Amish Calling #1
The Heart's Bidding
Together, schoolteacher Rachelle Lapp and auctioneer Toby Miller must face their hardest battle yet: trusting God’s plan for their uncertain future.
At twenty-nine, auctioneer Toby Miller is a notorious bachelor. But his job keeps him on the road for months out of the year, and he knows no Plain woman could want a marriage that would force her to live and raise children alone. Thankfully, Toby’s content to dedicate his life to the family business, especially now that his grandfather is retiring. So why does his heart keep longing for something—or more specifically, someone—he can’t have?
Rachelle Lapp has already turned down two marriage proposals. Neither promised a future that would bring her more joy than her job as a teacher to Amish children with developmental disabilities, including her brother, Jonah, and Toby’s sister, Sadie. But when the parents’ committee votes to send her students to the English schools, where they will have access to many more resources, Rachelle finds herself out of a job. She’s forced to decide between pursuing her calling far from home and staying near to the man she can’t get off her mind.
As their families matchmake, Toby and Rachelle realize their jobs may not be all that’s holding them back from a future together. They both must learn not only to trust each other, but also trust God’s plans for them. But do those plans involve a lifetime together or them going their separate ways?

Sweet Amish Romance at its very best. Kelly Irvin writes a heart felt story about an Amish School teacher who teaches students with developmental disabilities . I found her book to be realistic and definitely an original in Amish fiction. The Author blended romance into the story when a busy auctioneer takes notice of the pretty school teacher. This is a faith filled story that drew me in till the last page. In this life we all have good and bad things that happen to us and the characters of this book also had good and bad times when unpredictable things became a part of their lives.
Rachelle Lapp teaches special education to developmental and disabled Amish students. She loves her students and is gifted in this area of education. When the parents committee of the Lee’s Gulch Amish school decides to send out the Special students to an English school where they can get occupational teaching Rachelle’s future looks uncertain. Should she apply for a teaching position at another school or give up teaching altogether ?
Toby Miller is an Auctioneer for his family’s successful auction business. Toby and his brothers and Dad are always away from home and on the road going from town to town wherever Business takes them. Toby is too busy to marry and settle down and what woman would want a man who is never at home. Then he meets pretty Rachelle Lapp and she turns his head and makes his heart beat. Would she agree to let an auctioneer who is on the road five months out of the year court her? It seems that his family wants to be matchmakers when it comes to Toby and Rachelle. Would he be setting himself up for a broken heart if he became more than a friend with Rachelle?
I recommend this book to readers of Amish Fiction and Christian Fiction. This is the first book of Kelly Irvin’s new Amish Calling series. The Hearts Bidding is scheduled to be released on 8/1/23
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

THE HEART’S BIDDING is such a sweet story. Rachelle doesn’t want to leave her community, but she just might not have a choice. She is a special education teacher and the school board has decided that her school children will be going to the English school in the fall.
The Amish Calling series seems like the perfect new series for me and THE HEART’S BIDDING is exactly why. All of the characters from this story are fantastic. Rachelle comes from a big family and her salary helps with the bills. How can she not leave her family forr a different teaching position? She has to help them. She is really struggling with the way her life is headed. She didn’t know that her life would get even better once she starts confiding in Toby Miller. These two people helped each other grow. I did not want to put this book down.
THE HEART’S BIDDING Is a tough read because you can only imagine how Rachelle and Toby are struggling with their decisions they must make. Toby wants a family, someone to come home to. He loves his job as an auctioneer but knows for his Fra being home alone for long stretches of time, is a very hard life. Toby isn’t married for that reason alone. How can he ask someone to go through that? THE HEART’S BIDDING is another in-depth and insightful story by one of my favorite Amish fiction authors.
My emotions were all over the place as they always are reading a Kelly Irvin story and I’m excited to read the next book in this series. I loved how Ms. Irvin made me feel all of the anxiety and tension that the characters were dealing with. Besides all of that, there is also romance, forgiveness, and healing. A perfect way to spend the day on the couch with your favorite beverage, lost in the pages of a heart tugging but beautiful story.

The Heart's Bidding is the start of a beautiful and emotional Amish book series by Kelly Irvin.
This is a very special book, and I enjoyed it a lot.
Auctioneer Toby Miller thinks he has his priorities straight. This bachelor spends months at a time on the road doing his auctioneering thing but that's okay as a single man he has no one to answer to. But when his grandfather who has run the office side of the business steps down and his father isn't suited for this type of work things start to change. Rethinking all the traveling as a lovely young woman catches his interest and the other side of business needs running may have put him in a new frame of mind. Letting go and letting God be in charge is not an easy thing for Toby to just do though when he's used to having all this freedom.
Rachelle Lapp is a schoolteacher with the Amish children with developmental disabilities. When it's decided, the children will go to an Englisher school with more resources available to them her job becomes redundant. She knows the needs of the children having a special needs brother and Toby has a special needs sister.
The Amish believe these children are special and a blessing from God and I agree.
The two are drawn together with many similarities and understandings. I loved seeing the support of family and friends in the tough situations.
God's plan will lead this couple on the right path in love and in life.

I so enjoyed reading about Tom and Rachelle’s lives. It started with learning about Tom’s family auction business and the intricate work that had to be done to keep the business alive and well. When grandpa announces his retirement it unearths some different issues that had never been issues before . In the Amish community things are done a certain way and roles based on gender and order of birth are very prominent in their lives . Tom worries that being away from home for months at a time (due to his auction business ) would be too much for a wife and yet in the back of his mind and heart he yearns for love and companionship. Rachelle enters in. She is an amazing teacher who has dreams of her own and none include Tom until she starts to know him. This books reminds us all that God is in charge of our lives and although sometimes it appears that nothing can be resolved or a relationship couldn’t work with God everything is in possible . This book discusses an interesting topic : those with intellectual and learning disabilities who are Amish and how the entire Amish community work together to help them to help them rise to their potential . It really fascinated me and made me want to learn more.
As a bonus as part of this book Micah and Layla (Tom’s sister ) story begins . I’m excited to read more of their journey.
I enjoyed reading Tom and Rachelles story about finding love and finding where God wanted them and who He wanted them to be with. Beautiful story .
Thank you for the free copy I received from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review .

I enjoyed reading Rachelle and Toby’s story as they both struggle with the idea of being married-each for different reasons. I love how the author involved children with special needs and the struggles they deal with when dealing with educational learning and ways of teaching. I recommend this book for a heart warming read.

Excellent story . Gives a lot of insight regarding teaching kids with disabilities
May 5, 2025
Toby Miller is a 29 year old bachelor who works for his family's auction business. He is often on the road for months, so is worried about getting married and having a family. What woman would want to live that way? With his grandfather retiring, he is happy to dedicate his time to the business. So. why does his heart beat faster whenever he is around Rachel Lapp? Rachel teaches at the local Amish school. She teaches the Amish children with developmental disabilities, including her brother, Jonah, and Toby’s sister, Sadie. She loves her job and knows that if and when she marries, she will have to give it up. She has already turned down two proposals, knowing in her heart that she didn't love them enough to change her life. When the parent's committee decide that they want to send the special needs students to the English schools so they will have access to more services, she is surprised and worried about what will happen to them and herself. She begins applying for jobs in other Amish communities, but is that what she really wants now?
The Heart's Bidding is more than just an Amish romance. Kelly Irvin talks about how Plain people feel about special children being gifts from God, and that there is a higher incidence than the "English" communities. I loved meeting Sophie, Toby and some of the other children. Having taught special needs children for many years, I really connected to this story and to Rachel. Each child has their own set of needs and she worked hard to help them reach their potential. I understood how she felt about being told her job was gone and there was something better out there for her students. Of course the children were extremely attached to Rachel, and making that change was not easy on them either. That is a large part of the story, but there is also the burgeoning romance between Rachel and Toby. There was chemistry there, but both of them tried to ignore it, as they didn't know if marriage was something they wanted or that would work for them. This is a great story, with themes that I haven't seen in other Amish Fiction. I listened to this story, narrated by Devon O'Day. She has a wonderful voice and I enjoyed her performance of this lovely story. I liked the various voices she gave the characters, and with a wide range of ages (adults/children) she does a good job giving them individual voices.

The Heart's Bidding by Kelly Irvin, book one in the Amish Calling series, is a faith filled story sweet, heartwarming story about trusting G-d and allowing G-d to show you what is best for you all. A story that drew me, not letting go until the last page.
Rachelle Lapp teaches special education to developmental and disabled Amish students, especially her brother Jonah who has developmental and learning disabilities. She loves her students and is gifted teaching in this area of education. When the parents committee of the Lee’s Gulch Amish School decides to send their Special Ed students to an English school, where they can get occupational teaching, Rachelle’s future looks uncertain. Her choices are to either apply for a teaching position at another school, possibly far from home, or give up teaching altogether; neither of which make her happy.
Toby Miller is an Auctioneer for his family’s successful auction business. Toby, his brothers and Dad are always away from home and on the road going from town to town wherever business takes them. Toby is too busy to marry and settle down; what woman would want a man who is never at home. Toby did not feel that any woman would marry him and want to be alone raising his children while he was on the road. Then he meets pretty Rachelle Lapp who turns his head and makes his heart beat. Rachel teaches Toby’s sister, Sadie, who has Down syndrome. Together, Toby and Rachelle advocate for their siblings who have learning disabilities. Toby wonders if he could be more than a friend to Rachelle; if she would welcome an auctioneer, who is on the road five months out of the year, court her. There are some matchmakers trying to help Toby and Rachelle come together; his family and their siblings, Jonah and Sadie.
Ms. Irvin wrote a wonderful, heartfelt, sweet, and moving story that had me reflecting on how he Amish would differ in how they value children with different abilities; especially developmental disabilities. Jonah and Sadie were such sweet kids who had such a love for life and those who were their friends and family. In this life we all have good and bad things that happen to us and in this story the characters also had good and bad times when unpredictable things became a part of their lives. I highly recommend The Heart's Bidding to other readers.

This story follows Toby and Rachelle. They are both dealing with difficult decisions involving their careers. They are both looking for love and unsure about their futures. The story is mostly a sweet romance. There are also some serious moments throughout the book. I am not sure how this book connects to the next in the series.

Another sweet Amish read!
Loved how Toby & Rachelle loved their handicapped siblings, their family and ultimately one another. Both having careers, her teaching and he a traveling auctioneer made for an interesting read. Kelly Irvin never disappoints!
LOVE this analogy❣️

I always enjoy reading Amish books and this was no exception! The story between Rachelle and Toby was wonderful. Taking care of their siblings, Jonah and Sadie, was a wonderful heartfelt addition to the story. I will definitely read more in this series. Thanks to Zondervan and Netgalley for the advanced copy.

Rachel Lapp is an Amish school teacher. Rachel teaches Amish children who have disabilities. Rachel has a brother Jonah who is down syndrome. Toby Miller is a 29-year-old auctioneer he never married because of his occupation. Toby did not feel that any woman would marry him and want to be alone raising his children while he was on the road. Toby has a sister Sadie who Rachel teaches due to her down syndrome. When the Amish school decides to send their children with disabilities to an English school who has more resources to help the children then their Amish school has this brings Rachel and Toby together. This was a beautiful book about trusting God and allowing God to show you what is best for you all.

We don't object to education. Our grandparents and their grandparents fought for the right to have our own schools and to end our formal education at the eighth grade because we want to preserve our way of life. There's a difference, in our opinion between book learning and education that teaches wisdom and values. We will allow you to teach reading, writing, math, but our concern is that they not learn your worldly values. ...To much formal education leads to arrogance and loss of humility... the teaching of evolutionary biology and sex education runs counter to our religious beliefs. ..To much exposure to your values will lead our children away from their faith. Our ancestors fought hard-even to death for the freedom to preserve our faith and way of life.
Amish teacher Rachelle loved teaching the young children of her community. With a little brother with a down syndrome and a few others in the community with disabilities, she loved watching those in her charge learn and that God is good. I was very drawn to this part of the story because it was so black and white and education now has become so gray. With education becoming so political and polarized, this was so refreshing. There of course is so much more to Rachelle's story. Toby Miller being one. An auctioneer by trade which is unusual by the Amish so it was a different take on Amish romance.
Toby and Rachelle grew up in the same community but they seem to be more aware of each other when Rachelle youngest brother wandered to a auction where Toby was doing his work using her brother Jonah as a prop. Not sitting well for her, she rebuked Toby for drawing attention to himself using her brother. Sometimes in situations like this, you need a match maker to smooth things out and reveal another side. Toby always admired Rachelle and the way she loved on her students. Especially his youngest sister Sadie who too had learning disabilities but looked at life with the attitude of life is great! Sadie and Jonah were best friends and brought a spiritual light to this romance. Both Toby and Rachelle had reasons for not finding spouses but very carefully they began to see each other in that way. They both had suffered set backs in their jobs however, it was learning experience in their faith and each other. I loved their story.

Loved the story of Toby and Rachelle and how they advocate so well for their siblings who have intellectual disabilities. It was interesting to think how the Amish would differ in how they value children with different abilities. Jonah and Sadie were such sweet kids who had such a love for life and those who were their friends and family.
Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this sweet, clean romance very much. A lot can be learned from the Amish and how they view/treat people with disabilities.
I highly recommend this book.
I received this book as a first-reads Goodreads winner.

This story tugs at the heart strings. A well developed story about healing & grace. A page turner with some twists & turns that help.
A good job the author did pulling me in.

I absolutely loved this story. The characters walked off the page and made me care what happened to them.
When Rachelle Lapp gets the news that her "special" students would be attending the English school in the fall, she is devastated. She is a gifted teacher who knows and loves each of the children in her care, and her salary also helps her family of 16 function. At 23, she has already turned down two marriage proposals, neither of which felt like the right thing for her. While her parents hope that she will find someone to marry if she isn't teaching, Rachelle hopes to find another position, even if it takes her away from her home community. She knows her skills are needed, somewhere, but she doesn't know if she can really leave her family, especially her little brother, Jonah, who is one of her special students.
Toby Miller is an auctioneer, a highly unusual occupation among the Amish for two reasons. One, he has to use an electronic sound system to be heard, and two, the job calls attention to him, makes him stand out, which the Amish generally frown upon. He's gone from home six months out of the year as part of the family auction business begun by his grandfather, which was never a problem until he wanted to court a girl. Shattered by the reaction of the first girl he courted to his absences, he has reached the "old" age of 29 without giving his heart away again. When he calls Rachelle's little brothers onto the stage with him at an auction, he earns her wrath but he also finds a woman that interests him. Fear has kept him from pursuing relationships before, but is it possible that Rachelle is different from other Amish girls?
Toby and Rachelle have an almost immediate connection/attraction to one another, but both have been burned by love in the past. Can they get past their current "comfort zones" to find the love that both their families want for them?
I really felt for these two. They know that marriage is expected for each of them, but Toby is well past the age when men normally marry and Rachelle feels called to teach, something she can't do as an Amish wife. Toby's fear of disappointing yet another young woman has him locked in indecision. He wants a home and family, but is afraid to offer his heart to anyone after the first girl he dated stomped all over it. He knows his job and how much he is away will make life difficult for a wife, but his father and grandfather both managed. Why not him?
Readers who enjoy Amish sweet romance will love The Heart's Bidding. There is humor to go with all the angst, and the characters make you hope for a sequel. It reads very quickly, too.

Although this book is an Amish romance, its strongest theme is the acceptance and education of children who are labelled as different, educationally challenged, developmentally delayed, disabled, mentally or physically handicapped, or as the Amish prefer to call them “special.” They see these children as gifts from God. In The Heart’s Bidding, Rachelle is a dedicated teacher, but as a Plain (Amish) woman she knows that although she loves teaching and has a talent in that area, her future will be to get married and have children. When the governing educational committee in her community decide that the special children should be transported daily to a town that offers more specialized services than the little community has available and at no cost to the Amish, Rachelle finds her last day of teaching coming more quickly than she could have imagined or desired.
Toby is a handsome bachelor who has been hurt in a past experience in courting and is haunted by the thought that no woman would want to be married to an auctioneer who spends many days and months on the road crisscrossing 5 states. Could an attraction between Toby and Rachelle come to anything? Both of their mothers would like to see it happen and have to be reminded to rein in their matchmaking. Both Toby and Rachelle have special siblings and common love and understanding for them.
There are other plot threads within this book about the large Amish families, the head of a family business stepping down, and an adult with dyslexia that has never been addressed. If you are interested in the Amish way of life and how both education and technology are addressed on an everyday level, this would be a good book to read. It gives the reader a different point of view from an author who is sensitive to both Amish and English cultures. The many children in the book provide both humor and excitement. In particular Jonah, Rachelle’s little brother, and Sadie, Toby’s little sister, both of whom will need lifelong support, will make you smile and tug on your heartstrings.

The Heart’s Bidding by Kelly Irvin is a sweet Amish story. I thought the story was well-written with developed characters. I enjoyed getting to know Toby Miller, an auctioneer, and Rachelle Lapp, an Amish special needs teacher. We first get to meet Toby and his family. They have an auctioneer business that keeps the men on the road during the warmer months leaving the women and kids home. Toby has been yearning for someone to love. However, Toby cannot see leaving his wife and, eventually, his children home while he travels. The family business works well with three generations of Miller men taking care of the work. But then Toby’s grandfather announces his retirement, and their well-run business gets off kilter. Rachelle loves children and enjoys teaching the special needs children in their district. Rachelle is surprised when the school board announces that in the fall, Rachelle’s pupils will be going to an Englisch school that has more resources available for the children. Rachelle is thrown for a loop. There are no openings for teachers in her community. Toby and Rachelle’s relationship has a rocky beginning. Their love for their siblings, Jonah and Sadie, helps draw the two together. Toby and Rachelle will see that God is in charge of their lives and with Him anything is possible. I like how the Amish regard children (and adults) who have learning and developmental disabilities. They see them as special gifts from God. Toby and his family learn that while traditions have their place, sometimes you need to try new methods. I like how faith is woven throughout the story. The Heart’s Bidding is the first An Amish Calling Novel. I look forward to reading the other books in this touching series. The Heart’s Bidding is a heartwarming tale with precious children, looking for love, retirement predicament, account confusion, an unconventional solution, and a faithful family.

Deeply Touched My Heart
Sometimes you read a book that just leaves you in awe of how deeply it touches your heart. Such is the case with Kelly Irvin’s The Heart’s Bidding.
First, you have Rachelle Lapp and Toby Miller. Each one has suffered through relationship issues in the past that have somewhat clouded their feelings on the subject of love and trust.They’ve also had situations in their work and families that weighed heavily on them and in turn had them facing some difficult decisions. All of this caused them to have some reservations which had an impact on their growing feelings for each other and their possible future. Following their journey completely tugged at my heart strings.
Next you have a wonderful cast of secondary characters, some of which were very special. This is a topic that doesn’t show up very often in this type of story. However, it is very clear that the author researched the topic extensively. The way she flawlessly detailed the characters’ dialogues, actions and reactions was so spot on that it made them feel like they were real.
Lastly there is another topic that rarely shows up in this type of story. That topic is about adults who never had their educational needs properly addressed in childhood and how it impacts them in adulthood. This too was depicted in such a realistic way that it deeply touched my heart.
Author Kelly Irvin has once again written a story that draws you in completely and touches your heart is a special way. It is one of love, hope, faith, trust and following God’s plan. It is a truly heartfelt story that I highly recommend.

Oh my goodness, what a story! Kelly Irvin always does a tremendous job riding her stories, But this one is one of the best of the best.
The Heart’s Bidding is Rachel and Toby‘s story. Toby Miller works in his family’s auction business, and Rachel teaches special Need children in their hometown school. Because they both have siblings with disabilities one would naturally assume they are drawn together by circumstances. Although this is true, each has their own reasons for not being willing to trust their heart to love.
Every character in this book is unique, and you are drawn to them each in a special way as you watch them grow throughout the story. They are so well developed that many times you forget you are reading a story, and these people are only real in your imagination.
The plot of the story is so interesting that you cannot wait until the next page but in no way, are you ready for the story to end. The store never lags, and you never lose interest in what you’re reading. The message is unforgettable.
On August 1, 2023, This book will be released and you will be able to enjoy the story also.
Thank you, Zondervan For allowing me to read an ARC, of this book. I recommend this five star read to everyone who enjoys Amish fiction. Opinions are my own, and I was not required to give a positive review.

The Heart’s Bidding is my first Kelly Irvin, but it won’t be my last. I very much enjoyed reading this Amish story. Rachelle’s teaching job that she loves is at an end, and she may have to take a job in a neighboring community. Toby and his family run an Amish Auctioneering company which keeps him away from home for a good portion of the year. Through quite a few difficult circumstances and troubles, Toby and Rachelle try to figure out if God’s plan for them includes them being together.
I enjoyed the main storyline of Toby and Rachelle’s relationship, although Toby’s stubbornness did get a little aggravating. I also really enjoyed the supporting storyline of Toby’s sister Layla’s relationship with the new guy in the community as well as her ability and desire to fill an unconventional job for an Amish female. Toby and Rachelle both also had younger siblings with developmental disabilities, which was another great storyline in the book.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Amish fiction. And I will be checking out more Kelly Irvin stories for myself in the future.

Once again, Kelly Irvin has written a moving story of faith, hope, and love.
Rachelle Lapp loves her job teaching the special children in her Amish community, but when the parents’ committee decides the children would benefit from the services offered at the public school, her job and her world crash.
Toby Miller enjoys working as an auctioneer, but the job requires him to travel many months out of the year. At twenty-nine, he wants to marry and have a family but fears no Amish woman would want to raise a family alone.
Rachelle and Toby find themselves drawn to each other, but they will need to decide if they can trust God’s plans and make the changes that may be required of them. They must also decide if they can trust each other with their hearts if they want to pursue any relationship other than friendship.
The Heart’s Bidding is a heartwarming story that addresses the subjects of disability and illness with great respect and sensitivity. The plot is fast-moving. The characters are endearing, and their situations are believable. Kelly Irvin has an almost magical way of combining faith and love in her stories. Readers will find this book a wonderful addition to their personal libraries.

Toby works with the men in his family as auctioneers. They travel for their jobs and are gone much of the time. Toby feels he is destined to remain single as the one woman he thought he loved, very hatefully told him no woman would want to marry a man who was gone so much of the time. Yes, his mother and grandmother did it, but, her words haunt him.
Rachelle teachers in the Amish schoolhouse. She longs to be a wife and mother, but does love her job. She teaches the children who have academic and social challenges. The Amish call these children, 'special,' and indeed, they are. Jonah and Sadie are such sweet little children and full of joy in spite of their disabilities.
It has been decided the 'special' children will be going to the English school as that school can meet some of their needs better, as well as being a financial help. Rachelle is devastated, as is her little brother Jonah. Whatever is she to do if she cannot teach? How will the 'special' children understand the big change in their lives?
Such a lovely story with great characters and a happy ending.

Rachelle is a born teacher. She has patience galore, and has dedicated her life to teaching Amish children with developmental disabilities. Then her life crashes around her when the elders decide to send the children with special needs to an English school where they would receive more specialized teaching. Now, Rachelle is forced to look elsewhere for a job, and it seems the only places who need a teacher are outside her own community. Meanwhile, Toby is reveling in his job as part of his family’s auctioneering company. His job takes him away from home for several weeks at a time, limiting his ability to court. What Amish woman would a husband who is gone so much? But the families of these two people see a spark between them, and they fan that hope. This is a heartwarming tale that incorporates some romance into the real story of dealing with the problems of disabled kids. Decisions have to be made as to what is best for the children versus what the children say they want, often pleading for familiar comforts. The author does a good job balancing these two aspects. She also is quite good at representing the Amish way of life and beliefs, and their care of special children.

Rachelle Lapp teaches in an Amish school and also helps her family. She loves working with handicapped children and feels too drawn to that calling to worry about getting married and making a family. She has her own little brother in her class as well as the little sister of Toby Miller. Toby is an auctioneer that spends half his time on the road doing auctions. When he was younger his girlfriend broke up with him because she thought it would be too much trouble taking care of everyting at home when he was on the road so he has not even pursued finding another match because he doesn't want to put that on someone else. When the elders decide to let the handicapped kids go to the English school in town, Rachelle's job is terminated. Both she and Toby have concerns about their siblings going to the bigger school. The two are drawn together in a mutual conviction that they need to follow God's plan for their futures.

Kelly Irvin brings the genre of Amish Christian fiction to new hieghts with it's tender romance and sensitive issues and the world of the learning disabled child. Teacher Rachelle Lapp and her friend Toby, an auctioneer, sort through their relationship, when Rachelle loses her teaching job and the Amish send their special students to a public school. The Heart's Bidding gives us the different views of how we see and treat those with learning disablilties and helps us understand their world. This Amish tale is more than just a tender romance, it examines the roles we put women and men into, our lour skills in communicating with others and the role our religion in confineing or expanding our view of others and the world we live in. The characters are well developed and varied and the pace moves right along. What a story to bring readers closer to how it must feel to be "a special child" for an Amish youngster or an English youngster, in fact. Put this title on your "To Read List," it is entertaining and informative.
July 31, 2023
Tender. Humorous. Amish. Romantic. A great combo of adjectives to describe this story. I also like the sensitivity used in having some children, and even adults, with learning disabilities included as characters in this book as it can give enlightenment to any caring person who wishes greater understanding in relating to people with such challenges in life. Among the Amish they are affectionally called, "special" and feature throughout the unfolding narrative.
The relationship between Toby and Rachelle keeps them, and incidently the reader, on a teeter-totter of quizzical dynamics. Will they, or will they not, get it together?
A 4-Star rating from me.

Toby is getting a lot of pressure from his mother to find a wife. Toby is an auctioneer in his family auction business and travels 6 months of the year. Toby has a gift of words in his profession, but not with Rachelle, the woman who has caught his attention. Rachelle works with the 'special' children of her community. Rachelle loves the children and working with them. She is at a crossroads when the parents decide to send the children to an 'English' school which offers additional services instead. Toby and Rachelle draw together, but Toby isn't sure Rachelle would welcome courtship from him. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I love that this story deals with different subjects (i.e. auctioneering and 'special' children) than are normally written about in Amish stories. I also love that Toby and Rachelle are warm and loving people who are struggling with big changes in their lives. Toby's little sister Sadie stole my life and her friendship with Rachelle's brother Jonah is precious. There is also a nice secondary romance dealing with love after heartbreak. I look forward to the next book in this series.
