Description
Book Synopsis
Warm and uplifting, Rosalind Lauer welcomes readers back for the third time to Joyful River, Pennsylvania, a faith-filled Amish community living side-by-side with the English world as they both overcome culture clashes with compassion, love, and abiding trust in Gott's plan. The job of running the Church in Joyful River and being a father is proving to be a bit too much for Bishop Aaron. But when widow Collette Yoder steps in to help run his house, he never expected to find himself drawn to her no-nonsense practicality and easy smile. Love the second time around may prove to be the greatest gift of all! Collette Yoder's path hasn't been easy since her husband abandoned her--and she recovered from a near-fatal injury. But now-widowed, she feels blessed to provide for her children, especially when her new job means helping the also newly widowed Bishop Aaron Troyer straighten out his too-busy life. She simply won't let herself hope too much that their friendship could blossom into much, much more . . . Aaron Troyer can only thank Gott that he's finally found help. With a thriving congregation and two lively daughters growing up fast, the bishop has more demands on his time than hours in the day. And he's long admired Collette Yoder's quiet courage and ability to find joy in the smallest things--an inspiring example for three visiting Englisch girls. But amid unforeseen trouble and strife, Aaron may realize that his admiration for Collette could lead to a lifetime of joy together . . .

The Love of a Good Amish Woman is well-written with steady pacing. There are great characters in this story. I enjoyed getting to know them. There are a couple of storylines which I liked. It kept things interesting. I like how the relationship between Aaron and Collette progressed. They got to know each other while Collette was in rehab. The pair become friends before romance blossoms between them. There are good life lessons and faith messages in the story. I especially liked Suzi’s story. I was happy to return to Joyful River, Pennsylvania. I like that the author shows real life struggles and tragedies. We get to the characters work to overcome adversity. It is wonderful how the members of the Amish community are there for each other when tragedy strikes. I have enjoyed each book in the Joyful River series. The Love of a Good Amish Woman can be read as a standalone, but you will be missing out. The Love of a Good Amish Woman is a heartwarming tale with a busy bishop, a matchmaking Miriam, a standout scar, yucky yumasetti casserole, a wonderful wedding, life lessons, and a caring community.
