A Time for Peace ~ Quilts of Lancaster County ~ Book 3
A Time for Peace in the Quilts for Lancaster County ~ Book 3 gives a look into the everyday life of an Amish family. Matthew, the father is strong, loving and gentle as he sticks to his belief in living according to Amish traditions. Jenny, his wife was not born in the Amish community although her father was and left to live in the English world. She met Matthew when she was young on a visit to her Amish grandmother. The conflict in the story is that Jenny has trouble accepting the Amish way and things that happened in the past. She feels like she has been betrayed and she is also learning that it is not easy to accept the forgiveness aspect of the Amish faith. She understands what is expected of her but she still struggles within herself to live what she comes to believe. Jenny has studied the Amish ways, converted to the Amish Church and married Matthew, a widower with three children and is now the children's mom but she still continues to be a writer from her previous life and is still recovering from injuries she received as an overseas reporter. In the day-to-day living as a good Amish wife she has learned to cook, live without electricity and helps the children learn to live in an Amish home; it is the internal conflict she feels within when she feels envy and wants a child of her own and after three years has not conceived that gives her problems. This book took a look into the daily lives of an Amish home and how close the family is within the home and to the neighbors (Matthew's sister and Jenny's grandmother) shows how they pull together to help each other on a daily basis. The closeness of the extended family is awesome and pulls it together to represent values that all of us could learn to live by. I look forward to reading more by this author. Read more
