Murray Pura recommends
Reluctant Rebel (2022)
Parris Afton Bonds
"A powerful novel that will entertain as well as enlighten and enthrall - the heroine is a fiery wonder."
When Hearts Break (2020)
Jerry S Eicher
"When Hearts Break is a powerful and beautiful work from the hand of Jerry Eicher. With this book, he moves Amish fiction from delightful romances into the realm of realism and classic storytelling. Jerry gives us full-blooded characters in their struggles and complexities, the things they overcome by the grace of God and the things that bring them to their knees in humility and defeat. By doing this, he makes his entire novel shine. Five stars. Highly recommended."
