A Love for Irma Rose by Beth Wiseman

The year is 1957, and young Irma Rose has a choice to make. Date the man who is “right” for her? Or give Jonas a chance, the wild and reckless suitor who refuses to take no for an answer? Irma Rose steps onto the path she believes God has planned for her, but when she loses her footing, she is forced to rethink her choice.

Where Healing Blooms by Vannetta Chapman

(Previously published in An Amish Garden)

Widow Emma Hochstetter finds her quiet life interrupted when she discovers a run-away teenager in her barn, and then the bishop asks her to provide a haven for a local woman and her two children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotionally gripping...& I couldn't get enough of these characters!
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018
Verified Purchase
An Amish Spring is another wonderful collection of inspiring Amish stories. Each tale has its own path of love, faith, and lessons to learn.

In the first journey, I followed a young Amish couple struggling to be happy. The wife felt to blame yet for having her first child out of wedlock. She felt that she owed it to her son to provide for him when he is grown.  Yet what she doesn't realize is just how much her husband loves her son as the son where his biologically. It was a sweet story.

The second journey, sent me to a very young Amish couple once more. This young couple felt an instant attraction. However, the young Amish girl didn't think the Amish guy who loved her was the right one. Jonas was a little bit more rough around the edges for an Amish plain man. But it made the story more interesting and real. I couldn't stop laughing with Jonas around.

Last but not least, the third journey sent me to another Amish couple who needed each other. This time they were older. I felt their connection immediately. Their love and faith was fun to follow. Overall, each of these stories had something to show me. I fell in love with the characters both English and Amish alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars loveable characters!
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2018
An Amish Spring is a compilation of novellas that were previously released in different collections. A Son for Always by Amy Clipston was previously published in An Amish Cradle. A Love for Irma Rose by Beth Wiseman was previously published in An Amish Year and Where Healing Blooms by Vannetta Chapman was previously published in An Amish Garden.

I had read A Son for Always and Where Healing Blooms in the previously mentioned books but it's been since 2014. I had never had the opportunity to read A Love for Irma Rose. I could link to my previous reviews but honestly, they're terrible. Trust me, you don't want to see them. They're from my days when I gave a synopsis of the story rather than my thoughts and opinions.
So, now that I semi-sorta have the hang of what a review actually is, I thought I'd take the time to share my actual thoughts and opinion.

A Son for Always:
Carolyn's character is unique in that you don't often hear about Amish girls having a child out-of-wedlock. I appreciated her journey to forgiving herself and learning to place trust in her husband to provide for her older son. I loved how sweet Joshua was with Carolyn's oldest son as well as his new daughter. I thought his mom was a meddling witch but even she came around. These were characters I couldn't help but love.

A Love for Irma Rose by Beth Wiseman
I loved Irma Rose and Jonas in another series by Beth Wiseman. I might be writing this review at midnight after I worked all day and went to school—so, don't expect me to remember which series they're in. The point is, this is their backstory and you meet them as parents/grandparents in another fabulous series by Beth Wiseman. I loved getting to know their love story. I didn't even mind the love triangle/pentagon, octagon, whatever it was. Irma Rose had a few options. But she chose Jonas /heartmelt

Where Healing Blooms by Vannetta Chapman
The characters in Where Healing Blooms were really complex and detailed. I loved that they had a fairly detailed family tree that was fleshed out and enjoyable—and in a novella. That takes some skills! Anyway, this was a really sweet romance/historical story. This story wasn't just a romantic love story. It was also a familial love story. The bond between Emma and her Mother-in-Law was so endearing. I truly felt that their love for each other was given focus and I never see that in books. I always observe romantic love...never love that families have for one another.

Overall, I loved the characters in each of these novellas. The book reads really fast and each one of the stories is so well done. This is a book that I would love to read again in the future.

This book was provided to me by The Publisher. I was not required to write a positive review, and have not been compensated for this. All opinions are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great novella collection
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2018
Three powerhouse Amish Fiction authors share their talent in this captivating collection of springtime romance. From young love to to mature romance, these stories embrace the hope of spring in diverse ways.

Amy Clipston's Carolyn struggles to be truly free from the shame of her past so she can embrace a future with her husband and the child they are expecting. Fans of the Hearts of the Lancaster Grand Hotel series will recognize Carolyn as the heroine of book two. I was thrilled to get a glimpse into her future with Joshua. She's still as infuriatingly stubborn! A Son for Always is a great addition to that memorable love story.

Readers of Beth Wiseman's Daughters of the Promise series will be thrilled at this glimpse into grandparents Jonas and Irma Rose's rocky courtship 53 years ago in A Love for Irma Rose. Sweet and funny...and poignant if you've read these books.

Vannetta Chapman has really embraced the concept of new beginnings in Where Healing Blooms. Love the sense of community in this novella and how events unfold to bring something new into Emma's life after a turbulent season. Uplifting and inspiring...I think this novella is my favourite of the three.

Cautionary warning for fellow readers -- Please note that these novellas have appeared in other collections as well so you might want to check before buying. See note under individual novellas for the title of the other book that novella appears in.
