I really enjoyed this book love the cover and the settings in it! I really adore Kelly Irvin stories I get so lost in them. This is very good series so far. It has me interested from the very beginning.

In Through the Autumn Air, book three in Kelly Irvin’s Every Amish Season series, we find ourselves back with our favorite widow group. What I find special about this group is that they span over several generations and support each other through heartache and new love.
Mary Katherine is in a new season of her life, mother of ten and widow for the past four years, she is prepared to live out her final days alone in the home that she shared with her late husband. Now that her last daughter is married, and she is facing living alone, her children step up and decide that at 60 years old she is no longer safe to live alone. Little did she know that God had different plans which starts to unfold when she hears an intruder in her home.
Ezekiel is owner of the Blue Martin Café in town and an 0ld school friend of Mary Katherine’s. After bumping into each other at her daughter’s wedding, he offers her a job cooking in his café. Definitely not the dream job that Mary Katherine had intended for herself.
It was great to see two individuals in the autumn of their lives, come together to help a stranger and in the process help each other heal the loss that they still carried like a badge of honor. I loved how Mary Katherine was determined to not be put out to pasture, but instead intended to follow her own dreams.
I liked the mystery of the burglar that preyed on the Amish, as well as, how Mary Katherine stood up for herself. I also loved that Kelly showed how the Amish and English worlds intertwine with not only Burke but also the employees of the Blue Martin Café.
This is a series book, but you do not have to read the first two before you read Mary Katherine’s story.
I received a copy of this novel from netgalley.com and Zondervan Fiction in return for my honest review.

I absolutely adore this author and every. single. word. she has ever written. This book is the third in the "Every Amish Season" series. As a teenager, I grew up loving Janette Oke. As an adult, I have searched and searched to find an author that gives me the same warm, comforting feelings that Janette Oke gave me as a child. Imagine my joy when I discovered Kelly Irvin and found that same, cozy feeling while reading her stories. Her novels are simply fantastic, completely engrossing and always edifying. Through the Autumn Air was absolutely brilliant, just like all the rest.

What a refreshing change to read a book with older main characters. Through the Autumn Air is a beautifully written inspirational romance. I loved the plot and the characters. This author always delivers a great read. I have not read previous books in this series but definitely will be. I highly recommend this book. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC. This is my unbiased review.

As a fifty plus person myself, it was interesting to me to read about Mary Katherine, a 60 year old widow, with ten children, and about Ezekiel, a widower himself, with three children. Both have lost their spouses awhile ago, but never planned on looking again. Both have children telling them what to do, and both have trouble letting go with the past. With a mystery of houses getting broken into, and small items being taken, Mary Katherine hears a noise downstairs and grabs her gun and goes to investigate. Finding a man eating a sandwich, she ends up fixing him food and letting him sleep in her barn. Burke is a man with his own pain of loss, and soon becomes friends with both Mary Katherine and Ezekiel. Really enjoyed this one, and while many Amish stories deal with widows and widowers, this one, with both being older was a fun read for me. Highly enjoyed this book, and would definitely recommend it.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. It really was just a typical Amish story with friendship and love. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Amish books but I like some type of action or anticipation in it.

Follow Mary Katherine through her life's changes when her last child marries and leaves home. What will she do? Will she fulfill her dreams. Will she find love again? Excellent book.
I was given an ARC by Zindervan and Net Galley for my voluntary review and honest opinion.

Through the Autumn Air. by Kelly Irwin
We meet Mary a widower seeing her daughter getting married today. She has a habit of jotting her thoughts down in a notebook, in the middle of life’s memories. Alone now, the creaking awaken her, someone was in kitchen, fixing a sandwich. She fixes him food, and offers the barn to sleep in, he wants to work. Helping another friend Ezekiel, needing a cook she brings Burke to help him. They watch over him, which leads to them spending time together, and more than friendship is sparked. Though they have loved deeply, and lost, in the Autumn time of their lives, to find another to share. They feel this was a blessing from God. Given ARC from Net Galley and Zondervan for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

I've read the first two books in this series, and enjoyed catching up with the same cast of characters again in this third installment. Each of the seasons that the book centers around also seems to be related to the book's theme. In this case, we are in the autumn of our characters' lives...catching them at retirement age. (It should be noted that you do NOT have to read all of the books....they work just fine as a stand-alone.) There are many unique elements in here that I haven't seen in other Amish stories, including criminal acts, the intertwinedness of the Amish & Englisch (more than usual), and the complexity of growing old within the Amish community. This is a story of loss and grief, of overcoming, and of second chances.

Through the Autumn Air is simply lovely. Mary Katherine, Ezekiel, and Burke have all suffered loss and through friendship help each other find love and acceptance. It is a book about second chances. I love May Katherine's fiesty nature.
