An Amish Home: Four Novellas by Kathleen Fuller, Amy Clipston, Beth Wiseman
2.0
A Cup Half Full (Beth Wiseman) - 1 star
I didn’t like this one at all. The couple didn’t seem compatible and weren’t honest with each other. The conflict was fairly major and seemed to be wrapped up way too quickly. Also, the title is somewhat ironic, since I found the two main characters to be extremely pessimistic.
Home Sweet Home (Amy Clipston) - 4 stars
Amy Clipston has done it again. I really felt for this couple and though they had their problems, they seemed compatible overall. I’m hoping the Amish family of this novella will appear in some of the author’s other works, because these characters don’t seem to be connecting to any of her existing series.
A Flicker of Hope (Ruth Reid) - 1 star
VERY depressing. It seemed like one bad thing after another happened to this couple, to the point that it was almost unrealistic. They didn’t seem compatible either, and again, weren’t honest with each other. I think the flashbacks were supposed to show how they were perfect for each other, but if anything they showed the opposite to me. It’s also the longest in the collection and it felt dragged out and somewhat repetitive.
Building Faith (Kathleen Fuller) - 3 stars
This seemed very short and the conflict was resolved very quickly. The issue with Silas’s mother almost seemed like a copout to me. I did like that Silas and Faith actually talked about the issues they had with each other.
