About this listen

When Joel and Shani Beck arrive at their new home on Juneberry Lane in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, they're looking for peace. Joel's recently returned from Iraq and is recuperating, and Shani is just happy to have her family back together. They can't imagine any trouble with their Amish neighbors, the Lehmans, but things get off to a rocky start when their son accidently hurts Simon, one of the Lehman boys.

Timothy Lehman, a widower, is the family patriarch and demands the Beck boy work in Simon's place. Tensions escalate, but Shani can't help but be drawn to Eve Lehman, Timothy's sister, who runs the household. The two begin to form a strong friendship forged on faith and family, and things seem like they've quieted down - until Joel's single and handsome army friend, Charlie, catches Eve's eye. Suddenly life for both families becomes more complicated than any of them could have ever imagined.

Great story!

This was a great story of learning to love when life gets tough. Grace and redemption flow from its pages as you grow to love both an Amish and English family who struggle with real life issues and ask real questions and start healing from deep wounds.

Very Endearing

I enjoyed this book, new author for me, she does a great job at the story line, makes you want another book with the same characters to find out the rest of the story.

Mixed feelings about ‘Amish Promises’

I really enjoyed the plot line and characters in Amish Promises—enough to allow me to hang in there until the novel’s end. What was difficult for me was the stiltedness in the telling. Since I was listening to the novel, rather than reading it, I couldn’t tell whether the difficulty was in the nature of the writing or the narration, or both.

In the end I was glad for the lessons learned, through the experiences and perspectives of the Amish and English. Unfortunately I can’t see myself going on to the next book in the series.

Good story line.

More realistic Amish story where characters have more human personalities and work through problems and differences.
