Title: A Merry Heart Author: Wanda E. Brunstetter Publisher: Barbour Books ISBN: 1-59789-298-X Genre: Inspirational/Romance
Bitterness ate at Miriam Stoltzfus’s heart. Furious when she heard some of her Amish students talking about how mean she is, Miriam goes home and talks to her mother about it. Her mother suggests that Miriam is still pining over her lost love, William, who left their Pennsylvania community and went to a different Amish community in Ohio.
Amos Hilty has been in love with Miriam forever, and it hurt to stand by and watch his friend, William, win Miriam’s love and then dump her. Now Amos is a widower with a young daughter and he hopes to win Miriam’s heart. But Miriam thinks that he’s only pursing her because he needs a mother for his child.
When Miriam meets an ‘English’ reporter, Nick McCormick, she finds him easy to talk to and Nick makes her laugh. Will Miriam stay true to her faith and find love with Amos, or will she leave the Amish and marry Nick?
A Merry Heart is an expanded reprint of Ms. Brunstetter’s popular The Brides of Lancaster County series. Just as sweet as the original version, I wasn’t disappointed in the sweet storyline, and the pure romance.
Miriam is hurting over the jilting by her fiancé, William, and she’s unopen to love by anyone else, even though William has moved on and married another. Amos has loved Miriam forever, and he hopes to give her the chance at happiness that she deserves. A delicious sounding recipe is included at the end of A Merry Heart. $12.95. 288 pages.
