An Amish Year

An Amish Year by Beth Wiseman

An Amish Year was the first time I've ever read a novel by Beth Wiseman so I was surprised to find out it's not one story but four stories! I would consider it to be 4 short stories about different characters. I really liked this format because as a single mom it can be hard to read a whole 300+ page novel from start to finish before I forget what the beginning was about.  But when each story is roughly 100 pages, give or take, I can read the story, engage with the story and have a complete ...
