kcjeanetteColumbus, MSAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5WONDERFULJanuary 22, 2011kcjeanetteColumbus, MSAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Amish Midwife, Women of Lancaster County Series #1.WOW! What a great read! To be very honest I was not a hugh fan of Mindy S. Clark's other books that took place in Lancaster so I was a bit afraid of trying another one, but I must say what a great job she did with this one. The story line about adoption and how some families absoutely do not and will not talk about it was dead on. I fould I could not put this book down. She kept you guessing with each and every page. There were times I wished she had a family tree at the front of the book so I could keep track of who was who but as I read I then realized that it would of spoiled things for me. This was such a great story line and so very easy for anyone to relate too. Ten thumbs up!

Pam BurkePotosi, MOAge: 55-65Gender: Female5 Stars Out Of 5A suspenseful Amish storyMarch 25, 2011Pam BurkePotosi, MOAge: 55-65Gender: FemaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Amish Midwife, Women of Lancaster County Series #1.The Amish Midwife by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould is a real page-turner, a suspenseful Amish story that keeps you guessing until the very end. Like Mindy's other Amish books, this one has a little extra twist to it. This one involves a main character who is an outsider but finds a close connection to the Amish, not necessarily known at the beginning of the story.
Lexie Jaeger has a good life in Oregon as a nurse-midwife. She grew up as an only child, knowing that she was adopted, but with few details of her roots. After her dad shares a small piece of information just before his death, Lexie feels compelled to find the truth about her biological family. She leaves her practice, her childhood home, and James, the man who loves her and waits for her to come back to Oregon.
Lexie's search leads her to Marta Bayer, a lay-midwife serving mostly Amish women in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Marta obviously has answers to many of Lexie's questions, but her own problems keep her from giving Lexie what she wants. Lexie finds herself reluctantly drawn to help Marta, as she becomes involved with several of the Amish people and with Sean, a local doctor. As Lexie presses forward and finds the pieces to her story, the ripple effects are much greater than she could ever have imagined.
I would definitely recommend The Amish Midwife to fans of Amish fiction and to those who have never tried the genre but simply enjoy an intriguing story. It is a great story about love, forgiveness, and the freeing power of the truth. I am looking forward to the next installment in The Women of Lancaster County series due to come out in July. -

churchlibrarianNorthern MichiganAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Very good strong Christian faith messageMarch 14, 2011churchlibrarianNorthern MichiganAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for The Amish Midwife, Women of Lancaster County Series #1.This storyline is wonderful, with depth of character and realistic events and emotions. This is the best "Amish" story that I've read portraying everyone with human flaws, and yet giving a great encouragement to the reader to make God the director of our lives. This book also shares information about mid-wives, and Amish and Mennonite histories and teachings. I love learning things while being entertained in an adventure. A most entertaining and inspirational story - it gets the highest rating!
