 About the book:
A Dream of Miracles (Thomas Nelson, April 2016)
Amish widow Mattie vows never to love again . . . until a suspicious outsider with a shadowy past comes crashing into her fragile world. Mattie Diener can barely keep it together. A young Amish widow and mother of two young children, she faces the lingering heartbreak of lost love, her son's mysterious illness, and a torrent of accusations that threaten to undo her. Bo Lambright is a fast-rising social services investigator whose high-society mother won't rest until she finds his Mrs. Right. Despite Bo's worldly success, the raw ache of a shadowy past and a series of unsettling dreams have left him reeling. When Mattie and Bo cross paths, all signs point to disaster. Yet as they face a crucible of trials and tragedies together, longings begin to stir that seem destined only to end in more heartbreak. Is a miracle possible---not only of healing but of forbidden love? What secrets lie in Bo's dreams? And will Mattie find the courage to face her uncertain future . . . or will she simply run away?
About the author:

When attending Ferris State University School of Pharmacy in Big Rapids, Michigan, she lived on the outskirts of an Amish community and had several occasions to visit the Amish farms. Her interest grew into love as she saw the beauty in living a simple life.
My Review:
Ruth Reid's latest Amish novel, "A Dream of Miracles," is her latest Amish Wonders novel and a great read. This book addresses some of the issues that result from the differences in the Amish way of life and the English and yet also a story that addresses things that we all face, including insecurities, fear and love.
Right away I was sucked into the story as it begins with Mattie dealing with her son's fever and rash, and a new doctor who she has not had treat her son before. Bo has a trying job, but he has had lots of success, but that doesn't mean he's living a happy life. I found myself completely drawn into this story and the characters' lives, as I work with as a social worker, and work closes with child protective services. This is a trying, and painful job at times, but also is rewarding at times. I feel like this made the book more personal to me as I could relate to the characters and the storyline. This is a great read, and a nice mix of romance and drama.
