Lancaster Crossroads #3
A Simple Charity
For fans of Beverly Lewis and Cindy Woodsmall, Rosalind Lauer's moving Lancaster Crossroads novel "A Simple Charity" reminds us that the greatest gifts come from the heart--and that everyday miracles make love possible.
OF ALL THE GIFTS THAT LAST,
THE GREATEST IS CHARITY.
Although she is still in her twenties, Fanny Lapp has known a lifetime of love and heartache. Twice widowed, she has a home to maintain, a renovation in the works, and a family to raise--all without a husband. Fortunately, in the Amish community, help is never far away. To ease Fanny's burdens, the bishop sends Zed Miller to the Lapp house. Fanny is drawn to kind, handsome Zed, who suffers from sins of the past. But to everything there is a season, and Fanny cannot act on her feelings while mourning her husband.
Newly returned to his Amish roots after many years in the outside world, Zed knows he must prove himself to earn acceptance from his community. Without a second thought, he picks up a hammer and sets to work helping Fanny fulfill her dream of turning an old carriage house into a women's childbirth center. Soon Zed finds himself a part of Fanny's daily chores, sharing her laughter and sorrow. Knowing that time flows like a river, running slow and steady, Zed plans to wait on his love. But when their secret is discovered, how deep will the disapproval of their community run?
A reminder that the greatest gifts come from the heart, "A Simple Charity" shines like the sun with the blessings of everyday miracles.

Fanny Lapp is only in her twenties, but she has been widowed twice. She has a family to raise and renovations to make to an old carriage house to turn it into a birthing center, but fortunately, her Amish community is ready and willing to help. The bishop sends Zed Miller to help her out. Fanny is drawn to the kind and handsome Zed, but her husband has not even been gone a year, so she cannot act on her feelings.
Zed has just returned to his Amish roots after many years of living in the outside world, and he knows he has to prove himself to be accepted by the community. Zed finds himself falling for Fanny, but he knows he will have to wait on his love. When they are both tempted to act on their feelings, they run the risk of disapproval from the community.
Although this was a rather predictable storyline, I enjoyed it. I am going through a stressful time in my life right now, and "nice and easy" stories are just what I need right now. My only quibble about this book had nothing really to do with the story; it was the cover; the main character is Amish, yet it's very obvious that the woman on the cover is wearing mascara and lip gloss.
It is the 3rd book in the Lancaster Crosswords series, but it works as a stand alone story; I had read the 1st book of the series, but missed the 2nd, and I did not feel like I was "missing" anything by skipping the 2nd book.
I won a free paperback copy of this book from Library Thing.

I so enjoyed this Amish and English story, different but rather the same, with both cultures using Midwives. On the Amish side we have Fanny Lapp, a recent widow, actually twice, still in her twenties, with young children, and some grown stepchildren all in her care. On the English side we have a young twenty some woman, Meg Harper, whom with a kind heart, finds herself in trouble.
Come visit with these young women, as they go about the joyful job of bringing new babies into this world. We travel also with these women as they go about their everyday life, and trials. We find them thrown together, and hope that they can be there for one another, with one living near Philadelphia PA and the other on the other side of the state near Pittsburgh.
With God’s help and the help of their families and community, we see how things work out, of course not always as we want. There are a few romances thrown in here, and some past jealous relationship to deal with. There is also the community’s reaction to how these people live and are kept under scrutiny. You have to wonder how some people proclaim to be of faith, and act totally different.
I enjoyed being here as they went about their lives, having dinner with them, and spending time with their loved ones.

I picked this book up at the library not realizing that it is a part of a series but as a stand alone book it was good. I may go back and read the other books in order. I find I enjoy reading about the Amish as I enjoy their deliberate way of life. With all the Christmas celebrating and excitement, I found this book was a restful oasis for me.

Great Read
I think is one of the best books I have read in awhile I so enjoyed reading this book of how the English and the Amish could get along together so good. I loved all the characters in this book this book was well written and I loved reading this is the first one I have read in this series which it could stand alone by itself I will probably get around to reading the other books in this series.

Rosalind Lauer's books give you a warm good feeling when you read, like a cup of comfort. I have enjoyed all the books in the series. There was great characters, excellent writing, and good story lines. This book though was not as cohesive as the others, and the ending felt incomplete and fell flat for me. Otherwise I would have rated this book higher. I plan to read more book by this author.

A third chance at happiness
A great story. Loved every minute of it. It was two stories in one . It makes you want to live there in that small town with love and faith in God. These Midwives work hard and deserve a lot of cedit and appreciation from those in the medical field

Fun Reaf
Even though it was predictable, it had some twists. Covered some new areas in midwifery. Glad I didn't have natural birth! Ouch!

Although she is still in her twenties, Fanny Lapp has had her share of heartbreak - she has already buried two husbands. However, she also has had her share of joy – she is raising a house full of children who she loves as deeply as they love her. Zed Miller is slowly easing his way back into the Amish community and is helping Fanny out as a way of earning acceptance. Soon Danny and Fanny find themselves attracted to each other but their love is forbidden because Fannie still mourning the loss of her husband. Englischer Meg Harper has devoted her entire life to her midwife career which has left her little time for relationships. Recent events, however, has Meg convinced she needs to rethink her life choices. Policeman Jack Woods is more than willing to help Meg change her life but is haunted by a past relationship. Can these two couples find lasting love despite the odds against them?
“A Simple Charity” is the nicely done third book in Rosalind Lauer’s Lancaster Crossroads series set in Amish country. Of the two romances in this book the Fannie/Zed one was easily my favorite. Fanny is a strong heroine, devastated by the loss of her husband, raising his children from previous marriage as well as her children with him, and acting as a midwife when needed (I found the midwife parts of the book to be extremely interesting). Zed is a quiet yet steadfast character – you will root room for him and Fanny as they fight their attraction to each other as she is still in mourning. This is a tricky bit of writing to carry off - readers could easily dislike Fanny falling in love so soon after her husband's death - but Lauer does an excellent job of making their growing love very believable. Compared to the Fanny/Zed story, the Meg/Jack story felt a little bland to me. I liked both characters and Meg’s storyline was very interesting but there was none of the uncertainty and angst that made the Fannie/Zed storyline so good.
While “A Simple Charity” can easily be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone book, I highly recommend reading all the books in Lauer’s Lancaster Crossroads series simply because they are so good.

OK, this book totally works in my Salute to Christmas Reads! Which is AWESOME! …mostly because the book is awesome and I want to give it as much attention as I possibly can!
WOW!
I didn’t think Rosalind Lauer could get any better! But it seems like every book of hers I read is even better than the last one!
With the first three books Rosalind wrote; A Simple Winter, A Simple Spring and A Simple Autumn – Rosalind introduced us to the wonderful community of Halfway and I didn’t get the chance to freak about it because I didn’t actually discover her wonderful books until the second series had already started.
I did start by reading the first series and then I was blessed to be able to go right into the next… until I had to wait for this one – A Simple Charity.
And now I’m freaking out because I don’t want it to end!
I’m hoping that either Rosalind has more planned for this series or else she’s going to start another series but with these same characters! They’re too amazing to let go of!
And Rosalind Lauer has a particular talent for blending the Amish community with the English community that makes her books so much more appealing. For those of us who don’t necessarily want to make such a drastic change, it’s exciting to think that we could just move into the community and live alongside the plain people.
It’s certainly on my own wish list!
Of course it’s also tricky because I have fallen completely and totally in love with THESE people and THIS community! It’s just too well-written! Rosalind makes her characters so real, I feel like I could go to Halfway and meet them all!
Oh well… I’ll just have to be content with them in my imagination.
I was blessed with a free copy of this book!

A Simple Charity is he third book in the Lancaster Crossroad series. I read this book as a stand alone novel, I didn't feel as though I needed to have read the other books in order to understand the story. The only downside to not reading the pervious books was that a lot of characters are thrown at you and at times it can be hard to keep everyone straight.
This was a lovely story, which follows not only an Amish family but and English one as well. This book is firmly built on Christian morals and beliefs, not only those of the Amish but those of the English. This book shows the importance of family and the simple things in life.
Fanny is an Amish women who was widowed and left to raise 6 children on her own. As a midwife to her Amish community, she decides to convert an only building on her property into a child birthing clinic. Meg is an English women who had a devastating set back as a midwife while helping deliver a child. When Meg is visiting her sister in Amish country, she is forced to help Fanny deliver a child in distress. This delivery sparks something in Meg and she begins to take on clients again. Throughout this story Meg and Fanny begin to find a place in their hearts for some very special men. This book will take you on the women's journey as they find love, acceptance, faith, and the ability to help women bring newborns into this world.

Love Conquers All!
This is the third book I have read by author Rosalind Lauer. I enjoyed A Simple Charity but it got off to a slow start for me. Still, it is worthy of four stars.
It seems as though one thing after another happens to Fanny Lapp. While she tries to honor her deceased husband and do right by him, there is one incident that she is ashamed of. Does this make her a horrible person? Her desire is to build a women’s childbirthing center suddenly comes to an end. This must not have been God’s Will.
Zed Miller wants nothing more than to court Fanny Lapp. He realizes that he must wait as Fanny is still in her mourning period honoring her deceased husband. An incident happens that makes him realize that courting Fanny may not happen. What Fanny doesn’t know is Zed doesn’t give up easily!
I took away from this story that when God is center and in control of our lives many wonderful things can happen. This doesn’t mean that the road we travel is an easy one. Each trial and tribulation should help us to realize that God wants us to have complete faith in Him.
I won this book on LibraryThing. I wish to thank Ballantine Books for sending me a copy to read and review. The opinions expressed are mine alone.

Lauer excels at writing community. She has created such memorable characters in the small town of Halfway and I love how they crisscross from one book to another. I get a thrill out of catching up with old favourites while digging deeper into the lives of new faves. Remarkably, despite this overlap, each book reads well as a standalone.
Lauer also creates stories of heart and depth and hope. Gritty at times, these are definitely real lives with realistic challenges that cause her characters to grapple with God's will in the grand scheme of things. That's what Fanny and Zed have to do as they gingerly work out their place in the community. Zed, as the outsider desperately wanting in, Fanny as a second-time widow in a town she married into...and the untimely attraction that develops between the two.
But this isn't just Franny and Zed's story. There's a secondary love story in the Englischer world of Halfway as well and the author weaves the two threads together in an incredible way. Talk about reader satisfaction!
I honestly wish I'd read A Simple Charity with pen and notebook in hand because there are so many wonderfully sage sayings dotted throughout. The wisdom of the Amish at its best. A superb novel that will entertain and inspire.

This was a very enjoyable story, and my first book by Rosalind Lauer. The mix of English and Amish storylines that converged together was wonderful. Midwives were used in both cultures, and the author did a marvelous job of conveying the joy and excitement both women had in bringing new lives into the world. The romances in the story were sweet, and I enjoyed the fact that you didn't have to read the previous novels in the series to enjoy this one. It can be read alone. A minor point with me was a feeling of disappointment to see two milder curse words used, although they were not uttered by Amish characters. I did not expect that in an Amish story, and cuss words in books is a personal pet peeve. Written very well, this book held my interest very well throughout, and was evenly paced. This will probably not be my last book by Ms. Lauer!

Rosalind Lauer is one of my favorite authors in the Amish fiction genre. I've read a few of her earlier books, and this one was very enjoyable. Even though it's the third book in the Lancaster Roads series, I feel a reader could jump right into this installment without having to read the first two. The author does a great job of presenting the backstory of the characters' lives and the community's recent events in the first few chapters of this novel.
I don't want to spoil the story for those of you who've not yet read this book by including too many details from the story. In summary, I think the characters have plenty of obstacles to overcome, plenty of success in reaching their goals, and there is a lot of young love and sweet romance in the Amish and 'English' segments of this tight-knit community.
I recommend this book for readers who enjoy clean fiction, Amish fiction, and inspirational romance. I borrowed this book from our local public library.

This is the third book in the Lancaster Crossroads Christian fiction series and in my opinion, the best of the three. It is a light, inspiring read and I enjoyed it very much. The story focuses on Fanny Lapp, a young Amish widow and midwife, and Zed Miller who recently returned to his Amish roots after living in the English world for several years. The Bishop has assigned Zed the task of doing some renovations on a carriage house at the Lapp farm. The carriage house is destined to become a birthing center for both Amish and English women who live in the community. It is truly a heartfelt story as Fanny and Zed develop bonds outside the Amish community and both learn that second chances do exist.

This is the third book in the Lancaster Crossroads series and in my opinion, the best one yet. This one revolves around Fanny Lapp, an Amish woman widowed for the second time. She helps deliver babies in her Amish community and decides to renovate and open a birthing center in the old carriage house on her property. Through the time of renovation, she becomes close to the newly returned Amish man hired to help rebuild. Fanny also meets a midwife, Meg, who decides to move to town and help Fanny deliver babies in the new birthing center. It is a story of family, friendship, and community working together to make great things happen, even in the face of hardship. I look forward to any forthcoming Lancaster Crossroads novels! I received this book as a First Reads winner on Goodreads.

A Simple Charity by Rosalind Lauer is Book Three in the Lancaster Crossroads series. It's a marvelous book and I enjoyed reading it. It's great how the author writes an Amish and an English storyline at the same time in the book and they connect perfectly. The book kept my interest and was well-written. I had no problem to keep turning the pages wanting to read this book. The author's plot brought out many facets of life that can happen to anyone. I will definitely keep reading books by Rosalind Lauer.

Welcome back to Halfway to Heaven another great book in the Lancaster Crossroads series. This book reads as a standalone; however, if you have read the earlier books you will be delighted to catch up on some old friends. There is a lot of interaction between the Amish and the Community/Englishers and a new romance has blossomed. There are some suspenseful scenes and very well developed characters. I was a bit sad to turn the last page – I wasn’t ready for my visit to end. Enjoy! NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group – Ballantine provided an advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

A Simple Charity by Rosalind Lauer is a sweet romance book set in the Pennsylvania town of Halfway. The plot includes two romances, one between two Amish and one between two "English", but throughout the book the female characters' lives intertwine through their vocation--midwifery. I liked the realistic conflicts the characters faced and learning more about Amish culture. this book is definitely worth the read. I received a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway in return for an honest review.

I thought Simple Charity was a great story. This is the first novel I have read by Rosalind Lauer and I enjoyed her style of writing. The characters were believable and the setting was desirable for the story. I really felt my heart ache for poor Fanny at times too. A wonderful read of love and redemption.
Though I have not read any other books of the series, I still did not feel lost at what was going on. I do look forward to reading those books, as well as, others by this author.
Great book!
5 stars.

I have read a lot of Amish fiction, and the quality of the writing in this novel was definitely better than most. There was also a feel of authenticity that is lacking in some of the other novels of the same kind I've read by other writers. I enjoyed the two main characters, Fanny and Meg, one Amish, the other English. I also enjoyed the story line; centering it around midwifery was interesting. The action did drag a little in the middle, but it certainly picked up in the end. This is a good romance novel that I would consider Christian without being preachy at all.

First of all, I always loved anything to do with the Amish. So naturally, despite not reading the other books in the series yet, I loved A Simple Charity. The cover is really pretty,for all three of the books, as well.
