Publisher's Description

▼▲

"Dear Mr. Chupp"–with those three words, a pen-pal relationship is ignited and two lives are changed forever.

Jalon Chupp has a past he isn’t proud to claim. He’s worked hard to overcome his youthful mistakes, and he has recommitted himself to his Amish faith. When he receives a sweet note included in a piece of misdirected mail, he can’t help but write back. Soon, the letters he receives from Phoebe are the highlights of his days, and with a hopeful heart, he suggests they meet in person.

Phoebe, too, looks forward to every single one of Jalon’s letters. Living with her overbearing aunt, Phoebe doesn’t have too much to look forward to. Then Jalon suggests they meet, and she panics—although she has shared some of the deepest longings of her heart with him, she hasn’t been entirely truthful about her past. But when Jalon shows up at her aunt’s doorstep, everything is revealed. And she can only pray he’ll forgive her for holding back the truth.

In order to reach beyond the errors of their pasts, both Phoebe and Jalon must put their faith in something—or Someone—bigger than either of them could pen.

I absolutely loved this newest book from Kathleen Fuller! It caught my attention right from the start as the two main characters start off as pen pals. Neither Phoebe nor Jalon realize they are each other's life lines as they accidentally become pen pals, but then end up turning into so much more! I just kept wanting to read more to see what would come of their letters and their relationship!

A wonderful story of struggles, faith, forgiveness, and finding hope when all seems lost!

This is an Amish author and book you don't want to miss!

Written In Love by Kathleen Fuller is the first book in the new Amish Letters Series. I enjoyed getting to know Phoebe and Jalon through their pen-pal letters. Jalon is not proud of is past and has worked hard to put that behind him and rededicate his Amish faith. One day he recieves a note that was included in a piece of mis-directed mail. He starts to look forward each day for a letter from Phoebe and steps out in faith asking that they meet each other.

Phoebe lives with her aunt and also looks forward each day to Jalon's letters. When he suggests they meet, Phoebe panics. She also steps out in faith and shared some of her heart, but has not been entirely truthful about her past.

When Jalon arrives at her front porch, everything is revealed. For the both of the to move on, they put their faith into God.

I absolutely loved the book and loved how both Jalon and Phoebe's faith starts to grow knowing God has plans for their lives.

I received Written In Love from The Fiction Guild to read and review for an honest opinion.

This is a sweet story of two people who have made big mistakes, but are turning their lives around. Phoebe is in a tough situation, complicated by the secrets she and Jalon are keeping from each other. Following their story through misunderstandings, guilt, and insecurities into trust and faith was a delight. I also enjoyed seeing characters from previous books. While I find myself not fully engaging with the characters in this or the previous works Ive read by this author, I think that may be in good part due to my being new to Amish fiction.

This review refers to a finished copy received through Thomas Nelson and Zondervans Fiction Guild. All opinions expressed are my own.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept my attention from the first few pages. I really liked the main characters. They were imperfect, realistic, and relatable characters.

Jalon and Phoebe become pen pals because of a mistake by the post office. They decide to meet each other in person. I really liked the main characters. They were imperfect, realistic, and relatable characters. Will they be able to move beyond their past mistakes and see what God has in store for their lives?

I highly recommend this book! You will really enjoy it. I can't wait to read book #2 in this series.

WRITTEN IN LOVE is the first book in Ms. Fuller's newest series. Ms. Fuller is a hit or miss author with me, and this story was a hit. I absolutely loved the premise behind this story and couldn't wait to see where it goes.

I hurt for both Jalon and Phoebe as they both had their problems to work through. I was a bit mad at Jalon for being judgmental with Phoebe for withholding information about her past, especially when he did the same thing. He withheld information pretty much all the way through. But the way it ended was sweet and I hope that we'll see more stores with some of the other characters, such as Adam and Karen and maybe Jalon's sister.

A beautiful romance filled with hope even when everything went wrong that possibly could. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read the next book in this series coming later this summer.

If you like Amish romances, be sure to pick up WRITTEN IN LOVE by Kathleen Fuller. A great read. "I was provided a free copy of this book. All opinions are my own."
