When I saw that author, Anne Blackburne had released
a new book Miriam’s Little Gentleman, I wanted to read it. I’ve read a couple of her other books in The
Heart of the Amish series and enjoyed them.
When David Miller left town six years ago, he did so without any
explanation. During the time he was gone
he didn’t communicate with his family, except for his sister and a cousin. He didn’t keep in touch with friends, nor the
woman he loved, Miriam Zook. No reason was
given for his departure, nor a chance to properly say goodbye. In the wake of David’s departure there was a
lot of hurt. Pain without understanding why. Pain for Miriam, his brother Rudy, his
parents and even David himself. What
would drive a young man to leave and break all ties? After building a new life for himself and a successful
career what would draw him back home again?
I very much enjoyed Miriam’s Little Gentleman. This book has an interesting storyline with
likeable characters. The story delves
into lies, accusations, hurt feelings, trust betrayed, truth revealed, forgiveness,
faith to go on and rebuild your life. What
happens when the healing begins and relationship are threatened all over again?
I really liked the relationship with David and his family,
with Miriam and her family and the community.
It was interesting to see the artistic side of Miriam. I could almost imagine the scenes she painted
as described in the book. Miriam’s
Little Gentleman by Anne Blackburne is about faith and romance, it’s
also about family relationships, friendship, and the faith community. It was really well done. It’s a clean novel. Though the Amish community seems simple, life
and relationships can still be challenging.
If you like Amish fiction, stories that includes faith,
romance and family relationship, read Miriam’s Little Gentleman
by Anne Blackburne. I would like
to thank Barbour Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to
read a complimentary copy of this book.
I was under no obligation to give a favorable review.
