Amish Valentine by Kristina Ludwig

This is another Amish writing of Kristina Ludwig's that I have read.  I enjoyed it and it was a quick read.  I have been reading these shorter books on my Kindle as I drive to work.  I let my Kindle Fire "read to me" while I travel.

Mercy is trying to win back Samuel who caught her with another young man, an Englischer.  Mercy is also trying to straighten out her life of trying to follow the Englisch party ways.  Her sister, Rebecca has already left the Amish so that she could go to school.
Despite this Mercy is still trying to show Samuel that she has changed and is willing to conform to the rules of the Amish.

The ending is nice and what I had "hoped" for.  I enjoyed the book, short read but nicely written.

Amish Scholar: Samuel's Book by Kristina Ludwig

I am always a fan of almost all Amish books.  Although this is book #3 in the series, it is the first that I have read.  Also the first of any books by this author.

Samuel finds an opportunity for college and he has worked hard for this.  He leaves behind the family on the farm, and his love interest, Mercy.  Mercy is quite a character and not happy about the time away from Samuel, including that he is so busy with schooling and studying that he has forgotten Mercy's birthday.  He hopes the education he is receiving will fulfill his dreams of making a better farming income as they grow organic and some crops in the past had been very bad.

He also gets a taste of the life outside his community.  Will this bring him further or closer to his Amish roots.

It is a good story, kept my interest.
