Publisher's Description
Three hope-filled stories about second chances, trusting your heart, and the power of forgiveness.
Healing Hearts— Empty-nesters Levina Lapp and her husband Naaman have no children under their roof for the first time in 30 years. When Naaman leaves to visit cousins in Ohio, Levina never expected him to be gone a year. Now that he's back, will they be able to move beyond this estrangement and rekindle the fire of the love they once shared?
A Change of Heart— Leah is a writer in a community that does not encourage such fruitless endeavors. She lacks the skills necessary to be a good Amish fraa —cooking, cleaning, quilting, and gardening. Aaron is aware of Leah's short-comings, but his heart is captured by this spirited young woman. Will Leah's role as an Amish wife and mother force her to set aside her creative life—or will Aaron make an offer she never dreamed was possible?
A Choice to Forgive— Lydia has loved two men in her life. Daniel, who disappeared one Christmas Eve long ago, leaving only a note saying he wanted to live in the Englisch world. And Elam, Daniel's brother, to whom she had been happily married for 15 years. When Elam dies, Lydia gives up on ever loving again. But she is shocked when Daniel wants to return to the Order and her life. Is there enough forgiveness in her heart to overlook the past and move into a future that could fulfill her dreams?

3 Charming Stories
I was able to review Beth WisemanâÂÂs Healing Hearts, a collection of 3 stories previously published in An Amish Christmas, An Amish Gathering, andAn Amish Love.
The first story, A Choice to Forgive, centers around mother and widow - Lydia Smucker. Lydia has loved two men in her life. Daniel, who disappeared one Christmas Eve long ago, leaving only a note saying he wanted to live in the Englisch world. And Elam, DanielâÂÂs brother, to whom she had been happily married for 15 years. When Elam dies, Lydia gives up on ever loving again. But she is shocked when Daniel wants to return to the Order and her life. Daniel is finally able to make known to Lydia the truth about what happened that Christmas Eve in hopes that she can and will at least forgive him. I will not tell you if she does or not, because that would ruin the outcome of the story for you. However, I will tell you that the story reminds all of us how important trust, honesty and forgiveness are in our lives. They just might mean the difference between which path our lives take and lead.
A Change of Heart is the second novella included in the collection. Leah is a writer in a community that does not encourage such fruitless endeavors. She lacks the skills necessary to be a good Amish fraa. Aaron knows these things about Leah, but his heart is captured by this spirited young woman. See how LeahâÂÂs stories influence the people around her, and touch some hearts close to her in unexpected ways!
âÂÂHealing Heartsâ Levina Lapp and her husband Naaman are alone for the first time in 30 years. When Naaman left to visit cousins in Ohio, Levina wasnâÂÂt expecting him to be gone a year. Now that heâÂÂs back, will they be able to move beyond this estrangement and fall in love again? Even though the story focuses mostly on Levina and NaamanâÂÂs marriage and the trials and attempts to get it working again, I found it interesting how NaamanâÂÂs visit away from wife and kinner had and would impact the lives of so many people. This story is not just a reminder of how love and trust are important aspects of a strong marriage and family. Healing Hearts also reminds readers that God has a purpose for events and things that we do with our lives, even though such things are not understood at the time they happen.
I donâÂÂt want to add too much more to the summaries listed above in case I accidentally give away the endings for those of you interested in reading Healing Hearts. I was drawn into reading all 3 stories as soon as I started each one. I hope that you will be too if you choose to read this book. I couldnâÂÂt put it down and finished it in 2 days.
Once again, Beth Wiseman demonstrates through this collection of stories how well she writes and shares such aspects as love, trust, forgiveness and Faith with her readers. SheâÂÂs definitely one of the top Amish fiction authors on my reading list! IâÂÂm glad I chose this book to read and review!

Healing Hearts
This is a set of 3 novellas that were great! They are set up in one book form. Beth Wiseman, as usual, presents a great story with forgiveness and healing woven through out. I couldn't wait to find out what happened with each character, and it usually had a twist to it that made you smile. I know there is so much to the Amish community that I do not desire to live with(I couldn't have this blog in most communities!) but Beth brings out the forgiveness and humility that is their way--which I believe is really more God's way than we would like to admit. Our Lord does very plainly say---friendship with the world is enmity with God. I don't desire the rigidness that I see in some communities, but their walking in the fear of the Lord is very sound and biblical. Thanks Beth!

Mixed review on Healing Hearts by Beth Wiseman
This e-book is actually three stories in one book. Each story is based on a theme or lesson to learn. The first story is on forgivemess. A young Amish widow who is reunited with her long lost first love who had disappeared one night before their engagement and was later shunned by the village. She went on to marry his brother, made a family and life together. Unfortunately, the husband died. Months later, her first love returns and complication ensues.
I did find the story to be a page turner, and could not put it down at all. I finished within a couple of days. Unfortunately, I found the ending of the story to be very predictable and trivial with the female character to be juvenile for her 32 years. Since then, I have not read the other two stories for this reason.
At the end of the book there was a Group Discussion guide for reading clubs. It did have interesting questions to pounder on while reading the story and answer when you have completed reading the story. Especially since the questions asks you how would you apply in your life the lesson learned in the story. I thought that was a nice touch.
This was my first Amish story and I had always wondered what it was about this genre that has become so popular. I donâÂÂt know if this is the book that would have me interested in other stories of the same genre. For me, I feel it is a mix review.
