Series: Amish Dreams on Prince Edward Island #1
Author: Amy Grochowski
Publisher: Ambassador International
Release Date: June 9, 2020
Genre: Inspirational Amish Romance
A Canadian Amish farmer
A Lancaster Amish businesswoman
A Prince Edward Island foster child
Providence brings together a mismatched family, giving all three a second chance for love. Only love may never have had such a tough job.
Lydia Miller is an anomaly among her Amish people-a single woman in her 30s, running her own store, determined to forge a life on her own. But when Joel Yoder comes into town to sell his property, Lydia suddenly finds all of her hopes and dreams crumbling around her and a new opportunity placed in her lap.
Joel has his own problems. Recently jilted by his fiancée, Joel has seen his own dreams of moving to a newly established Amish community begin to falter. The new community welcomes married couples only. With his dreams quickly slipping from his fingers, Joel suddenly sees the only option he thinks he has–a marriage of convenience for both of them.
As the new couple begins life in a new settlement, they are even more surprised when a foster child in need of a home finds her way to them. Yet what will happen when the English world and the Amish world collide?

My Thoughts on Forever Home:
This is quite a unique book. You’ve got Amish who haven’t married but then have to and an English foster child is thrown in the mix too. Plus it’s the first that I’ve ever read in this unique setting as well.
Forever Home is a unique twist on the normal Amish novel that will keep you reading straight through to the last word. Enjoy! This is the author’s debut novel and I can’t wait to see what happens next for her because this one hit it out of the park.
I love a novel that pulls me in and won’t let me go. The characters became my best friends. I kept thinking I knew exactly where this book was going only to be then reading and going wow I didn’t see that coming or what just happened here!? It definitely did not behave like I thought it would.
I loved the setting. PEI is somewhere I really want to go someday so I loved reading about a community there. I think the author has a unique storyline in that she did live with Beachy Amish and has Anabaptist roots which is probably what made this story so believable. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future and can’t wait for book two in the series to come to me!
The people within this book are real. They have real problems and they go about them in real flawed ways. I loved it and highly recommend you read this book too.
