“A Welcome at Our Door” by Amy Clipston

MY REVIEW:
I haven’t read anything by this author in several years and although I haven’t read anything from this “Amish Homestead”, I didn’t have a hard time jumping into the story and the characters.

The author included a listing of English and Amish/German words so readers could figure out the translations which was very helpful.

I enjoyed the story although it was stressful because I could feel the agony, heartache and frustration of Cindy trying to figure out her life’s purpose and path. It makes me sad that the Amish community isn’t more accepting of their children’s choices if they decide not to stay Amish (although I can see why-its still heartbreaking). I liked reading and seeing Cindy’s and Drew’s friendship blossom and how they helped each other thru their grief. I read the story in one night because I wanted to see what Cindy would decide about her friendship and becoming Amish and her relationship with her family.

I really enjoyed this realistic, Amish Christian fiction book! I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

After a devastating loss, Cindy Riehl is still searching for peace. Will she find it in the community she calls home—or will love send her down a new path?

Over the last few years, Cindy Riehl—the youngest of the Riehl children—has watched her siblings find love and happiness in Lancaster County. But as her family has settled down and grown, Cindy has continued to grieve her mother, whose death left an enormous hole in her heart. Since that haunting day, Cindy has struggled to find peace and wonders if the community is the place for her—and if her faith in God will ever feel the same as it once did.

When a handsome and kind Englisher named Drew crosses Cindy’s path one surprising day, the two of them become fast and easy friends. Drew dreams of starting a family after some losses of his own, and before long, he and Cindy discover that their feelings for each other are romantic. As they spend more time together—often in secret—Cindy is drawn further and further away from the Amish community and the family she loves. In time, she is faced with a difficult choice that threatens to upend her world.

Will Cindy find contentment and love, and will she ever find restored comfort in God and her beloved community? In this final installment of the Amish Homestead series, we return to the charming town of Bird-in-Hand for a story of healing, family, and God’s perfect provision.
