ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Her Amish Springtime Miracle

Series: Hope's Haven #2

Author: Winnie Griggs

Publisher: Grand Central/Forever

Release Date: May 24, 2022

Genre: Christian Amish Romance

In this delightful and heartwarming novel, an orphaned baby brings together an unlikely couple who learn the true meaning of family.

When Hannah Eicher discovered sweet baby Grace in her barn last spring, the adorable infant seemed like the answer to her prayers. The young Amish baker has always wanted a familye of her own and now that she’s fostered Grace for nearly a year, her adoption application is almost certain to be approved. But an unexpected visitor to Hope’s Haven could change everything…

Englischer paramedic Mike Colder is only returning to his childhood hometown to locate and adopt his late sister’s baby. But when the trail leads to Hannah and Grace, Mike’s determination falters. With Hannah, the simple life he left behind suddenly seems appealing. Despite their wildly different worlds, can Mike and Hannah give each other—and Grace—the greatest gift of all: a life together?

MY THOUGHTS.....

Hannah Eicher knows that she can never bear children, but this doesn't lessen her deep desire to be a mother. And then, she is shown the power of God's intervention when she finds an abandoned baby in her barn, along with these words on a note.

"She comes from Amish roots, and I want her to be raised within the community of Plain people rather than by the Amish."

Suddenly, Hannah is given the joy of loving and caring for a baby and it seems that fostering baby Grace may lead to Hannah becoming her legal mother through adoption. And then....an Englisher comes to Hope's Haven and Hannah's happiness is threatened once again!

This is truly a story of the heart. There are heartwarming scenes of a baby girl thrilled to see her Mamm come in the door and heartbreaking scenes when it appears that she may be taken away. There is Hannah's awareness that her feelings for Mike may be more than friendship and her struggle to remain true to her Amish upbringing. Author Winnie Griggs offers a captivating depiction of Hannah's wide range of emotions, along with her strong trust in God's Plan. Wonderful characters, a sweet romance, and the addition of several surprising twists made this a story that I couldn't put down!

This is the second book in the Hope's Haven series, but I didn't find it necessary to have read the first book. I thoroughly enjoyed Her Amish Springtime Miracle and I recommend it to fans of Amish romance novels.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book that I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
