This is a very good series. Tattie tends to add some steamy kisses to her stories, but overall they are clean.
This is a story about a man and woman who fall in love, but they can't do anything about it because the Amish believe that when a couple marries they are married until death do them part, even if one of the members of the marriage leaves and divorces the other - and even remarries - they aren't free to remarry themselves. She's a woman on her own since her father died and he is the man helping her take care of her property and animals. She helps him with his organic farm. His wife leaves him bereft and she comes to his rescue (twice).

Interesting Read
This couple is so sweet to have so many obstacles thrown at them! It was left open ended so would go buy book 2.

Follow God's rules
The Bible tells us what is right and wrong. We are taught growing up right from wrong. Our entire life happenings are based on what is right or wrong.

Emily 's story.
This book was very well written with a little suspense. It told of how Emily felt about Silas but were not able to be a couple.

A good novella
This is part one of a three part novella story. The first book was easy to engage with and a quick read. Looking forward to part two

This was a wonderful book, I really enjoyed it. Emily lives by herself after her father dies. She gets lonely in the big house, but doesn't want to move in with her brothers. She has an English neighbor named Silas. He helps her out with all the chores there are to do around the property. Will Emily ever be happy and not so lonely? You will have to read the book to find out. Can't wait to read book two.

Emily Graber feels all alone after her father dies. Although she has nine brothers and sisters, she wants to stay in her home after his passing. Silas Moreland, her Englisch-turned-Amish neighbor. . . well, I'll let you read about Emily and Silas.
This is vey different from the usual Amish fiction stories I read. . . yet it is a compelling, compassionate story of love -- forbidden love, since Silas' wife is divorcing him. Will Emily and Silas give in to temptation? You won't know unless you read the entire series.
It was easy for me to identify with Emily. If I were Amish, and in her place, what would I do? That's the question I asked myself when reading Emily's story. I hope I would make the right decision. What would you do?
Enough said. Now I'm off to read book two. . .
Happy Reading!!!

I love this delightful book tremendously and I'm thrilled to have found this author. Once I started reading, the storyline had me hooked. I've enjoyed learning about the Swiss Amish and I'm so intrigued from reading The Broken that I'm looking forward to the author's next book.
I received a complimentary copy from the author. This review is one hundred percent my opinion.
