TWO BOOK GIVEAWAY

CONGRATULATIONS TO
JUDY AND ANNE
WINNERS OF LEAVING LANCASTER AND PENNSYLVANIA PATCHWORK!
 
I'm thrilled to offer a two book giveaway this month. I've read these books and you won't be disappointed.  The first one is "Leaving Lancaster" by Kate Lloyd and the second one is "Pennsylvania Patchwork" by Kate Lloyd. All you need to do is be a follower, leave your email address, and leave a comment about Amish Fiction to be entered into the drawing. 

 
 
 
More than anything else, thirty-something Holly Fisher longs for family. Growing up on Seattle without a dad or grandparents, she wonders what it would be like to have a heritage, a place of belonging. Holly is furious when her mother, Esther, reveals a long-kept secret: Holly's grandmother and uncles are still alive and begging Esther to return. And Holly is shocked when she learns that the family she's never known lives on a Lancaster, Pennsylvania, farm - as part of an Amish community her mother once abandoned.
 
Guilt-ridden Esther, terrified to see her mother and siblings, begs Holly to accompany her on a visit to Esther's mother before she dies. But can their journey to a conflicting world heal their emotional wounds and finally bring them home?
 

 
 
 
Pennsylvania Patchwork, sequel to Leaving Lancaster
 
 
 
When Holly Fisher finally meets the Amish family her mother had kept hidden from her, she come face-to-face with her real-life legacy - and it's very different from the life she led in suburban Seattle. She loves it.
 
And she loves Zach, a handsome Mennonite veterinarian who proposes marriage. He seems to be everything she's ever wanted in a husband. But her mother and Amish grandmother think she's rushing into a commitment with a man she barely knows and who harbors a dubious past. When Holly meets a charming Amish man and an old suitor shows up, so do a myriad of doubts. Will Holly figure out what - and who - truly matters before it's too late?
 
 
Kate Lloyd
 
 
A native of Baltimore, Kate Lloyd spends time with family and friends in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, the inspiration for Leaving Lancaster and Pennsylvania Patchwork. She is a member of the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society and has done extensive research on the Amish. Kate and her husband live in Seattle.
 
 
HAPPY READING!

  5. I like Amish fiction because the people in them have a strong faith. Pennsylvania Patchwork sounds as though it would have an interesting conflict with a city girl discovering her Amish roots.

  10. I have not been reading Amish fiction long but am thoroughly hooked! I have not had the opportunity to read books by Kate Lloyd, but would be thrilled to win the above mentioned books.

    I was looking for rules for sign up to find out if this was open to Canada before signing up, but couldn't find them. So if it is open to Canada please sign me up. If not, I understand.

    Thanks for this wonderful offer.

  11. The first Amish fiction book I read was Levi's Will by Dale Cramer. It was an excellent introduction and similar to Kate Lloyd's story about a person who leaves the life behind and goes back to visit family. I would love to read this story, too, to see the contrast since the Cramer book was written from the male perspective.

    Thank you for the chance to possibly win these two books. I am a follower and subscriber who thoroughly enjoys your beautiful photography.

  26. I wanted to thank everyone for their comments. I really enjoyed reading them. I too enjoy Amish Fiction - I think because it does remind me of a simpler time. I'd love to visit an Amish community. Thanks again and be sure and stop by for more giveaways!
