A total of 400 pages (with recipes!), An Amish Cradle is a pretty super-clean read. Lets break down my thoughts on each novella.
In His Fathers Arms by Beth Wiseman As someone who has a heart for kids with special needs and a future Occupational Therapist, I did enjoy this novella. Tied for first
A Son for Always by Amy Clipston Yay! I get to see Carolyn & Joshua & Ben again! Connected to A Mothers Secret a full length story, it was nice to see them if I cant relate to the storyline.
A Heart Full of Love by Kathleen Fuller While reading this novella, I got the feeling that I was missing something! Turns out its connected to a novella in the An Amish Love collection.
An Unexpected Blessing by Vannetta Chapman Now this I got the same feeling from it but I cant find that its connected to any other novellas/novels. Hmm!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
*I received this book for free from an Author for this review.
