An Amish Schoolroom: Three Stories, (Paperback)

Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, and Shelley Shepard Gray. These names are synonymous with great storytelling, and this book has stories from all three! An Amish Schoolroom is a delightful collection about three young women who want to teach, but encounter many obstacles along the way. Each novella has different characters and different settings, but they all shine a light on the qualities that a good teacher should have: love, patience, dedication, and determination! If you enjoy reading about the Amish lifestyle, and you're yearning for love and romance, look no further. Clipston, Fuller, and Gray have filled An Amish Schoolroom with warmth, inspiration, and strong family connections. Three entertaining stories by three exceptional authors make this a perfect choice! I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a favorable review. I am voluntarily sharing my own thoughts.

An Amish Schoolroom contains three heartwarming novellas by Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, and Shelley Shepard Gray. Each Amish tale is about a woman whose desire to become a teacher is finally fulfilled. As they embark on their new adventure, each lady meets a handsome, friendly man. I liked that each story was set in a different Amish community. We get a glimpse of what it is like to teach school in a one-room schoolhouse with students from six to fourteen. I thought each of the stories were well-written with realistic characters and beautiful settings. A Class for Laurel takes us to Monte Vista, Colorado where Laurel Weaver meets Glen Troyer. They become friends, and then begin dating. Glens family, though, worries that he will move away or get his heart broken. Can love triumph? This was such a sweet story. I was drawn in right away. I liked the characters especially Glens grandmother. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions of Monte Vista, Colorado. It sounds like a beautiful area (the word imagery makes me want to visit). The romance was sweet and progressed nicely. I appreciated the epilogue that nicely wrapped up the story. I hope we get to revisit this community again (hint, hint Amy Clipston). An Amish Schoolroom is a charming collection of stories. They are great individually and work wonderfully together. Each novella has special characters, a beautiful setting, unexpected love, and a pesky problem. My favorite line came from A Class for Laurel which is, With God all things are possible. An Amish Schoolroom is an irresistible trio of Amish tales that was the perfect way so spend a rainy Saturday afternoon.

An Amish Schoolroom is a sweet novella collection featuring stories by Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, and Shelley Shepard Gray. This book features heart-warming stories of family, friendship, faith, and love that are set in three different Amish communities. As the teachers in these stories endeavor to instruct, inspire, and serve their students in their small, Amish schoolrooms, new relationships are nurtured, goals are achieved, and love begins to grow. In each of these novellas, the authors have written endearing stories that are thoroughly enjoyable and uplifting. I quickly and easily found myself drawn into the plot of each novella, experiencing real connections to the characters within each story. These stories include relatable characters who face setbacks, overcome challenges, and welcome unexpected possibilities. Their dreams and motivations are moving and memorable. I especially appreciated the meaningful, thematic threads of service, kindness, friendship, faith, family, and community that are woven throughout each of the three stories. An Amish Schoolroom is a special book that holds three touching novellas that are each quite thoughtful and engaging. It is a lovely book perfect for hours of cozy reading, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. *I was given a copy of this book by the author. A review was not required.
