Her Secret Amish Child
An Amish Second Chance
Newly widowed Lizbeth Mullet has a secret: she's never told anyone the true identity of her son's father. Not even now that she's come home to Pinecraft and the man in question is her new landlord. Fredrik Lapp may not know Benuel is his son, but the two soon form an unmistakable bond. And seeing Fredrik again stirs feelings Lizbeth had worked hard to bury. With Fredrick's affections resurfacing, too, the burden of Lizbeth's secret is only getting heavier. Revealing the truth could mean a lifetime of happiness together--or the loss of her second chance at forever.

Dark shadows bruised the tender skin under her eyes. He regretted his uncharitable thoughts. This poor woman needed cheering up and he was just the man to do it.
This book is really good, despite it's stupid title. I highly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in reading an Amish romance.
The book focuses on Lizbeth and her four-year-old-going-on-five son, Benuel. They are finally free from Lizbeth's abusive husband and mother-in-law. Her bastard husband died in a drunken accident. She is going home to Florida to be with her father and her birth-community. Both she and Benuel have suffered greatly under Jonah's abuse. Her finger has never healed where it was broken and Jonah also beat the children out of her while she was pregnant, then blaming her when they died a few days after birth. Her mother-in-law would chain her to the bed and keep her isolated. Things were bad. Luckily she and Benuel have escaped and gone back to Florida, but not without the long-term emotional and physical damage this kind of treatment leaves.
What Lizbeth is hiding from everyone is that Benuel is Fredrik's son. Fredrik is one of the boys she grew up with in her community. One night when he was drunk during rumspringa, she took advantage of him and ended up pregnant. He has absolutely no recollection of this.
So. That's the set-up.
I love books about women escaping their abusers and ending up happy with a good man. It's not realistic, but it makes me happy to read about. So the book already is starting off on a good foot with me.
I really, really enjoyed this book. Williford is a great writer and she did not spare the emotion in here. Also, she allows the leads to have a sexual interest in each other, unlike Davids's His Amish Teacher. For those of you worried about sexual content - only wanting clean reads -, don't worry. It's just some casual stuff like admiring Fredrik's strong muscles and enjoying his blue sparkly eyes. But I was relieved that these Amish characters are portrayed as humans (complete with a sex drive) and not sexless creatures as Davids seems to view them.
Besides the attraction, Williford humanizes the Amish in a lot of other ways. Her portrayal of Amish life is realistic and understandable. Instead of making a fake, idealized, uber-Christian lifestyle, Williford infuses her book with an Amish community that is realistic and nuanced. The characters aren't perfect, they have distinct personalities, sometimes unpleasant.
She also portrays a 'work or die' mentality that was absent in the more fairy-tale version of the Amish Davids was building. These characters actually worry about finding employment and paying bills. It's obvious it takes money to live and is less of a money-less utopia than sometimes presented. I liked this. I liked seeing Lizbeth struggle to get a job. She has to pay to rent a house. She has real worries that real people can relate to.
The book is Christian, but I don't feel like it is shoving Christian doctrine in your face. Whereas a lot of Amish romances can't stop mentioning God multiple times on each page, Williford is much more low-key. The mentions of prayer and Bible verses are few and far between, easily swallowed by the reader and not intrusive. It's clear Lizbeth and Fredrik are Christians without Williford becoming preachy or overbearing. And they struggle with their faith just like any religious person does. It's not presented as the Amish being perfect paragons of virtue.
I really enjoyed the food talked about in here, and I really enjoyed the smattering of Pennsylvania Dutch Williford sprinkles liberally throughout the book. I thought it was fun. :)
And let's talk about the hero. Actually, both Lizbeth and Fredrik are good protagonists. Fredrik is very real. He is like a real person. I highly enjoyed his cheerful, can-do attitude. When he has a problem or setback, he just grins and rolls up his sleeves and sees it as an opportunity. This is very attractive. Cheerful men who get shit done are hot. He shows mercy to Lizbeth and her son in the end of Chapter Two! Merciful men are a huge turn-on to me. So I did like Fredrik a lot. But he's not perfect: his goofiness can overwhelm and annoy Lizbeth at times, and he has a little bit of that ignorant male attitude that comes from not having suffered much in life. A good and slightly flawed character, I approve.
Lizbeth is the same, fully developed and well constructed by Williford. She has so many doubts. I really like the fact that Williford often has her question her parenting abilities and wonder if she is making the right choices for her son. Parenting is hard, there is no manual and often times you wonder if you are severely fucking up. I liked this. Williford doesn't pretend that as soon as a child is born you are transformed into a perfect mother. This is very rare, especially in romance novels, and it was very refreshing. Even though Lizbeth had such a piece of shit as a husband, her Amish upbringing taught her to obey and forgive. It's hard for a non-Amish person to understand her forgiving attitude toward her dead husband, but I found it to be another realistic touch by Williford. And this guy was very very bad. Not just a bit bad, I mean he was extremely abusive. Even though Lizbeth has been through some truly horrifying stuff, Williford does not present her as broken. She's hurt, but she is strong and she has a strong will. You can see that she is going to fight to have a great future with her son. The book isn't maudlin or focused on her suffering; instead it focuses on her moving forward and trying to mend both herself and her abused child.
Benuel has ADHD and is also a bit belligerent after living under his shitheel father for four years, and I think Williford does a compassionate job of dealing with both of these issues.
How's the sex, Carmen?
No sex. One single chaste kiss at the very end.
This is what is costing the book the one star. I just can't be happy with a romance in which there isn't some good sex. It's a requirement for me to be happy with a romance novel.
Tl;dr - I think this is the first Amish romance novel I would actually recommend to people. Usually I have huge problems with them, and all of them I've read so far have been seriously flawed. But Williford's nuanced portrayal of not only the hero and heroine, but also the Amish and their community made me feel at home and comfortable. It's very human and relatable. Making the characters be sexually attracted to each other also helped.
The book isn't perfect, and I can't be happy with it's complete lack of sex. One chaste kiss at the very end is not doing anything for me.
But if you are looking for an Amish romance novel, you could do a lot worse than this one. Four out of five stars.

This is a quick read with the ending being what a reader would expect from reading the back of the book which was disappointing to know Lizbeth’s secret from the start. There’s definitely some unusual information about the Amish/Mennonite community in Pinecraft, FL that other communities does not allow.
Benuel was a trying child with his ADHD and being raised initially by his cruel parental grandparents when Lizbeth’s was living in Ohio. Her father and Fredrik brought more structure to his young life when Lizbeth returned to her own community after the untimely death of her abusive husband. Fredrik finally decided to grow up at the age of 30 and look for a wife. His attraction with Lizbeth had been since their childhood but she was in mourning. Time, hurts and truth will bring healing if she’ll allow her heart to heal.
This was a used library book sale purchase, thus a review was not required. All thoughts are my own.

"2 out of 5 stars. Lizbeth is an Amish widow who is escaping her life in Ohio and moving back to where she grew up in Pinecraft, Florida. While establishing herself back into the community she grew up her life takes a sudden twist when she learns that her feelings for Fredrik (her older brother’s best friend) is still there. But if they get to close her big secret will be exposed so would it all be worth the heartache?
This novel ... oh this novel ... the book’s description hooked me so I was hyped to read this when I finally got into it. HOWEVER ..."

The story did work for me. The storyline behind the child's parentage didn't ring true. Was amazed no one in the community ever commented on the resemblance between father & son & wonder why that was.

For being what this is, a quick-read-mind-popcorn book (Love Inspired is a Harlequin imprint if you didn't know) this was actually a pretty decent book. It is a quick read, which is nice. It only took me a couple hours to get through. Considering how short it is the characters are fairly well developed. Yes, you do have some weird random things that happen that don't really make sense because plot, and there is a section in the middle that drags because it alternates Lizbet and Fredrik's point of view and they're both wondering if they should get with the other, but like I said, this book wasn't terrible.
The best thing about this book though was the fact that the people felt real. A lot of times with this type of book you get these characters where bad stuff happens, but it's not really that bad and they're just so positive and so faithful and so happy all the time, it's kind of annoying. The characters in this book dealt with real-life problems just like real-life people. Blended families, abuse, premarital sex. It wasn't so much that I was depressed, but it was enough to give the story the feeling of realness. I liked that.

I love reading Cheryl's books. Lizabeth moves back home to her fathers home after her husbands death in Ohio. She runs into Fredrik the first day back but she has always loved him and has been hiding a secret. She was abused and put down by her husband and his family from Ohio. Feeling relief to be away she rents a house for herself and young son. The story progress and her late husband brother shows up and grabs Lizabeth to take her back home. Fredrik saves Lizabeth but will she ever tell Fredrik the secret she is keeping. Read to find out.

I loved this book. Faith in the midst of fear, sorrow and doubt, abounds in this book. It is a great story as I said with sorrow and other things you just need to read to enjoy the book. I don't want to give to many details. But there is Hope and things are good in the end. It relates things in this community environment I did not know existed and it is good to learn. These things I know happen in life, but my goodness things in life are so sad, beyond sad. This author wrote an awesome book...

The Florida Amish/Mennonite are nothing like any Amish/Mennonite I know or have read about. I have to say that made me wonder if the author really knew that community or not.
My question on seeing the title was "how could anyone have a secret Amish child?" My best guess was that she'd been sent away to have the child with her new community being told she was a young widow and then her original community being told she'd married and been widowed at the place she was sent to. That wasn't quite the case--it appears her husband and his family were aware of her pregnancy.
Since the identity of the biological father is revealed in the blurb, another early thought I had was "if they'd had sex, why didn't he remember it along with all the other memories of their childhood exploits?" This question isn't answered until later in the book.
I can understand the abusive atmosphere undermining Lizbeth's confidence in herself and the circumstances making it harder for her to be the mother of her son, but she acts like she's never seen mothering done before. She had a mother--certainly she had to learn some lessons from her mother (of course, that was a mother-daughter relationship rather than mother-son, but . . .) She has a brother, so she could have observed her mother raising him. She may have also seen how Fredrik's mother was a mother to him. So to act like she has no clue is just a big plot hole. Also, she could ask for help from Ulla and others she knows in Pinecraft to gather some ideas.

I'd consider this one just average I suppose.
The twist about the little boy's father was spoiled on the back cover which was a little disappointing, but I was still curious to see how it came about. The ending seemed a little rushed to me as well.

Her Secret Amish Child is the third book written by Cheryl Williford in her Pinecraft Homecomings series. I enjoyed this story immensly and enjoyed watching the story of Fredrik and Lizbeth unfold. This story deals with the real problem of abuse both physical and verbal.
This story has a second storyline that also deals with a real subject, ADHD. The author has done her research on both subjects in this book and I can understand what a familh goes thru with a child who has ADHD. This book was very informative.
I enjoyed all the characters in this story especially the little boy, Benuel. He was a typical 5 year old who attracks trouble. He was also very wise for his age and understood what his maam suffered with to beable to be in his life. Even though he caused his maam a great deal of stress he also loved her very much and just wanted her to be happy.
I hope you choose nit only to read this book but the entire series. Each book had a special subject that eas dealt with in the story. I don't know if this is the last book in this series but I surely hope the author continues it. I love stories envolving Pinecraft, Florida.
I was not given a complimentary copy of this amazing book to read and review. I was not approached to post a favorable review at anytime. All opinions and statements are strictly my own. I have rated this book with five stars for meeting my expectations of a wonderful story that i can highly recommend to all those who love the Amish genre.
Congratulations to to Cheryl Williford on writing another fantastic book for her readers to enjoy. I will be anticipating more wonderful books from her in the future and i will be happy to review at anytime for this author.
