Emma Miller

Emma Miller lives quietly in her old farmhouse in rural Delaware amid fertile fields and lush woodlands. Fortunate enough to be born into a family of strong faith, she grew up on a dairy farm, surrounded by loving parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Emma was educated in local schools, and once taught in an Amish schoolhouse much like the one at Seven Poplars. When she's not caring for her large family, reading and writing are her favorite pastimes.

    This is a great feel good read. Yes there is some hard things that happen, but I love reading about Hannah Yoder's Daughter's! This being Leah's story, but great visits with the rest of the family.Leah is going to meet a great Mennonite man named Daniel, and she is going to have to make some major life changing decisions. Of course her Grandmother, and Aunt Martha are back, and delightful Aunt Jezzy.You do not have to have read the other books in this series to read this one, although I highly recommend it.I received this book from the Publisher Harlequin Love Inspired through NetGalley, and was not required to give a positive review!

    This book is about an Amish family, with Leah playing the leading role.I have not read any of the other books in the series and am following along just fine with the story.Leah spends a year in Ohio, with her sister, taking care of her grandmother and is happy to return to her Amish community. But after enjoying more freedom being away, does she want the old-fashioned way of life still?Leah had once wished to marry in the Amish community, but when a speaker comes to town and she ends up pairing with him to find a lost boy in the community, she begins to have feelings for him. But are her feelings that of someone infatuated with a missionary, or are they true love? What about her Amish heritage?What does Leah choose?I received this book free from the publisher for this review. I was not required to write a positive review. These opinions about this book are my own.

    "Leah's Choice" by Emma Miller was a very good rainy day book. I was interested in the differences between Mennonite and Amish cultures. This was brought to light in this book. Leah is Amish. Daniel is Mennonite. The attraction between the two was instantaneous. Brought together by an almost-tragedy, Leah and Daniel continue to find strength and hope and love together. I was left in suspense until the end, trying to determine whether or not Leah would accept Daniel even though their families were not in favor of their being together. The author created many storylines among the sub-characters in the book to provide interest throughout. I would recommend this book.

    Does Leah Follow Her Heart?I have enjoyed reading about Hannah Yoder’s Daughters. This story is about Leah Yoder. Author Emma Miller is a great teller of stories and I love reading her books.Leah has some decisions to make regarding her future and it involves someone outside the Amish faith. After much prayer she still hasn’t the slightest idea of what she should do.I enjoyed reading updates of Hannah’s other daughters in this book too. There is an incident that is pretty disturbing. A lot of people think Amish are above everyone else and that they don’t have the same issues and problems that we do. It just goes to show that none of us are perfect.Another clean God centered book. I loved it!

    Leah’s ChoiceEmma MillerBook Summary: Falling for an Englisher. With dreams of marrying an Old Order Amish man, Leah Yoder plans on raising children in the peaceful Delaware community. But when Mennonite missionary Daniel Brown arrives to share his story with their church, Leah is fascinated by him. She spends time with Daniel in a forbidden courtship to learn how she truly feels about him. Before long, Leah has a choice to make. Should she stay with her community...or leave with the man she believes God has placed in her life’s path? Hannah’s Daughters: Seeking love, family and faith in Amish country. Review: I enjoyed the theme explored in the plot and the subplot. It was an interesting subplot for me more at times than the plot. I guessed the outcome of the subplot and was torn between belief and disbelief in its credibility. I believed the author made a credible attempt to tie all the loose ends together and the grief of the people surrounding it was believable. The main plot had a great struggle that occurred realistically throughout the book. The main point I found most challenging to accept was that Leah had a choice. I understand she is to willingly join the Amish Church, but the pressure that was placed on her must have been tremendous and that was the only soft part of the story. The tension between the two groups was a significant part of the plot and was well done. Overall I did enjoy this book and the series was enjoyable.I would like to thank Net Galley and Harlequin Love Inspired for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and I was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.

    Review: Leah's Choice by Emma Miller 4 STARSLeah's Choice is a good, uplifting, fast read.Leah is Amish and her family has lived the plain and simple way. No phones, cars ect. Leah has not been baptised in her church even though her little sister at 16 did.The Menonites invited some of the Amish youth to hear a Daniel speak about his missionary experience and show powerpoint of the different folks and places he served. Before he could start a call for help went out a six year old boy was lost out in a stormy night.Leah was put in a group of three others Menonites who were not familar with the aera. Two of her party had to turn back because of injury. Leah was so close to another farm which the family was away for a few months. They found the missing 6 year old with a baby goat and mother goat in distress because the other twin goat could not delivered. Daniel was a nurse so he figured what was wrong and the other kid was born. It was when they had taken the boy home did Leah find out he was the quest speaker that she had really wanted to meet.Daniel kept asking Leah to help with different service projects and she liked helping outsiders. In her church they did service for thier members all the time but not others.Daniel knew that he wanted to marry Leah right away. He was also waitingfor his next missionary assignment.Leah knew if she chose to marry Daniel she would have to leave the Amish church and some would shun her.Leah's mother had to make that same choice but in reverse she left the Menonites for her new husband and joined the Amish church. Her family shuned her. They sent her letters back and has not seen or heard from them since.This story is good but makes me realize that I need to do more service to others. I liked this story and would like to read more about their family.I was given this ebook to read in exchange of honest review by Netgalley.04/17/2012 PUB Love Inspired
