His Accidental Amish Family

GIVEAWAY


GOOD, RACHEL J.
HIS ACCIDENTAL AMISH FAMILY

In the picturesque Amish community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, life's detours may prove the path to true happiness...

After a buggy accident when she was a teenager, Anna Flaud was told she would never walk again. Unwilling to be an object of pity, she put aside her dreams of marraige and found purpose as an assistant at a Community Care Center. Now she has a chance to fulfill her dearest wish --- motherhood -- and adopt three siblings with special needs. Yet the opportunity comes with a condition Anna isn't sure sh can meet: finding a husband.

Levi King began working at the center as penance after a careless mistake led to tragedy. Though he's dealing with his own heartbreak, he's drawn to Anna, cheering her on as she strives to regain her mobility. Her quiet determination, her generous heart -- these are qualities to cherish in a wife. Still, Anna's plans give him pause. Given his past, Levi hardly trusts himself to care for one child, let alone three. Yet together, perhaps they could forge a family made sturdier by all they've overcome...

My Review:

I'm always looking for Amish stories with a fresh perspective so I was excited to discover this gem. A heroine with a disability and a rehab center run by Mennonites plus a heartrending adoption story all wrapped up in a compelling inspirational read. 

Rachel J Good is a master at creating emotionally charged blockbuster reads rooted in faith. Themes of forgiveness and trusting in God through impossibly hard times bring extra depth to the story. My heart is full to brimming after taking this journey with Anna and Levi. And I don't mind admitting I shed a tear or two (or a bucketful) at the end. Sniffley sigh. This is the kind of story that sticks with a reader long after the final page is read.

  3. Entertaining and very educational, or so it would appear to me, to learn more in depth the different lifestyles. I have never lived around an Amish community, but when I was in my mid-twenties several Mennonite families bought farming/ranching property in my very small home town and established a church. I came to know members of one family, in particular. Thanks!

    1. We have an new Old Mennonite Order settlement within about an hour's drive from me. The Amish and Mennonite communities in Southern Ontario are being pushed out by city sprawl. It's interesting to discover the varying ways they live and worship. Just like every Christian community differs wildly as well. Good luck, CC!

  4. I, too, love the intriguing premise of this story! It's not often I get to read a story where the hero or heroine are disabled. I also love that this is rooted in faith & very emotional. Those are my favorite kind of books! :-)
