The Melody of Love

An Inspiring story that is so well written by a mother and daughter duo. One of the best Amish books I have read this year as it deals with real life struggles as Amelia deals with being a single parent raising a son on the ASD spectrum. I loved the sensitivity they showed as they write of her journey and the issues she learns to navigate with her son. Micah is such a sweet, sensitive little boy and he became my favorite character as he played with his chicken, Matilda. I could picture that chicken on his head and in his book bag and it brought many smiles to my face. It is a well rounded story with realistic characters that are each dealing with issues as they trust in God and learn to seek Him in all situations. I found I had a hard time putting this down and consumed it over the span of twenty four hours. Whether you are a fan of Amish Fiction or not I recommend this one as it is enlightening and contains a story that pulls on your heartstrings and also brings joy. I received a complimentary copy from Barbour Publishing. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.

I was going to just read three chapters each evening and take my time reading this book. By the second day I couldn’t put it down so I kept reading and finished the book! This book by Wanda and Lorine is a must read. It shows how Faith and Love are needed to deal with being a single mother and having a child with autism. Patience and compromise are important too. Wanda’s story showed how this single mother was able to overcome this issue and find a new relationship for her and her son.
