Finding Her Amish Home

Finding Her Amish Home by Pamela Desmond Wright is a heartwarming story. I thought Finding Her Amish Home was beautifully written with realistic, developed characters. I enjoyed getting to know Maddie Baum and Abram Mueller. We also get to meet Abram's extended family plus Wanetta Graff, Maddie's landlady. Abram is a kindhearted man with a beautiful soul. He is warm, understanding, patient, and generous. It was wonderful how he related to Josh, Maddie's nephew/son and helped him. We learn about Abram's past which actually helped to make him into the man he is today. The community of Humble, Wisconsin is a charming setting. There is a warm, welcoming Amish community. I liked how Englischers, and Amish come together on Saturday evenings in the park. This is a unique Amish book. It is not your traditional story. I enjoyed how the faith element was woven into the story. It is well-done without being preachy. Finding Her Amish Home has compassion, generosity, understanding, love, faith, patience, friendship, and family. All the elements work together to deliver an emotional, tender story. My favorite phrase from Finding Her Amish Home is, "The Lord warns that we will have tribulations. Not if, but when. And faith means knowing He will hold us close as we walk through the gloom and lead us back to the light." I look forward to more stories set in Humble, Wisconsin. Finding Her Amish Home is a warmhearted tale with a belligerent boy, a caring community, sociable skating, kinship in the park, welcome work, a terrifying trouble, and a generous God.
