He’s grateful for Martha’s help but worries things will always feel awkward with her. Yet before long, Asher realizes Martha is exactly what his family needs, and he can’t imagine his home without her.

Review:
Her Amish Patchwork Family by Winnie Griggs is a heartwarming read. It is full of love, faith, forgiveness, and understanding. Yes, it does give an outsider a view into the Amish way of life. I enjoy following the characters as they assume and stumble along the way. The flaws made them so believable. They feel real. Winnie Griggs makes it impossible to not love them all. Themes of family, second chances, and faith are strong throughout this wonderful read. It is clean, fast-paced, and engaging. The story is also an emotional tug of war kind of ride too. The book’s title fits in perfectly with this story. I highly recommend this to fans of Amish, Christian fiction, and romance genres. I love it and cannot wait to read more by this talented writer.
