The Innkeeper's Bride by Kathleen Fuller is now on sale! Released on January 14, 2020, it is the third book in the Amish Brides of Birch Creek series. Now, you don't have to read them in order, but I recommend it because you get to know the other characters in the book better.
In this installment, we again meet Selah who currently lives with her brother Christian and his wife, Ruby. Selah recently came back to Birch Creek after staying with her parents for awhile. Selah is going through some difficult times. This is an interesting aspect of the story because we usually don't see this type of issue in an Amish story. Without giving too much away, Selah struggles with some problems she has and a past she can't seem to forgive herself for.
Levi Stoll and his family have settled into Birch Creek to start an inn. It's hard work but the family is excited about their new venture, They just need guests and a chance to get it off the ground. However, there's a modern hotel nearby also opening and there's going to be competition. There's room for everyone but not if someone is working underhandedly to try and ruin things for the Stolls.
Also in the story is the continuing story of Richard and Cevilla who are in the later years in life and trying to overcome their own issues, mainly Cevilla being Amish where Richard is not. However, they are in love and they don't know how they will overcome their barriers to be together.
I enjoyed this series and I really enjoyed the fact that Ms. Fuller addressed the issues in Selah's life. I also liked that there are several different story lines in the book. I think a lot of people will enjoy this. It's part romance, part drama and part just good old family life within the Amish. It's also about friendships and faith, all the good things in life.
Thank you so much to NetGalley, the publisher and to Ms. Fuller for the ARC. Make sure you get yours today.
