The Widower
FREE Download on Kindle Unlimited. Things go from bad to worse for Andrew Miller. After his wife dies, leaving him with a newborn daughter, he struggles to provide a stable home. But his mother-in-law has other ideas. And now she wants to keep Susie with her permanently. But Andrew can’t allow it—he won’t allow it. He’s already lost too much. How he wishes Amy Yoder would come back and help him with Susie. When she was in his house caring for the baby, things were better. Smoother. Happier. But she’s gone now, and when Andrew sees her with her fiancé, something inside him shrivels. He fights his reaction, knowing he can’t possibly love Amy—not so soon after his beloved wife’s death. But at least, he has his daughter… Unless his mother-in-law gets her way. Is there any way Andrew can keep little Susie with him and also bring Amy back into his life? “In the tradition of the works of Beverly Lewis, Cindy Woodsmall, and Wanda Brunstetter, best-selling author Brenda Maxfield continues to bring you gripping Amish tales of love, hope, and God’s miracles.” Click Above to enjoy this inspirational Christian romance today!

My passion is writing! What could be more delicious than inventing new characters and seeing where they take you?
I am blessed to live in Indiana, a state I share with many Amish communities. (I find the best spices, hot cereal, and good cooking advice at an Amish store not too far away.)
I've lived in Honduras, Grand Cayman, and Costa Rica. One of my favorite activities is exploring other cultures. My husband, Paul, and I have two grown children and five precious grandchildren. I love to hole up in our lake cabin and write -- often with a batch of popcorn nearby. (Oh, and did I mention dark chocolate?) And I can often be found walking the beaches of Costa Rica.

Enjoyed reading this story very much! I am sure it was hard for Any to admit she loved her best friends husband, but it does happen, even today! I would recommend that I e read all of the 3 books so you can get to know all the characters in the series !
Great story! & loved the ending! I am sure anyone would agree it was best for Susie! & Grace would have wanted it to end this way!

My heart is satisfied
I have enjoyed this series of books so much. I am so happy this worked out for baby Susie. I do think it was a great way for they story to end. I am sure there are lives lived in communities where such tragedies like a new mothers passing where something similar to this has happened. In the best interest of sweet Susie her world will be filled with an essence of her mother with dad and Amy’s memories.

The Widower
An interesting insight into the life of these Amish families. The experienced the Englisher feelings of grief, anger, love, and bitterness but had an underlying love of God.

I usually enjoy this author's short stories ...
.... but this one was missing what makes her books so readable. The ending was just --- so-so.

The story was an easy read and enjoyable. Andrew finally comes to his senses about Amy as well as the care of Susie.
