review 1: I usually don't read books where Amish are the main characters but the premise intrigued me. I was a little dissapointed to find out that Levi was Amish but had left before he was baptized. I don't suppose any sort of romance would have been possible between the two otherwise but it was still dissapointed. Nevertheless the chemistry between the two characters was good and I enjoyed the first two-thirds. I wish the author had chosen to end the book after Levi proposed and decided to join the church and had a short epilogue. I did not enjoy the two chapters following this proposal and the long epilogue. It left little to the imagination and was rather sappy not to mention boring. Also, I do not understand the storyline of Pleasant's courtship with Merle. He was not a very ni... morece man and Pleasant just kind of accepted it because she was so old. I thought for sure that the author would introduce a new man for her. My only guess is that the author was giving a hint to her next book but it was written more as part of the storyline then a hint.
review 2: I belong to a group of Amish fiction lovers here on GoodReads, and each month, two books are chosen for the group to read together. January’s ‘Amish’ choice was ‘Hannah’s Journey’ by Anna Schmidt. Most books in the ‘Amish fiction’ genre are set exclusively in the Amish community itself. This book was set primarily amongst a circus community in the late 1920s. Hannah’s son, Caleb, has run away with the circus that wealthy Levi Harmon owns, and Hannah turns to Levi for help in bringing her son home to their Amish community. Levi suggests that Hannah come with him to meet up with his circus train so that she can find Caleb and bring him home, and as Hannah makes her journey to find her son, she finds unexpected friendships along the way, including one that will change the life of her and her son forever. As mentioned earlier, this book is a departure from the norm in Amish fiction, but I enjoyed it and will be reading more of Anna Schmidt’s work. less
