Courting His Amish Wife

Courting His Amish Wife by Emma Miller is a sweet uplifting tale. Eve’s story has a tragic beginning. Her stern father gives her a choice of marrying a man who attacked her or be forced to leave her home (what a choice). Eve is a woman of deep faith (also very naïve) and the last thing she wants to do is leave the Amish. Eve feels that if she is shunned, she will lose her faith. Levi Miller is a kind man who offers to marry her. These two strangers marry which, of course, leads to complications. They need to get to know each other while being surrounded by his large family in Hickory Grove, Delaware. Miscommunication, assumptions, and impatience abound. I laughed and smiled while reading this sweet story. I liked the faith elements in Courting His Amish Wife. God’s will, trusting in God, and forgiveness are some of faith lessons. I thought it was well-written with developed characters. There are some great characters in this story with my favorite being Rosemary, Levi’s stepmother. I look forward to reading the next novel featuring the Miller family. Courting His Amish Wife is a heartwarming story with a hardhearted daed, an affable family, a firm faith, sudden nuptials, and a sizable secret.
