Title: Softly Blows the Bugle
Series: The Amish of Weaver's Creek #3
Author: Jan Drexler
Publisher: Revell
Release Date: October 20, 2020
Genre: Christian Historical Amish Romance
Welcome back to the Amish community at Weaver's Creek, where the bonds of family and faith bind up the brokenhearted.
When Elizabeth Kaufman received the news of her husband's death at the Battle of Vicksburg in 1863, she felt only relief. She determined that she would never be at the mercy of any man again, even if it meant not having a family of her own. Then along came Aaron Zook . . .
Despite the severity of his injuries, Aaron has resolved to move west and leave the pain of the past behind him. He never imagined that the Amish way of life his grandfather had rejected long ago would be so enticing. That, and a certain widow he can't get out of his mind.
Yet, even in a simple community, life has a way of getting complicated. Aaron soon finds that while he may have left the battlefield behind, there is another fight he must win--the one for the heart of the woman he loves.
Amish Fiction is my favorite Genre to read. I especially enjoy when it is adds in Historical Fiction. Jan Drexler is an WONDERFUL Author and I thoroughly enjoy her books and Softly Blows the Bugle was no exception.
Elizabeth Kaufman is a new widow, her husband dying in War. Elizabeth felt
relief instead of grief in the loss of her husband. He was not Amish, like her, and the marriage was a struggle. Elizabeth isn't interested in marrying again, that is until she meets Aaron Zook, a friend of her brother. Aaron's Grandfather rejected the Amish faith, but Aaron is growing fond of the Simple Life of the Amish faith. He is struggling though to win the heart of Elizabeth, especially since there is another man, Samuel, trying to win her heart. Although, it seems Samuel has devious intentions and really only wants her land, not her love. Will Elizabeth allow her heart to be open to love again? Is there love in the horizon for Aaron and Elizabeth?
I truly enjoyed this book, from the very first chapter. Amish usually marry
Amish and it was surprising that Elizabeth's first husband wasn't Amish.
The characters in this book have a good connection and the book flows
well. This is book #3 in The Amish of Weaver's Creek series, but it a GREAT stand alone novel. I have not read the first 2 in this series, but I intend to now. I look forward to more books from Jan Drexler. Cozy Book!
