About this ebook
In a heartwarming new series from New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray, four siblings take a genuine leap of faith when they move to their grandparents’ farm in rural Ohio and decide to become Amish.
Exploring the relationship between Amish and English cultures through the lens of a single family, the Amish Again series is perfect for fans of Beverly Lewis, Suzanne Woods Fisher, and Charlotte Hubbard – and anyone who enjoys uplifting stories about faith, family, love, and the simple life.
SIMULTANEOUS HARDCOVER AND TRADE PAPERBACK RELEASE!
Siblings Martin, Kelsey, Beth, and Jonny are as different as can be, but they have one thing in common. They’re all longing to reinvent their lives. Raised by their divorced lapsed-Amish father and English mother, they only knew real stability and a sense of family when visiting their Old Order grandparents, Josiah and Sylvia Schrock, in peaceful small-town Millersburg, Ohio. Now the four want to try living with them and joining their faith—much to the Schrocks’ surprise . . .
Martin, the eldest, is reeling from a bad breakup, so he’s especially determined to make a fresh start. When he meets his grandparents’ neighbor, Patti Coblentz, he’s immediately drawn to her outgoing, helpful nature—but is so overwhelmed that he appears blunt and rude. Is there any way he can drop his defenses enough to admit she’s captured his heart?
Always self-conscious about the birthmark on her temple, Patti is resigned to never marrying and busying herself with the responsibilities of the large home and property she has inherited. Besides, Martin’s ill-mannered behavior and disconcerting directness make him the last man she’d ever want to wed—no matter how handsome he is.
Yet given time and patience—and adhering to their grandparents’ unexpectedly challenging rules—the whole family might just find what they’re looking for, even Martin and Patti.

This is a sweet Amish romance that includes details about the life of the non-Amish and those in the faith. Four siblings decide to leave their old lives behind and join their grandparents in their Amish community. With humor and a touch of romance, this book is entertaining as well as informative about the Amish lifestyle. There were some surprising twists along the way, including an unexpected cliffhanger. I already can’t wait for the next book in this new series! All are my own opinions.

Loved reading the riveting story of four siblings, Martin, Beth, Kelsey, and Jonny, want to become Amish like their grandparents. Martin and Kelsey are the first two siblings that agree to a year learning about what it all entails to being Amish, but as Martin falls for the next door neighbor, Patti, Martin begins to have doubts about being Amish. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read story. Can't wait to read the next story in the series!
