Written in Love

I am quite captivated by novels that include letter writing so this series really appeals to me. Written in Love is the first book in An Amish Letters Novel series and I love the way the author has set the stage for future novels. (At least I hope I'm right in making that assumption.) Because this story is filled with engaging characters and now that I have a feel for this close knit Amish community I can't wait to learn more.

Jalon and Phoebe's love story is sandwiched between a series of fast and furious letter writing. Loved the way the letters morphed into something so much more and yet for all that is said, even more is left unsaid and that leads to no end of complications.

Fuller has crafted an emotional tale of love and longing and the desperate need to be accepted. Both hero and heroine have made mistakes in their past that not only shadow their present but threaten to destroy their future. Finding their happily ever after involves digging deeper into their faith. Actually allowing the peace that comes from fully accepting God's mercy to work a change in their lives so that a relationship based on faith and love can flourish.

A compulsive kind of read that inspires and delights with promise of more to come in future novels.

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.

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.
