Celebrate love with this short story collection from some of the most talented authors of Amish romance. Shelley Shepard Gray, Charlotte Hubbard, and Rosalind Lauer have teamed up to bring fans of faith-affirming romances, Amish Love Letters, a sweet collection that shows how the right words can spark a lifetime of joy.
In "A Love Letter Courtship," by Gray, Jennie Miller refuses Matthew Lapp's proposal. Despite their six-month courtship, Jennie doesn't feel a real connection necessary for a lifetime commitment. She suggests they spend the next month writing letters filled with their hopes and dreams. Soon, Jennie is falling for Matt, but did she miss her chance?
Hubbard's "S.W.A.K." is a story of mix-ups, romance, and faith. Fannie Kurtz knows fun-loving, attractive Eddie Brubaker is the man she wants to marry. But can someone as quiet as her catch the eye of the outgoing Eddie, who seems to attract friends without even trying? When he receives letters in pink envelopes, Fannie fears she might have fiercer competition than she thought. So, she writes letters of her own. But a mix-up could jeopardize their romance before it even starts unless Fannie puts her faith in God's plan.
Then in Lauer's "The Wrong Valentine," young widow Martha Lambright is grateful for how her late husband's family stepped up to help her. Working in her mother-in-law's restaurant helps her support her children, even if the girls from the kitchen giggling over making their valentine's cards reminds her of all she has lost. But when Mose Troyer, the bishop's former bad boy son and Martha's driver to and from work, finds a valentine he mistakenly believes is for him, it begins a tender exchange between them that could lead to a wonderful future.
Amish Love Letters is one of those books you need to hold onto so you can read it time and again. Each story is tender and sweet, celebrating not only romance, but the power of words. Jennie and Matt get to know each other in a way they never had, despite Matt visiting her house regularly. Eddie finds himself in quite a pickle, and even though he thought relocating to Promise Lodge would solve his issue, he discovers there are some problems you must face head on. Martha and Mose's story shows how misconceptions can interfere in finding happiness, but that heartfelt words show a side you might not always see.
If you are a fan of Amish romance, sweet stories, and faith-based story collections, you need to grab a copy of Amish Love Letters today. I highly recommend it.
