Book Review
The Nanny's Amish Family, written by Patricia Johns
I liked this book a lot, and I usually pass by anything published by Harlequin, but this one
had an Amish woman on the cover, so I decided to take a chance.
It is a superbly written story about an Amish schoolteacher, Patience, and Thomas, an Amish bachelor who
was given custody of his Englischer daughter, after the death of the child's mother. The little girl's
name is Rue, and she's an interesting child. Patricia Johns has a skillful way with words, and with creating
convincing personalities in each person. Thomas feels responsible for his newly-acquired daughter, and takes
the role of daet very seriously, and prayerfully. Patience helps out a lot with the child, and helps Rue to adjust
to her new surroundings, making the transition from Englisch to Amish easier for her.

The characters in this story were solidly believable as Christians would be in real life, and
the thoughts and prayers they sent up to God were familiar, and well expressed.
This is a clean Christian Amish fiction book, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading
good Amish fiction with a bit of romance, and a lot of family values.
