If I left by Becca Fisher

In this story Sadie, an Amish girl, has applied to go to college and is accepted.  She is in the hopes that she can convince her sister, Hannah, to join her and stay with her in the English world.  The answer comes to Sadie from her sister and in a very short time the book ends and is continued in another volume.  It was very short.  It was fund to read and I felt bad that it ended before I was able to have read very much.  I do prefer a book with more pages, whether it continues or not.

She is an interesting author, but would prefer a real book to read rather than a short story.  But it was free at the time and so I really can't complain, can I?  I would give this 3 1/2 stars.

Graceful Amish Christmas by Becca Fisher

This was another quick read on the way to and from work as my Kindle read me the story of  Grace,  and her husband as well as her quilt shop.

Grace feels obligated to work the quilt shop that at least two generations have been working.  The stress is killing her and isn't great for her marriage, either.  Her employee, Evelyn seems to be having similar problems plus even a few more.

As her mother asks her to find a job for a family member, Beth, who has found herself without a job, Grace hesitates, yet agrees, only to find that Beth is exactly what was needed to bring the business back to where it should be.

What does Grace want for Christmas?  Read the book to find out.  This book is about overcoming problems in life and learning to appreciate those of our family.

It was a short read and I finished it in maybe 1 hour or slightly more.  It was nice but not amazing.  A pleasant read and enjoyable, but not spectacular.  I would recommend it for a quick, light read.  About 4 stars.

Chasing Heaven by Becca Fisher

This Amish novella was also a freebie at the time I got it.  Some things didn't seem really Amish to me and it lacked depth for the characters.

It's a an Amish family with a sister getting married, another leaving the "nest" for the English world, and others still at home hoping to find the place in life with an Amish young man.

Found a few typos in it.  It was alright but I think it could have been better if perhaps some more Amish life and culture were in the book.

3 stars.
