When Miriam's husband dies, she soon realizes her husband left his brother in charge of the orchard to make sure she and her son Jonah are taken care of. Since the orchard was passed down to Miriam through her family, her brother in law has no interest in running it. One of his stipulations is since he wants to go and live where his girlfriend is, Miriam has to be married within 3 months. Daniel is let go from his job at a local orchard due to the sale of it and he begins looking for other opportunities to run another orchard since his goal is owning his own one day. When he is given the chance to work for Miriam, her stubbornness to allow Daniel take complete control soon becomes an issue. Will she be able to relax and trust him to do the right thing with her son’s legacy especially when he starts bringing new techniques to improve her orchard? Will Daniel end up as the man who could be her husband even without help from the local matchmaker? Will Jonah be the key that allows them to open their hearts to each other? This was such an enjoyable read and I highly recommend it.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All words are my own.

An Amish Widow’s Promise is a well written Amish romance. I throughly enjoyed the plot and character dynamics. Fans of Amish fiction will enjoy this book. I received an advance ebook from Netgalley and the publisher. This is my unbiased review.

This is book two in the series. I enjoyed reading Daniel's story the second oldest of the Beiler brothers. Miriam who's husband has died is left to try and keep her young son his legacy the family orchard. Her brother in law was left in charge and had different ideas. Daniel is hired to work the orchard and finds out right away how strong willed Miriam is. Unlike a traditional amish woman she thinks she should be heard and her thoughts and ideas should matter. Can Miriam save her beloved orchard for her son and find a balance and way to work with Daniel. You should the book and see. It's a fun interesting book and I look forward to more books by this author.

Another award winning novel from this author that I very much enjoyed.
5 stars from me for keeping me entertained on a rainy afternoon.
I really liked Daniel and Miriam. They tickled me pink.
Her stubbornness and his impulsiveness. And sometimes a clash of wills. I loved it all.
I hope to see more about this wonderful family. I feel like they're my family too. I hated to say goodbye again.
This is also a story of forgiveness, hope and love.
I highly recommend it.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.
