Summary

The concept of "home," whether it be a place or a person, features prominently in this Amish romance anthology. Wiseman leads off the collection with the powerful "A Cup Half Full," the story of Sarah and Abram, a young Amish couple who must reconstruct their ideas of both a physical and metaphorical home after a buggy accident leaves Sarah without the use of her legs. In "Home Sweet Home," Clipston follows a young Englisch couple, Chace and Mia, who are given a new place to live by Chace's Amish boss, Isaac, after they and their infant daughter are evicted from their apartment. In "A Flicker of Hope," Reid introduces Thomas and Noreen, an Amish couple who must find a way to recover after a fire destroys their home and their 15-year marriage. Finally, Fuller explores how Faith's nontraditional hobby of woodworking brings her to a deeper understanding of herself and those she loves-including her former fiancé in "Building Faith." Each story is crafted with an eye toward evoking warmth in readers. Of particular note is Fuller's story which not only beautifully addresses the theme, but also breaks away from the traditional Amish stereotypes for a deeper look into community
