About the Book
Mary Yoder Is Content Despite Challenges Thrown Her Way
Full of faith, hope, and romance, this new series takes you into the Heart of Amish country.
If God wills it, Mary Yoder will do it, even if that means using crutches for the rest of her life. She was badly injured in a buggy accident as a child. Still, she is content living in the Dawdi Haus connected to her parents’ farmhouse and with her work weaving baskets and raising specialty roosters whose feathers she uses to make excellent trout lures. She is truly happy at twenty-nine, but. . .she wouldn’t mind finding a husband—if the Lord wills it. Along comes Reuben King, a Mennonite doctor. They are attracted to one another, but how could they ever be together? She’s a baptized Amish woman, so it seems impossible. Also, he wants her to have surgery to improve her mobility and lessen her day-to-day pain. She’s sick and tired of surgeries! But if God wills it, she’ll do it. And just maybe there will be a way for these two unlikely souls to connect.

Review of Mary’s Calico Hope
This book was a stand alone in “The Heart of the Amish” series and that’s why I wanted to read it. These books are whimsical, have wonderful characters, and are a breath of fresh air, especially in the summertime when reading books with a deep message but fun characters and plot lines are extra special. I enjoyed getting to know Mary, her family (especially her mom) and Reuben. They each had their own challenges to face but this book was great at continuing to point them back to growing their faith and trusting God. I loved the Amish/Mennonite element as well. Wonderful story line, great biblical truths woven in, and wonderful characters who became my friends.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review
