"The Cowboy's Amish Haven" by Pamela Desmond Wright: This book surprised me because I didn't know there were Amish in Texas and some have ranches. It was a pretty good story with the usual romance and peril.
"Her Secret Amish Match" by Cathy Liggett: Hannah had made a lot of matches but she hadn't considered a match for herself. Levi, a widower with three children, and his now deceased wife had been friends with Hannah forever, so she didn't really think of him as a match for herself even though she become very close with him and his children.
I thought both of these stories were good for this type of book and were a good "double-header."… (mere)

Trusting Her Amish Heart grabbed my attention from the very beginning. I loved getting to know Leah Zook and discovering what made her run away from her family. Caring for her elderly neighbor who owns a horse farm gives Leah purpose, but after an injury forces her to reach out to his estranged son Zach Graber, things become a little more challenging for Leah.

As she works to heal the rift between the two men, she also deals with her own challenges. Secrets that the two keep from each other, but finally being honest with each other heals past hurts and allows them to pursue a future. Other characters in this book help bring the story to life.

So if you enjoy Amish stories filled with faith, family, and friendship, check out this book for yourself.

I loved that for a quick read these characters had depth and were realistic in their thoughts and feelings. Sometimes our deepest hurts are based upon a cloudy judgement and I loved how they grew and learned to talk to each other to work things out. It was enjoyable to watch secrets unfold as they learned to trust each other and find forgiveness. Zach and his father both had misconceptions and to see their relationship heal as they learned to be open was refreshing. This book had so many nuggets of wisdom in a small package. This is my first book by this author and I was engaged with her writing style from the beginning.
