An Amish Match ~ Book Review ~ My First Book Review On Here!

-

You may have noticed that my posting patterns have changed lately. Usually I post on Monday and Friday, but lately I've just had so many post ideas that I just want to churn them out!
So for the next few weeks you may see me posting on other days as well. Hopefully you don't get sick of me then!
Now on with the review......


Oh, this book made me so happy!

"With a baby on the way, a toddler son to care for and a run-down farm, Amish widow Rebekah Burkholder is worried for her family's future. So when a kind, hardworking Amish widower with three children proposes marriage for sensible reasons, Rebekah accepts.
She'll oversee Joshua Stoltzfus's household, be a loving mother to his children and try to reach his rebellious teenager.
Joshua will make a wonderful father to her young son and the little one soon to be born.
But as Rebekah unexpectedly falls for her new husband, dare she hope that Joshua will reopen his heart to love, too?"

 I really loved this heartwarming read. There were great moments with the whole family and I loved how loving they all were. The Stoltzfus family is the kind of family I would love to hang out with.

 Rebekah is such a loving, wise and strong woman. She is great with the kids and really helps Joshua and his teenage son Timothy repair their shaky relationship.
Joshua is so kind and caring towards his family, he works hard but spends time with them as well.

 My favourite quote form this book is the description Jo Ann Brown gives of Rebekah.
"Her freckles looked as if someone had blown cinnamon across her nose and high cheekbones."
Isn't that so cute? I just love that description of freckles.
I like that the lady on the front has red hair like Rebekah is supposed to. Sometimes covers have a person with blond hair when the character actually has black hair or something like that and it bugs me!
The ending was great and after I finished I had to hug the book.
I do recommend this book if you want something short but sweet. It was quite clean, mentioning a few kisses that were not detailed.

What more can I say? Overall I just loved this book!
Let me know if you pick it up and read it!

August Favourites

Wow, August has come to an end already! I am so excited that Spring is basically here now. The sunny weather and longer days have really done something to my creative juices, which seemed to be hibernating during winter and now there are awake and flowing again. Books The Beautiful Pretender by Melanie Dickerson My goodness, I enjoyed this book so much! I have a full review in the works but I definitely had to mention it in this post. It's like the second book its series(Medieval Fairytale series). I have just started the third and final book, The Noble Servant and it is equally as intriguing as The Beautiful Pretender. And the cover of TBP....so pretty! Sarah, Plain, and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan This book has become a new all-time favourite of mine! I found this on audiobook on my library's app and since I'd seen the movies a long time ago I decided to give it a go and get a boost on my Goodreads reading challenge. But I never would have known how much

Why I Want To Be A Mother & Homemaker

Hello darlings! I'm going to warn you now, what I am about to say in this post might be a little controversial and many women today wouldn't share my opinions on these topics. But I have decided to go ahead and share what is on my heart about being a mother & homemaker and I hope that you find it interesting and inspiring all the same. My reason for speaking about this is because I think its something that is unpopular but necessary in today's society and the women that do want to pursue the life of a mother/homemaker often feel alone in their choice of lifestyle. My Life Dream If you were to ask me what my biggest dream in life is, my answer wouldn't be to have a great career and a fancy apartment in the city. No, my answer would be this, that my dream is to become a wife and mother and create a home in the country where we can grow our own food, live naturally and simply and let my kids grow up getting dirty and playing outdoors. We'd have som

She is called Daughter

                                                                      She stood there. Watching. Waiting and dreaming.  Watching the wind toss the branches of the trees. Waiting in the stillness. And dreaming of things still to come. She adored the sweet solace she found on that quiet hill.  How the dainty flowers that grew there, bobbing back and forth in the breeze. For many years she had come here and always to escape the crowd. How they pushed and pulled her; it filled her head with fog. So she came to the quiet hill that felt closer to the sky, to have heavenly conversations with the Father of her heart.  Sometimes she would just sit and think.  Other times she might sing. Often she would pick armfuls of blossoms. But always she knew whose watchful eye was over her and she'd smile at the thought. It was while she was standing there dreaming, that when the breezes stilled, she heard the grasses rustling at her side. She saw a figure approaching,
