Lizzie Fisher was only married to Abraham for two years when tragedy
struck. Her husband was a widow with seven children when she married
him. He hadn't been a widow long but Lizzie was grateful when he asked
her to be his wife. You see, Lizzie has something wrong with one of her
hips and considered herself a cripple. She knew Abraham was still grieving
for his wife but this just might be her only chance at having a family of her
own. They were happy until one day when Lizzie asked him
to go up into the barn to rescue some kittens. He fell and died instantly.
THE AMISH MOTHER is the story of Lizzie trying to keep her family
together when Abrahams's brother Zack comes to the family farm. Zack
received a letter from Lizzie informing him of his brother's death as well as
the death of
Abraham's first wife. Apparently Abraham hadn't been in touch with his
family for many years. When Zack first arrives he is suspicious of Lizzie
and plans to stay on the farm for a while and see what is going on. Lizzie
is only nineteen and he isn't sure she can handle seven children by
herself. Lizzie is afraid and very nervous when he shows up. He is the heir
to the property. She loves the children as if they were her own.
What if he decides to send her away and raise the children himself?
THE AMISH MOTHER is a beautiful story of love, hope, forgiveness, and
family. Abraham's family, who had never met Lizzie before, comes to know
her and love her. When Zack first arrived he was going to take over the
family farm and raise his brother's children. As time goes on, he sees how
much the children love Lizzie and how well she is raising them. Zack is
torn as what to do.
My heart was in my throat as Lizzie was so worried
about losing all that she held dear to her heart. Rebecca Kertz does a
great job of making the reader feel that they are right there in the kitchen
with all of the characters enjoying supper. I was instantly invested in Lizzie's
character and before I knew it, I was finished with this wonderful and
heart-warming story. I cannot wait to read more by Ms. Kertz.
Amish widow Lizzie Fisher loves her seven stepchildren as
though they were her own. But her brother-in-law's
unexpected arrival on the farm has her worried. After all,
Zachariah Fisher is the true heir of the property. And he
could decide to send her away from her family and her home
of two years. Lizzie is determined to show the handsome
farmer that her physical challenges don't prevent her from
being a hard worker or a loving mother. For she finds
herself losing her heart to Zack and hopes he'll see
they're
meant to be a family forever.
