Romance is in the air, old-fashioned courtship is alive and well, and love is an eternal promise. Healing Hearts by Beth Wiseman: "He left to find himself. She found her way without him. Now Levina and Naaman Lapp are together again, feeling miles apart. Although coming home was the right thing to do, Naaman must regain the trust and respect of his wife who, in his absence, has learned to trust God like never before. Could it be that their prior years together have simply been a preface to a greater love than they have ever known?" What the Heart Sees by Kathleen Fuller: "When Ellie Chupp loses her sight in an accident – and then her boyfriend shortly after that – she believes love will never be in her future. But Christopher Miller has returned home, five years after fleeing from the tragedy that broke his heart. When Ellie and Chris meet again, sparks fly. Could true love be a matter of seeing with new eyes?" A Marriage of the Heart by Kelly Long: "Abigail Kauffman is looking for a way out; Joseph Lambert is seeking a way in. Since her mother's death, Abby has lived alone with her father and longs to escape the emptiness of the farmhouse that has never felt like home. Joseph Lambert is a newcomer in their close-knit community. Only after they find themselves suddenly married to each other do they begin to understand the tender truths of life-long love."

      "Bonnet books," or fiction set in Amish communities, continue to have strong appeal. Whether the reader is interested in the simpler lifestyle, the strong faith, or, in the case here, the finding and reclaiming of romantic love, this genre has become a staple of inspirational fiction. The three selections are equally strong in character, plot, and content. The characters struggle with good and bad decisions and with challenges to their faith. True to a good romance, everyone is happy in the end, and the reader is satisfied. Brooke Sanford admirably portrays the many characters, with the strongest showing coming out in the women's roles. One negative is distracting and ill-chosen music bridging both the chapters and the novellas, which sounds more appropriate for a 1960s TV soap opera. Overall, recommended for fiction collections especially where inspirational fiction is popular. Highly recommended for Amish fiction collections.--J. Sara Paulk, Wythe-Grayson Regional Lib., Independence, VA

      Three novellas in one book provide variations on the Amish theme. Each stands alone, though characters overlap as three couples search for love. In "A Marriage of the Heart," Abigail Kauffman forces her marriage to Joseph Lambert, a man struggling with his past in the Englisch world. They forge a tentative relationship, but both their pasts may be their undoing. Ellie Chupp, a blind Amish woman in "What the Heart Sees," must face Christopher Miller when he returns to his Amish roots seeking forgiveness for his part in causing Ellie's blindness. But can he forgive himself? One strong woman leads the way. Finally, in "Healing Hearts," Naaman Lapp returns home after a year away to find Levina, his wife of 31 years, distrustful and confused. Naaman woos her as he struggles to make amends with his children. But a mysterious man comes looking for Naaman and rumors begin to fly. Occasional dragging plot lines won't damage the book's selling power.
