This book is so good! It's well written and will keep you turning the pages. Rebecca and Samuel's story is full of hope and inspiration. I feel in love with Lizzie and Josh. This is a must read book, in my humble opinion. Thank you  Forever (Grand Central Publishing) via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

I love Lizzie, her love of life and excitement! Rebecca is such a sweet, caring person and midwifery comes so natural to her. I like that the author gave Rebecca and Samuel time to sort out their feelings after the unexpected loss each had had. The simple love of the Amish, with all their love and hope is beautifully described in this novel. The recipes are a welcomed bonus. Recommended!

The Amish Midwife's Hope is a great wholesome read. Like any other Amish romance read I like when it has a HEA ending and makes me have strong faith even more than I already do. This was just that it was a great book.

Loved loved this book because the main theme of this book is Hope. Even after all that has happened in Rebecca's life the Lord still has a plan for her. I love that God isn't done with us even if we have lost loved ones or have gone our wayward ways. He loves us no matter what! This is what I love about Amish novels. They offer hope at the end of a long dark tunnel no matter what situation you may find yourself in.
I felt Rebecca's pain. Or at least some of it. It's never easy even when you have your work to help you through it or other people in the community to help with your needs. Sometimes, memories come back to haunt you when you least expect it. It happens to me from time to time. I'll be doing something and then bam! They come from out of nowhere! Ever happened to you?
In many ways  the simplicity of Amish life fascinates me. Like how they help one another and the food especially! I believe I found myself drooling at every meal Rebecca and Samuel had. Some of the meals are my most favorite! The Amish are great cooks!
In my honest opinion Lizzie and Josh stole the show so to speak. It seems like the children are the ones who forgive the easiest and they are the ones who grieve the hardest in their own way. It's never easy to understand why God does what He does or why certain person were taken. Only God knows those things. 
I loved how the little boy worried about his mom Hannah. My heart went out to him and I sighed with relief when all was well. 
I'm going to end the review here. I don't want to spoil the book for you but I will say that I finished well after midnight. It was so good! 
When Cameron comes out with a story which isn't often, you know you're going to get an awesome read! Her books never disappoints me either. More please!
Wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. It certainly deserves it. 
The cover is beautiful too! It makes you curious in what the character is thinking about as she's looking at the precious baby. 
Highly recommend!

5 stars for sure!

Young widow, Rebecca Zook, who is a midwife, wonders if she will ever find love again and have her own family.

Widower, Samuel Miller, who lost his wife and baby in childbirth, moves to Paradise, PA from Indiana after his uncle wills his farm to him.  He is glad to make this move in hope that it will help him and his young daughter, Lizzie, to leave the sorrowful memories behind and start a new life.  

When Samuel meets Rebecca, there is an instant connection, however, when he finds out that she is a midwife, all of his hopes and dreams seem to be dashed as her profession, which she dearly loves, brings back all the hurts and fears from losing his wife.

Will he be able to overcome these feelings and start a new life with Rebecca?

This is a very enjoyable, quick read.  I highly recommend it.

I received a copy of this book from Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley.  The opinions expressed are my own.

Rebecca is a widow and a midwife in her Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, community.  Samuel is a widower with a young daughter, who has recently moved to Lancaster from Indiana after inheriting a farm. Both have been widowed for about two years and are open to the thought of marrying again.  

 This is a pretty formulaic book where boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy dumps girl, boy gets girl back.  Samuel has a problem with Rebecca's vocation because his wife and son died in childbirth.  While it wasn't the midwife's fault his wife died, he still has a problem with midwives in general.  The problem is that his daughter, Lizzie, falls in love with Rebecca, and as he gets to know Rebecca more, he falls in love too.  But when his sister begins her labor in the midst of a snowstorm, he has incredible reservations about his sister's safety in Rebecca's hands. 
Barbara Cameron has written a sweet book, but the formula makes the story a bit trite.  It is a fast read, and the story lines are easy to follow.  Three and a half stars--rounded up to four. 

Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for this review.  All opinions expressed are my own.

I feel honored to have been invited by the publisher to read and review The Amish Midwife's Hope.  The Amish Midwife's Hope is a beautiful story of finding love again after being widowed, and it is a story told in a very touching style by Barbara Cameron.  I really love her writing style and I always look forward to a new book from her.   In The Amish Midwife's Hope,  Rebecca, a midwife in one of the Pennsylvania Amish communities, meets Samuel and his daughter Lizzie, new to her community.  They enjoy an instant connection and attraction, yet he is at first standoffish once he realizes she is a midwife -  due to his sadness from losing his first wife to complications of childbirth.   It takes some time and gradual friendship between Samuel and Rebecca before he realizes the importance of taking risks to find a new love. I really enjoyed reading about Rebecca's feelings and experiences as a midwife.  Her personality in the novel is that of a person i could easily see myself enjoying a conversation and a cup of coffee with.  Ms. Cameron developed such relatable characters.  In summary,  The Amish Midwife's Hope is a novel I 100% recommend for fans of Amish novels.
