Library Journal Reviews Plain Promise and An Amish Christmas!

I think I can speak for my co-authors on this blog - we all feel so truly blessed to be able to write these stories with words that glorify God!  And when we are recognized by our peers and/or reviewers, it's an added bonus.  Just in today - Library Journal reviewed Plain Promise and An Amish Christmas!  Thank you SO much to everyone who has pre-ordered these books!  An Amish Christmas should be hitting the shelves as we speak, and Plain Promise is due out by Sept. 29.  Here's what Library Journal had to say about our "babies"...

PLAIN PROMISE
This title will appeal to all gentle romance readers as well as the growing number of fans of Amish tales.

This latest entry in Wiseman's Amish series (after Plain Perfect and Plain Pursuit) features Amish widow Sadie Fisher, who rents her guest cottage to outsider Kade Saunders for a month.  As she grows close to Kade's autistic son, Sadie also develops feelings for Kade.  This competent romance also presents authentic Old Order Amish recipes, along with a reading group guide and a glossary.   

AN AMISH CHRISTMAS -
Perfect for the holiday season, this trilogy also makes good reading for fans of Amish fiction.

Three festive novellas make up this holiday treat.  In Kathy Fuller's "A Miracle for Miriam," Miriam confronts Seth, the man who disappointed her in the past at a Christmas party.  When Seth's interest appears to be renewed, Miriam is not sure she trust him again.  In Beth Wiseman's "A Choice to Forgive," Lydia loses her husband of 15 years.  She had once loved her husband's brother, Daniel, but he left the Amish life to live in the Englishers world.  When he suddenly returns, Lydia does not know what the future holds.  The last tale, Barbara Cameron's "One Child," tell the story of the Christmas Eve birth of a child in Lancaster County.

    Just read "One Child" and your one liner doesn't do it justice in my eyes. Congratulations to all who worked so hard to bring it all together for the readers.

    Just finished reading Amish Christmas. Cried through half of the last story. I could empathize with her since I have been in that situation.
