An Amish Family is a collection of four novellas written by Kathleen Fuller, one of my favorite Amish authors. Two of the stories have appeared in previous collections with other authors, and the other two are new to this collection.
As always, Kathleen gives us sweet stories of love and family filled with characters experiencing real feelings and struggles, such as: long-time hurts and grudges (Building Trust); secret, misplaced guilt (A Heart Full of Love); unexpected love (Surprised by Love); and complicated relationships (A Gift for Anne Marie).
While my favorites are usually full-length novels and multi-volume series, I enjoy reading these smaller novellas from time to time. Each story can be read at a short sitting, or you can easily enjoy a little longer journey through the entire collection.
I highly recommend An Amish Family to fans of great Amish romance.
Thanks to Booklook Bloggers for providing a copy of the book. I am happy to share my own thoughts in this review.
