseen.
Sworn to protect what God has ordained, the mighty angel Elias appears to them as a mysterious visitor. And with his guidance, Katie and Seth find the courage to take the first small steps toward the life, and love, they were destined for.

Oh My what can I say about this book that will even come close to letting you know that I LOVED it. I highly recommend this book.
Ruth has wrote a book about an angel that walks here on earth and if ever we needed a book with this positive story line it is now.
I would give anything to see my angel that is by my side everyday.
I fell in love with Elias the angel, and I could not wait to turn the page to see what was going to happen next.
Katie and Seth were the best, I loved them both. This was the best Amish book I have read in a very long time. I loved the whole series. This was a fantastic finish to a wonderful series.
I am telling all of you Amish fans out there this is a MUST READ.  A 5 star book for sure!
