From bestselling authors Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, and Ruth Reid comes An Amish Home, a beautiful collection of four novellas that spread the warmth of an Amish living with every word.

A Cup Half Full by Beth Wiseman

Sarah Lantz always dreamed of the perfect home, the perfect husband, the perfect family. When she married Abram, she knew she was on her way to securing her perfect life. But all of that changes in one moment when an accident leaves her unable to walk and confined to a wheelchair, dashing all of her dreams. As Abram starts to transform their home, Sarah begins a transformation in her spirit, and she begins, once again, to see her cup as half full.

Home Sweet Home by Amy Clipston

Down on their luck and desperate after they are evicted from their small apartment, Chace and Mia O'Conner reluctantly take Chace's Amish boss up on his offer to rent them the daadi haus located on his property. They are certain they will never feel at home in the rustic cabin without any modern conveniences, and they start to blame each other for their seemingly hopeless situation. But with the help of their new Amish friends, Chace and Mia begin to enjoy their cozy cabin and realize that home really is where the heart is.

A Flicker of Hope by Ruth Reid

Fifteen years ago, Thomas and Noreen King were blissful newlyweds. Young, naive, and in love, life was rosy . . . for a while. Then trials and tribulations rocked their foundation, shattering them emotionally, and soon, their marriage was in shards. All hope for restoring their previously unshakable union seems lost. When fire destroys their home, Thomas and Noreen are left to sift through the rubble. As uncovered items from the remains of the house shake loose memories of the past, Thomas and Noreen begin to draw closer and a flicker of hope—and love—is reignited.

Building Faith by Kathleen Fuller

Faith Miller knows that carpentry is an unlikely hobby for a young Amish woman, but she loves the work and it keeps the memory of her grandfather alive. So when her cousin asks Faith to build the cabinets in her new home, Faith is only too happy to take on the job, even if it is the most ambitious project she has ever taken on. The only catch is that she has to work with her ex-fiance, Silas. As they work to build Martha's kitchen, can they put the past behind them and start to build faith in one another again?

      The concept of “home,” whether it be a place or a person, features prominently in this Amish romance anthology. Wiseman (Love Bears All Things) leads off the collection with the powerful “A Cup Half Full,” the story of Sarah and Abram, a young Amish couple who must reconstruct their ideas of both a physical and metaphorical home after a buggy accident leaves Sarah without the use of her legs. In “Home Sweet Home,” Clipston (The Courtship Basket) follows a young Englisch couple, Chace and Mia, who are given a new place to live by Chace’s Amish boss, Isaac, after they and their infant daughter are evicted from their apartment. TIn “A Flicker of Hope,” Reid (A Dream of Miracles) introduces Thomas and Noreen, an Amish couple who must find a way to recover after a fire destroys their home and their 15-year marriage. Finally, Fuller (A Love Made New) explores how Faith’s nontraditional hobby of woodworking brings her to a deeper understanding of herself and those she loves—including her former fiancé—in “Building Faith.” Each story is crafted with an eye toward evoking warmth in readers. Of particular note is Fuller’s story which not only beautifully addresses the theme, but also breaks away from the traditional Amish stereotypes for a deeper look into community.
