Kelly Long, Kathleen Fuller and Beth Wiseman
Christian Fiction – Amish
Book description:
Priscilla King has dreamed of being married to Chester
Lapp since she was sixteen. With the help of her sister Naomi's matchmaking
skills, Chester proposes to Priscilla on her nineteenth birthday. As the
wedding day approaches, problems emerge: an attendant with poison ivy, a failed
celery crop, and a torn wedding dress.
At the same time, Priscilla's best friend Rose is
convinced her fiancé is hiding something and she is intent on discovering the
truth at any cost.
Naomi remains hopeful that she, too, will soon find
her perfect match. When Chester's cousin shows up, there's an immediate
attraction between him and Naomi-as well as an obstacle that may just as
immediately derail their blossoming love.
Is God sending a message to stop the wedding? What is
certain is that the hearts of these three women will be forever transformed by
this touching Amish wedding.
My thoughts:
I am always a bit skeptical about books that have
multiple authors writing about the same storyline. In most cases they just do
not gel very well. There usually seems to be some glaring glitch from one story
to the next.
With An Amish
Wedding, I think we may have an exception to this trend. There are three
novellas, A Perfect Secret by Kelly
Long, A Perfect Match by Kathleen
Fuller and A Perfect Plan by Beth
Wiseman. Each story features a couple,
with the couples from the other two stories being background characters.
One thing that I did like about this book was that the
main author, Beth Wiseman, did not overshadow the other two. Kelly Long and
Kathleen Fuller’s stories held their own against Ms. Wiseman’s. Each part of
the book had its own voice, and I enjoyed that.
For a delightful journey into the divergent world of
the Amish, pick this one up!

Nice blog. As a lover of books you might be interested in the word play involved in cryptic crosswords. I am doing a series of posts on solving cryptic clues. This was the first one I did. http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2012/01/cryptic-crosswords-solving-hints-1.html Hope you enjoy.
