about the book . . .
A Promise for Miriam,
the first book in a brand-new romantic series from popular author
Vannetta Chapman, introduces the Amish community of Pebble Creek and
some of the kind, caring people there. As they face challenges to their
community from the English world, they come together to reach out to
their non-Amish neighbors while still preserving their cherished Plain
ways.
Amish schoolteacher Miriam King loves her students. At 26,
most women her age are married with children of their own, but she
hasn?t yet met anyone who can convince her to give up the Plain school
that sits along the banks of Pebble Creek. Then newcomer Gabriel Yoder
steps into her life, bringing his daughter, an air of mystery, and
challenges Miriam has never faced before.
Will Gabe be able to
let go of the past that haunts him? He thinks he just wants to be left
alone, but the loving and warm community he and his daughter have moved
to has other plans for him. After a near tragedy is averted, he
hesitantly returns offers of help and friendship, and he discovers he
can make a difference to the people of Pebble Creek?and maybe find love
again. (Goodreads)

I haven't read any Amish books. I think I would be most interested in non-fiction study of Amish life.
If you're interested, a good nonfiction book to start with is "A History of the Amish" by Steven Nolt. It's available on Amazon. They have an interesting history and are nothing like those gosh-awful reality shows on TV.
I love Amish stories. This sounds fantastic and I loved the review. Thank you for sharing :)
Amish culture has always intrigued me...I will have to give this a try!
Thanks for sharing:)
