Love and Promises: The Amish Midwife's Secret (Series #2) (Paperback)

Kyle Miller, who recently became a doctor, receives an unusual request from an old friend and doctor in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He agrees to extend a small favor. However, he never expected to be butting heads with the highly opinionated and noncertified Amish midwife, Leah Stoltzfus. The two clash over the use of modern medicine versus herbal remedies and both are thankful he'll only be there a short time. I enjoyed Rachel J. Good's latest story, The Amish Midwife's Secret. The story was well-paced and kept you turning the pages. Often, I guess a story's ending long before I get there. However, there were so many interesting twists to this tale that I didn't even try to guess the ending. Good's focus on the difficult aspects of life is compassionate and thoughtful. Her characters struggle with making hard decisions, facing shocking truths and accepting losses. I also appreciated the faith theme running throughout the book. The Amish Midwife's Secret is the second in the Love and Promises series, but it can be read as a standalone. I received the book from NetGalley and Celebrate Lit. However, I was under no obligation to post a review.
