DonnasBookshelfTennesseeAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5It is so easy to get involved with Suzannes characters.September 16, 2014DonnasBookshelfTennesseeAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I snuck right into the story from the beginning I could see the beautiful view from the hill, and stood with Rose as she prayed, asking God to look down and let her know what she ought to do then she saw a shooting star!
It is so easy to get involved with Suzannes characters; although Ive never lived in Pennsylvania, I found myself identifying with them.
This is such an amazing series Rose is one in a million! A member of the Mennonite church, she married a divorced man with two older children and continued to care for them after his death. Now theyre grown and one is in trouble but Rose continues to pray for him.
After her husbands untimely death, Rose joins the Amish church and moves in with his Amish mother to care for her and the family.
When the financial burden becomes too much, she gets permission from the Bishop to create a small apartment in the basement to rent. Will she ever be able to relax?
Suzanne doesnt think twice about showing the pain and difficulties that people go through apparently even Amish families! And the difficulties arent cleared up easily, as one would presume.
Even so, I have been so blessed by this book. Its truly inspiring!
Even when I got to the end of the book, and I was left wondering about Tobe, Jake, Dean, Vera, Delia and Charles, Rose and Galen, Bethany and Jimmy, Mim and Danny.
and I couldnt wait to read the sequel. -
T Cramer5 Stars Out Of 5You will be drawn inSeptember 6, 2014T CramerThis is the first Amish fiction book I've read. To be honest, I was so pleasantly surprised and truly enjoyed it! The characters are very well developed, each with distinct personalities who are so easy to like. If you've never read Amish fiction and are looking for a book to try, I highly recommend this one. If you love Amish fiction, you'll love this book too! It contains both mystery and romance and the characters are of different generations for all to enjoy.

Judy K BurgiKendallville, INAge: 55-65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5A Place Where Miracles Happen!March 21, 2014Judy K BurgiKendallville, INAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I am a huge fan of author Suzanne Woods Fisher. This book did not disappoint me at all. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters in this book. It wasn't hard to fall in love with them, even the sharp tongue Mammi Vera.
What caught my interest right from the start was the back and forth between the Amish world and the English world. Both worlds had plenty of obstacles to overcome.
We know that God allows us to go through illnesses, heart breaks, and devastation. We also know that God has promised to go through them with us.
There are choices to be made, people to love, pasts to leave behind and forgiveness to extend.
This is a book that will tug on your heartstrings and allow you to dream about a place called, The Inn at Eagle Hill.
I highly recommend that you pick up a copy today. You will be glad you did! -
Julieanne MillerOregonAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Strong faith in a complex worldSeptember 13, 2013Julieanne MillerOregonAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5The Letters is an Amish story, an Amish family with many complicated problems to solve, and an interesting view on their lives as God-fearing people who want to do the right thing but keep running into obstacles. Young girls (and some men) looking for love and hoping to fulfill their dreams are often thwarted in their goals and have to look at alternatives.
Rose Schrock is a widow raising four children (five actually, but the oldest ran away from home and hasn't yet returned). Rose was left with some very troubling business problems by her late husband and she has taken it upon herself to make everything right, even if it takes the rest of her life to do so. She is living with her mother-in-law who is suffering from something affecting her brain and thus, her thinking, and she has become very difficult to live with. The family is very close, very loyal to one another, and very caring about each other's burdens.
Rose decides to make their house into a bed-and-breakfast and with a neighbor's assistance, accomplishes this in a beautiful way. Her very first guest, an "Englisher" is a woman who comes to their home with a huge pack of troubles herself. The bed-and-breakfast soon becomes an oasis for this woman and she, in turn, is able to assist Rose in overcoming some of her own fears.
There are many twists and turns for this family, with each member of the family facing their problems in special ways. It is a fun story and brings smiles–and tears–to the reader. How they eventually work out their problems with the help of God and His people is well worth reading about. Rose is told by a friend, "Things can get good again," and her realization of this truth brings much peace to her heart. -
