About the author

I was born and raised in Northcentral Kansas. I'm a farmer's daughter, but I now make my home in the city of Wichita. I'm an RN. Neonatal nursing has been the main focus of my career. What can I say? I love babies. I was invited to the highschool graduation of a baby I took care of. Talk about making me feel old!

In June of 2011 I became a widow after my husband of 36 years and 11 months died from multiple brain tumors. It was a very sad time, but thanks to the three f's, my faith, my family and my friends, life is moving forward. I have four brothers, one daughter and two grandchildren who all work at making me feel loved.

I'm the author of more than 30 books and I'm currently writing a series called The Brides of Amish Country for Love Inspired.

There are some familiar characters in this book because it is book 3 in the North Country Amish series. I wasn’t aware of that when I purchased this two in one book. But I love Patricia David’s and I enjoy reading anything she has written. So the first book THE AMISH TEACHERS DILEMMA was a good read. The author did a great job dealing with dyslexia in children and adults. I love the way the Amish community pulled together to help her as a teacher. I really liked Eva. Her strong faith and her unselfishness and beautiful attitude.
The second book, HEALING THEIR AMISH HEARTS by Leigh Bale, was also about a teacher. Becca has such a beautiful heart. And she loves the children, her scholars. I could picture the little boy in the book, Sam. I wanted to give him a squeeze. Wonderful story of love after tragedy. Both these books were previously published in 2020 by Harlequin Love Inspired. But they were brought out in a two books in one volume in February of 2021.

I thoroughly enjoyed both these stories. I loved that the heroines were teachers. The heroes were doing their best to care for children which warmed my heart. The stories read as real, and I was engrossed in the relationships. A must-read if you enjoy Amish fiction.
