The Amish Quiltmaker's Unlikely Match by Jennifer Beckstrand

 

Though Mary Yoder longs to marry someday, she finds caring for her community’s injured and sick is much easier than courting. But when Englischer Clay Markham crashes his car nearby, Mary’s nursing shows her his hidden wounds are more painful than his injuries. Though she’s irresistibly drawn to his kind nature, can she risk letting him into her heart?

On the run from his troubled past, ex-pro baseball player Clay can’t believe the quiet sanctuary he’s found under Mary’s care. Her gentle faith and knowledge are somehow giving him hope he can change his life—and offer her the love she truly deserves. But when his secrets catch up with him, can he and Mary find the courage to face the truth, set things to rights . . . and make way for a future together?

My Review

 This was a difficult read for me, I love this author's books, but this one was not one of them!

The values of the Amish and the adherence to the rules that keep them in their faith, and yes, they do have rumspringa, but this is a story of a woman whom had already been baptised.

There is a lot of drama here and the news media, especially one, that you will really dislike. Then again, for the Amish to call the news and participate?

You will need to judge for yourself, but this is not a typical story.

I dd enjoy the ending!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.
