The Amish Midwife (Lancaster Courtships #3) by Patricia Davids



An Unexpected Family

Amish midwife Anne Stoltzfus is used to late-night visitors - but she's shocked to find reclusive bachelor Joseph Lapp on her doorstep with a baby in his arms. Their neighborly quarrels are pushed aside when Joseph explains that his sister has left her daughter in his care - and Joseph needs Anne to be her nanny. Soon they're bonding over baby Leah, and the love they feel for her is healing them both. When Joseph makes an offer of marriage, Anne's painful past resurfaces and she's unsure of what to do. But taking a chance could mean love - and family - are waiting just across the fence.

Lancaster Courtships: Life and love in Amish country

My Review 

The Amish Midwife by Patricia Davids is the third book in the Lancaster Courtship series, the first book The Amish Bride by Emma Miller, and the second The Amish Mother by Rebecca Kertz, and they all tie in together, with references to other characters that we have come to know.
A confirmed Amish bachelor farming with goats, Joseph Lapp, lives next door to Midwife and roadside vegetable stand farmer, Annie Stoltzfus. The book opening with a tangle of wills when Joseph’s goat gets into Annie’s garden patch, and watch for Annie hitting Joseph with a tomato! Got your interest? That is just a hint as to what is to come in this fast page-turning read, and when you think you know what is going to happen, guess what, wrong, well maybe not about all of it. Get ready for a story that will linger with you, and make you want more!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Love Inspired, and was not required to give a positive review.
