A modern new century brings a young Amish woman an unexpected new life—and a chance to discover love’s true way home…
Ohio, 1899. Soft-spoken midwife Becca Yost lived by her Amish faith’s strict rules—until her fiancé jilted her before their entire community. She’s never been away from home, but the bustling Englischer town of Massillon, Ohio, is a welcome unexpected refuge. Especially when she goes to work for Dr. Matt Carrington, who shares her passion for healing those in need. His outgoing spirit and gentle strength show Becca a surprising new world of choices—and irresistible love. But there is one formidable obstacle: Matt’s wealthy mother is determined her son will marry a society woman.
With her newfound resolve challenged, Becca decides that she and Matt must not be destined for each other after all. She accepts that she will have to forge a life alone—until a wrenching crisis and life-changing revelations teach her that true faith lies in all things, especially impossible second chances. . .
Change of Heart by Molly Jebber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
I have read many Amish books over the past few years especially and they tend to follow a fairly typical format. However, whether a romance or mystery, i can always count on a clean story with characters who stick to their values in the midst of a culture of simplicity and a strong work ethic. And this book does follow in that tradition with a few unexpected and expected twists along the way.
As I read this book, I wasn’t certain of my review rating until the last quarter of the book. While I adored the characters and the overall premise, I wasn’t planning to bestow the rating of “five” until the action altered the miraculous nature of the book.
I appreciated the fact that this book demonstrated that it did not make someone an apostate if that individual left the Amish faith. In fact, if a person stopped being Amish, he or she could still be a thriving Christian. Moreover, it is even possible to remain a family without the stigma of “shunning.”
The most amazing concept to me in this book was that of prejudice against the Amish. I never considered this was a possibility, but as a result of this book, I can see where this is a definite possibility which absolutely enrages and stupefied me.
