Book Review - "An Amish Garden"

Book Description from the publisher:

"Flowers for Rachael" Kathleen Fuller

"Seeds of Love" Tricia Goyer

"Rooted in Love" Beth Wiseman

Rosemary is doing her best to run her family's household. She excels at all her tasks except one: gardening. Saul has been interested in her for years, but Rosemary has turned him down repeatedly. Saul begins helping with her family's garden, but someone is sabotaging his efforts-and keeping a secret that could change their lives.


My Review:
Four wonderful authors: Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, Tricia Goyer, and Vannetta Chapman, have joined together and their stories make the latest novella collection, "An Amish Garden."  This is a wonderful collection for right now, as I am ready for spring to come and this season of new growth and beginnings.  In each of these four stories, gardening plays an important role, either as it is an escape for the main character or a thorn in her side.  Either way, it helps each of these women in the novellas find love, peace and joy in their lives.  This is a must-read for Amish fiction fans!  I love the cover of this book and also the quote that is included on the back cover: "Gardens are a place to rest, to draw near, and to heal."
