Praise for the Novels of Naomi King "King' s lyrical style shines in a tender tale of how love and forgiveness heal broken hearts and restore a family and a community. With its Missouri setting, King offers us a knowing look into a different Amish settlement. Readers will look forward to more Cedar Creek stories. "--Marta Perry, author of the Pleasant Valley series "Abby Finds Her Calling is a heartwarming story, beautifully told, of forgiveness, redemption, and the healing power of love in its many forms: love between individuals, family love, love within a community, and God' s love. This story touched my heart. "--JoAnn Grote, author of "Image of Love" from A Prairie Christmas Collection"Naomi King writes with a heartwarming honesty that will stay with the reader long after the last page. "--Emma Miller, author of the Amish Matchmaker series "What distinguishes this from many other Amish romances is how it shows that forbearance and forgiveness take a good deal of work, and the Amish, like everybody else, gossip, bicker, and sometimes have less-than-ideal family lives. "--Publishers Weekly"Frustration and sorrow make King' s characters three-dimensional and believable. Readers of Janette Oke and Beverly Lewis will enjoy the latest in King' s Amish series. "--Library Journal"The very talented Naomi King instantly pulls you into the lives and loves in this small Amish community. . . . King has an amazing talent for developing realistic characters that have to grapple with life issues and through faith find workable solutions for themselves and others. "--Fresh Fiction "A superbly written, engaging Amish novel that will tug at your heartstrings. . . . King does a fine job of continuing to create that small-town feel. "--The Book Connection "A talented author who writes from her heart. "--RT Book Reviews
