The Amish Mother's Secret

Thank you so much Vinspire Publishingfor allowing me to read, The Amish Mother's Secret by Diane Craver. This is a new to me author, but I would read her in the future. Release date is December 27, 2022.

Such a heartwarming story of love lost, found again through faith and forgiveness.

Diana Craver does a fantastic job of telling the story in such a personal way that you can not help but to be drawn in.

We meet Lindsay Prescott, Harris Manning, their identical triplets, and The Yoders who adopted Amy and Jenna while Lindsay kept Phoebe.

This book offers it all. It is a 5-star read. I was not required to give a positive review.

This is a heartwarming story that is full of hope, forgiveness and faith. It's an emotional story that will tug at your heartstrings and keeps you turning the pages to see what happens next. I enjoyed reading this book.
I received a complimentary copy from Vinspire Publishing via NetGalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was a nice romance read. It follows the English characters with only a sprinkling of the Amish characters. It has a sweet story. A few times I found the author repeating the story where it could have been left out. Then in the end large parts of what happened are left out and left to your imagination. Even with these few quirks it was an enjoyable read. #netgalley #ARCnetgalley

One of my favorite things about this book was the hope that if offered when things went wrong in this story.
I also loved that even when things aren't going well or the way we should think they go it's always in God's timing NOT ours! The author has done well with this .
I loved all of the characters in this book. Out of all the sisters my favorite was Phoebe. I loved her positive outlook on things especially with her mom.
Really, her mom is the true heroine.
When you read this story you'll see why.
This story made me stop and think about many things mostly life in general.
I thought the author did a fine job in writing this book.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was a good book about sisters coming together after being apart for so long. It was q lovely story of overcoming obstacles and a family coming together because the amish helped. This book was approved for me to read and review by netgalley and the publisher.

A mother's cancer illness leads her daughter to find family, a simplistic answer, but yes, the author has the mother diagnosed with lymphoma, and her daughter makes a startling discovery.
I had a lot of mixed emotions as I read this book, trying to put myself in each mother's shoes, and I respect the Amish mother's point of view, and worry about her children leaving the faith, but I struggled with her attitude.
There is a lot of forgiveness shown by a lot of the characters, and I loved the faith shown but most! Family does become the highlight here, and you will need to read to find out what happens with the triplets!
This became a page turner for me, I needed answers!

My Thoughts: Heart Wrenching

The Amish Mother's Secret was absolutely heart wrenching. Author Diane Craver has beautifully written this story in such a way that makes the reader feel what Lindsay went through in the past as well as in her present. She doesn't sugar coat any of the feelings, pain, or frustrations that Lindsay has dealt with and is dealing with now. The story also lets the reader feel what the other characters who have also been affected by the past and present situations are feeling as they too must cope with everything. There is pain, joy and so much more as new revelations and situations continue to come up. Through it all are the messages of love, forgiveness, second chances, new beginnings, and trusting God's will, His plans for our lives, and His timing. It truly is a beautiful and moving story.

Diane Craver is a new author to me, and I really didn't know what to expect. However, after reading The Amish Mother's Secret I guarantee that I am looking forward to reading more of her works.

Book Quotes:

Roman shrugged. “Many times, I don’t have the answers, but I pray, and God helps me with everything.”

But God is good. He is my strength, and I leave nothing to chance and everything to God.
