This is the third book in a series, but can be read as a stand alone novel.

Her pregnancy, with Steven drove her away five years ago as a young teenager. Jonica is back to help her aunt sell her home. Caleb, a close neighbor is helping her aunt and wants to also help Jonica. A novel about friendship, trust, medical issues and forgiveness.

Ruth Reid's third installment from her Amish Mercies series, Steadfast Mercy, was a great read. It gets four stars from me.

This sweet Amish love story set in Michigan captured my interest from the beginning and kept it through the satisfying end! It is decidedly one of the best Amish stories I have ever read. The narrative follows the lives of single-mom Jonica Muller and farmer Caleb Schulmann both of whom are dealing with their own personal losses, guilt, and regret. The characters are well-developed and engaging. The story flows at a steady pace, and the faith element is beautifully woven into the narrative inspiring hope and forgiveness. Steadfast Mercy is the third book in the Amish Mercies series, but works well as a stand-alone read. This is my first read from Ruth Reid. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the first two books of the series. I highly recommend this book especially for lovers of Amish fiction.

I received a copy of this book in e-book form from the publisher via netgalley but am under no obligation to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Jonica's story brought tears to my eyes several times as I read. I loved the strong emotions and Jonica's steadfast gentleness even after all she has been through. I found the addition of Mr. Jordan quite interesting. My opinion of him changed dramatically as I read. His character made me stop several times and just think about what is actually possible. I would love to see more of these characters in a sequel, and I think this would make a great Hallmark movie!

This was an absolute delightful book to read. This had a great hook right from the beginning that propelled me to keep reading until 5AM each night.

This story follows the story of Jonica and Caleb as both grapple with if they deserve forgiveness for an event in their past. I really enjoyed reading snippets of information, including actions of the redheaded Englischer and medical information, as the book progressed as I was able to make predictions about the events that unfolded. The Bible verses throughout matched the context well.

I wish there were a series following the characters in this book. Based on this book, I look forward to reading other books that Reid has written.

If you're looking for a heartwarming book grounded on great values, then you should definitely read this book.

Thank you to Ruth Reid, Harper Collins, and NetGalley for the advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

I have read hundreds of Amish fiction in the last 25 years. Steadfast Mercy by Ruth Reid, stands out among the best. This book is a sweet inspirational romance. The characters are well developed and the story is superbly written. I am a fan of Ms Reid and will continue to read her books as they are published.

Jonica Muller has to go to Posen, Michigan, to settle her father's estate, because both her parents died in a tragic accident. When she gets to Posen, her aenti Edna is rather scattered in her memory and kind of wants to sell the farm and move in with her older sister who "needs help." Edna asked Caleb, who is working Edna's farm, to pick up Jonica and her five-year-old son. The only problem was that Caleb was the brother of her son's father. She truly wanted nothing to do with Caleb, until he started helping Jonica with Stephen's health issues.

This is a deeper plot than I usually read in Amish fiction. Ruth Reid's talent in bringing a compelling and engaging story is above the norm. I truly enjoyed this book so much that I had a really hard time putting it down.

This is a five-star book, with two thumbs up, and favorable medical results.

Thomas Nelson and NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for this review. The opinions expressed are my own.

Probably one of the best Amish novels I’ve read! (And I have read quite a few!) In fact, this one was so good that I read it in a day!! The love story sticks to the main characters and doesn’t try and confuse you with “filler”. It’s straight to the point and very sweet. I can’t wait to read more books by Ruth Reid! This one was excellent!

Steadfast Mercy is a very well written inspirational romance. Good plot with well developed characters. I highly recommend this book. I received an advance book from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

A good Amish romance. Jonica comes home with her 5 year old son, after the death of her parents. Now she is staying with her Aunt, and dealing with Caleb, who also happens to be the uncle of her son. I enjoyed this one, and liked the angel. Didn't care much for the mean spirited and gossipy young women. Is this really common? Sad if it is. Would still recommend this story.

Steadfast Mercy is set in Michigan, telling the story of an unwed mother, her son, and an elderly aunt who is struggling with dementia. The story tells of a family struggling with the death of their brother/son and an undiagnosed disease. Romance flows thru the story, unexpected and sometimes unwanted. Redemption flows. Great story!
