The Amish Midwife's Hope

I feel honored to have been invited by the publisher to read and review The Amish Midwife's Hope. The Amish Midwife's Hope is a beautiful story of finding love again after being widowed, and it is a story told in a very touching style by Barbara Cameron. I really love her writing style and I always look forward to a new book from her. In The Amish Midwife's Hope, Rebecca, a midwife in one of the Pennsylvania Amish communities, meets Samuel and his daughter Lizzie, new to her community. They enjoy an instant connection and attraction, yet he is at first standoffish once he realizes she is a midwife - due to his sadness from losing his first wife to complications of childbirth. It takes some time and gradual friendship between Samuel and Rebecca before he realizes the importance of taking risks to find a new love. I really enjoyed reading about Rebecca's feelings and experiences as a midwife. Her personality in the novel is that of a person i could easily see myself enjoying a conversation and a cup of coffee with. Ms. Cameron developed such relatable characters. In summary, The Amish Midwife's Hope is a novel I 100% recommend for fans of Amish novels.

Thanks go to the publisher and Net-Galley for the complimentary copy of The Amish Midwife’s Hope by Barbara Cameron for the purpose of reading and reviewing prior to publication. My opinions are my own, and no one has influenced them.

The Amish Midwife’s Hope is a heartwarming tale with engaging characters and an intriguing plot involving a widower, his young daughter, and the midwife, who is also widowed. I enjoyed the story because the writing is emotional, and character development is excellent.

Rebecca Zook’s character has all the qualities I enjoy most in Amish fiction. She’s hard working, caring and loves her family. She has been able to move past her loss and embrace her future. I became vested in her character from the start.

Samuel Miller is an interesting hero. There’s no doubt he loves Lizzie and had adapted to caring for her without much support from family. His grief though, has him afraid to move forward and find another wife as his faith dictates he do. My heart hurt for the troubled man throughout the story.

The romance is lovely with all the hallmarks of this genre. It centers on growing affection and friendship between the couple. Lizzie is an intricate part of their relationship and added greatly to the story. I truly wanted Rebecca and Samuel to work through their issues and find their happy ending.

If you enjoy Amish fiction with characters will touch your heart and a plot that has a great message, then you like The Amish Midwife’s Hope. This is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Cameron, and I enjoyed it. Happy reading!
