The Englisch Daughter

A marriage is tested in this Old Order Amish novel of longing for renewed love and a path for forgiveness from the best-selling author of Gathering the Threads .

Old Order Amish wife and mother Jemima has put her marriage and family ahead of herself for years. She's set herself aside. Raising four children, she's followed all the rules and has been patient in looking forward to her time to chase a dream of her own.

But when she finds out that her life savings for pursuing that dream is gone--and her husband, Roy, has been hiding a child with another woman--her entire world is shattered. Will she be able to listen to God and love Roy's child? With so much at stake, how can she and Roy fix their relationship before their lives come crashing down?


My Rating: 5 Stars

This story surprised me by how much I loved it! I am not a huge Amish fan overall, but this story intrigued me enough to sign up for a review copy. I am so glad I did. This story hooked me early on and I could NOT put it down. The characters were great and had me rooting for them from the beginning. Honestly, I want more of these characters!! This is a favorite read of 2020 for sure.

I received this book from the publisher and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
