I have loved getting to know the families in this wonderful series and I was delighted to find out I could learn more about Elijah Miller, another of the Miller boys. In addition to keeping tabs on the Miller boys I've already grown to love, we get to know better three more friends in the community, Bonnie, Carol and Sophia. I love how the author brings in their disabilities in such a natural way and shows how people can lead productive and happy lives despite some physical limitations. Once again, this author knocked it out of the ballpark. Her characters always come to life for me and I want to be part of this amazing community of friends and family.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and did not have to write a review. All opinions are solely mine.

I always enjoy this author’s books and With all Her Heart was no exception. Beautifully written with a good plot and characters you will love. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance ebook. This is my unbiased review.

Another great book in this series! The Miller sons are all so different and have their challenges to overcome, but they learn to rely on God for help. I love that the main focus is the genetic disabilities as a result of the Amish closely intermarrying. I knew that certain diseases are prevalent among the Amish, but few fiction books mention it, preferring the romanticized version of this simple lifestyle. But I appreciated the author addressing it head on in a very respectful way. The characters in this book view all life as a blessing. It is an attitude we should also aspire to.
The dialogue throughout the series has been choppy, but this book was better. There were still times I was not sure which character was speaking, which made the conversation difficult to follow sometimes.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and read through it in a couple of days. For a refreshingly honest trip to Amish country, I recommend it. You do not have to read the other 2 books first, but it is helpful to get the background before reading book 3. I would love to see more in this series.

Did you know that because of intermarrying unintentionally that the Amish and Mennonites have an increase in their population of mental and physical birth defects ?
This story tells how Bonnie one of those people with a birth defect of SMA, which affected her ability to walk normally, her arm strength and her ability to do the physically demanding tasks all Amishwomen excelled in meets shy Elijah, a young man who creates beautiful toys and furniture for children.
Bonnie co owns a store that employs other handicapped women and sells handcrafts made by her and others and she never expected to meet someone who would not be overwhelmed by her limitations, so when Elijah who can hardly talk without stuttering shows an interest in her - she can't believe she is worthy.
Elijah has his own battles, you will enjoy their story.

There is something incredibly uplifting about reading an Amish romance. I never imagined how much I would enjoy them until recently. 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧 is the third book in Kelly Irvin’s 𝗔𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 series and was a truly special story. The thing I enjoyed most about this book was the incredible challenges the characters face and overcome. It’s a reminder to all of us to count our blessings and enjoy them. I savoured watching Bonnie and Elijah come together despite all the odds and find a healing kind of love. It made for an unputdownable read. I highly recommend this book and am giving it the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR and Enjoy!
