Sarah's Garden Audiobook

" SUPER good book set on Pine Creek "

" A wonderful story of love and renewal of one's spirit. "

" Enjoyable Amish story. Lots of good insight into their lives. Loved all the charactors. "

" Sarah has always loved to garden and is old enough to be married. Even though her childhood friend as asked her to marry, she refuses. Grant Williams, a handsome yong veterinarian has left the city to work among the Amish. When he first meets Sarah he is drawn to her and enjoys getting to know her. Sarah's parents try to discourage her from having anything to do with Dr. Williams telling her that she needs to marry one of the Amish. A quick read that I enjoyed very much. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The scenery was detailed and very vivid, the thoughts of both Sarah and Grant were understandable and developed an indepth character history. It wasn't overly sentimental nor mushy but rather dealt with the struggles a young girl would definitely face when falling in love with a person who was not approved of by her parents and her community. Sarah had other struggles besides falling for the wrong man, she was also pushed into daily contact with a world that she was totally unfamiliar with and being very shy, had to build her confidence. I like that her family and the Amish community were given different personalities and characterists rather than being left as an anonymous background group. It also provided quite a bit of sly humour. Grant was also forced to choose a life path that would either include or exclude Sarah and his path was definitely unexpected. I also liked that the author included an Amish family that had left the community due to inappropriate behaviour showing that it does happen, not everything is perfect. It was definitely a good read. I look forward to more in the series. I received a copy of the book from Thomas Nelson Amish Books "

" Pretty good. A sweet innocent love story. A little predictable, but entertaining. I'd recommend it to young adult readers. "

" I read this after Lilly's Wedding Quilt, so I recognized several of the characters. Enjoyed seeing How Sarah and Jacob interacted along with Grant. "

" A new author to challenge the Amish-supremacy of Christian fiction held by Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter... typical plot and typical characters but the prose is nice. Advertised as the first part of a larger series so I'll be interested to see if the rest get published. "

" This was my first Amish fiction book. I really liked it and will read more from this author. There was good description and great emotion in this story. It reminded me of when I was young and visited Lancaster County in Pennsylvania. Good memories. I loved the Amish communities there. "

" I enjoyed listening to this book. I liked the characters, but I had a hard time believing that the characters would make the decisions they made in the story. It didn't work for me. Part of that may be because of my own beliefs, but it made it harder for me to enjoy it as much as I wanted to. "

" Great story, love the romance and the bonds of the family and friends. Nice book to listen to. Part of a series will read the rest. Sarah is a treasure. "

" Good book kept my interest "

" Wish I could give it three and a half stars. It was actually quite well written, but drama/romance is not really my thing. "

" I have a total obsession with all things Amish. This book is WAY on the cheesy romance side.... "

" I really enjoyed reading Sarah's Garden and I am now reading the next book in the series. I am looking forward to reading many more amazing books by Kelly Long! "

" A nice start to a new Amish series. And it's not set in the usual locations of eastern Pennsylvania or central Ohio either. I look forward to the next book. "

" I must say, for an Amish book, this was quite spicey! Loved it! Also my first audio book! "

" Enjoyed this book very much and have read others written by her. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I am fascinated by the Amish and appreciate that they are very hard working people. I have read a few fictional books about the Amish. ThIs story was about a forbidden love. The writer did a great job of creating a sweet passionate love between the characters. "

" It seems I've read a lot of books within the last year with the culture of the Amish religion in it. It has been great to learn more about this peaceful group of people. Sweet romance. "
