My Thoughts on Trusting Her Amish Heart

Sometimes I am just wanting a sweet romance.  That’s when I love these Amish fiction romance novels.  They’re just the best!  They read quickly and wonderfully.  The characters are amazing and always leave me feeling so good when I’m done reading.  Not only do they have amazing romance but they also have characters that steal your heart and a great solid Christian base. 

Need a book that you can let your teenage girl read?  Have a teenager that loves a good romance?  This is the book for them.  Plus it also has horses and what girl can resist a good horse novel?!

You need forgiveness and healing to move on in your life.  Both for us and for the characters in this novel.  The story is amazingly written.  The characters stole my heart.  It’s like the prodigal son story from the Bible but with a unique Amish twist.  You’re going to love it!

About the Author of Trusting Her Amish Heart

ACFW award-winning author Cathy Liggett is an Ohio girl who never dreamed writing would take her across the world and to Amish country, too. But she’s learned God’s plans for our lives are often more creative than the ones we imagine for ourselves. That includes meeting her husband at a high school reunion and marrying three months later–forty years ago. Together, they enjoy visiting kids and grandkids and spoiling their pup, Chaz.

More from Cathy

Trust. It’s a small word with huge implications, isn’t it?

When I think of trust, the first thing that comes to mind is our dog, Chaz. We – or rather she – rescued us when she was a little over one year old. At the time she first came into our home the poor pup was too scared to even sleep. She’d start to doze off, then jerk and open her eyes, looking all around trying her utmost to stay on guard. Now, at 13 years old, our furry gal has cushy dog beds in every room in the house. Which makes perfect sense since she undoubtedly rules our roost.

It’s been our joy to be able to spoil her all these years.

But I have to say, Chaz isn’t the only one who has had trust issues.

While penning Leah and Zach’s story, I was so happy because it took me back to Sugarcreek, and not just in spirit or through sweet memories. As it happened, my critique partners (and dear friends) decided Ohio Amish country would be the perfect spot for a writing retreat.

How could I disagree?

In the four days, we spent in a rustic cabin we got ideas flushed out and chapters written too. But we also laughed, shared, celebrated, and ate more snacks and sweets than we should have.

I’m telling you this because coming home I thought how the chance to know and share with these special women may have never happened. Many years ago, I almost didn’t say ‘yes’ to their invitation to join their critique group. I’d been working in a creative field but writing a book was something new, and they were so far ahead of me.

Can I tell you that as I sit typing this, I’m so thankful I shared my writing and myself with them?

As just noted, like Leah and Zach, I know it’s not always easy to open up and trust. But, also like the two of them, I’ve learned when I do trust God and the special people (and pups) He sends into my life, those relationships can be beyond rewarding.

Oh!

And lastly – if you’re in the mood for something sweet like the characters in this book, here’s the recipe for the “Chocolate Chip Cake” they all raved about.

It’s quick, easy and delicious. Trust me!

Chocolate Chip Cake

Ingredients:

1 box Duncan Hines yellow cake mix

4 eggs

½ cup oil

1 cup water

a scant 1 teaspoon vanilla

1 package vanilla instant pudding

6 oz. package of chocolate chips

3 Tablespoons confectioner’s sugar

Floured tube pan

Wax paper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour tube pan and line bottom with wax paper.

Set aside 3 Tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar. Mix everything else together except for chocolate.

After mixing, fold in all chocolate chips and ¾ of the grated German chocolate.

Add to pan and bake for 1 hour (a little prior to 1 hour, check for doneness).

Mix the remaining ¼ of the grated German chocolate with the 3 Tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar. Sprinkle this chocolate sugar mixture on top of the cake. Bake 3-4 minutes longer.

Remove from oven and cool thoroughly.
