My Thoughts on This Book:

 

Three short stories entertwined by three wonderful Christian Fiction authors. Each author writes a novella which includes three total to make up this book. Even though you could read each one individually on its own they blend together nicely. Each author brought together a story of an amish family that lived in the community of Paradise, Pennsylvania. First two stories shows the power of love, and the third shows the power of family. I couldn't put the book down until I read all three. Even when you're done with the book, they've blessed us with yummy Amish recipes and home remedies at the back of the book. Recipes that were shared throughout the stories. I loved how they were novellas but the stories weren't lacking at all. I did find it interesting though that after reading the first story, and head on to the other two, both of those books mention the previous characters from the other novellas but don't share any details about them from the previous stories. In a way that's good if you want to read them in any order but it kind of lacked the flow of the story because it didn't share the endings from the other books. Otherwise that, I loved them. Three great authors, three great stories..
