An Amish Reunion: Four Stories by Kathleen Fuller, Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston
3.0
Their True Home (Amy Clipston) - 3.5 stars
I liked seeing Rudy’s story. He and Marlene were cute together, and I liked the message of letting go of fear. This wasn’t my favorite Amy Clipston novella, but I still liked it.
A Reunion of Hearts (Beth Wiseman) - 3.5 stars
This one was close to home, as friends of mine recently lost their child. The story is about the grieving process of the parents as they struggle to cope with the massive loss. It was quite bittersweet, but had a hopeful message. Becky was just adorable. However, the fact that Gideon had a girlfriend while still legally married and a few suggestive comments kept this from being a full 4 star read.
A Chance to Remember (Kathleen Fuller) - 2 stars
The romance seemed out of the blue, and I didn’t like that it had an open ended ending. Meghan was a total snot, and despite the fact that Cevilla was Amish, the story had next to nothing to do with Amish life because Richard and Meghan were not. It didn’t seem authentically Amish either. There were a number of things that were said or done that didn’t seem like they would quite fit with the rules of the community.
Mended Hearts (Kelly Irvin) - 1 star
Ugh. I couldn’t stand Thaddeus and was mad that Hannah got back together with him. I liked Philip a lot more. I didn’t like the subject matter in general of this one, and I wasn’t happy with how it was resolved.
