Series: Amish River
Author: Temperance Johnson
Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Amish Fiction

An unique Amish love story.  

A wounded woman with no way out…unless she marries her ex. 

After unexpected abuse, quiet and happy Priscilla Yoder thinks her life can’t get worse. But then she finds out she’s pregnant, and her family and church insist she marry the man who hurt her. When a man she used to love, a man who wants to leave the Amish, offers to marry her, she doesn’t see a better option. 

Danny Taylor, charming bad boy of his Amish community, is ready to leave the plain life. But when a woman he used to love finds herself in danger of marriage to an evil man, he can't resist offering marriage to keep her safe. Only problem is, he didn’t expect to fall for his bride so fast. She's softening his tough heart and showing him that there’s a good side to the Amish. As they grow closer, he realizes this gorgeous woman in pain has giant walls, and it will take both patience and faith if he wants to scale them. 

Caring for Danny was never what Priscilla wanted. And she never expected his faith to bring her closer to God. 

But when Danny’s past wounds resurface, and as Priscilla learns to hope again, can they trust God to make their relationship more than just a marriage of convenience?  

Amish Fiction is my ultimate favorite genre. Lullaby by the River by Temperance Johnson is the latest book in this genre that I had the opportunity to read. 

WOW, I started reading this book and didn't stop until I finished the book. This was definitely not the "Typical Amish Fiction" book. Priscilla is a Pregnant UnWed Amish Woman. The Amish community wants her to marry the man who sexually assaulted her. Priscilla feels trapped and then Danny Taylor, her ex, steps in and offers to marry her. Danny was planning on leaving the Amish community and becoming an Englisher. I really LOVE how their relationship renews and becomes stronger. I truly LOVE that Priscilla and Danny are leaning on God more throughout the pain of the past resurfaces again. I was really amazed that Priscilla learns that her faith in God is stronger then ever. The author tackles many sensitive topics: Sexual Assualt, Domestic Abuse, Church abuse and more, with Grace. Danny was a "HERO" for offering a "Marriage of Convenience" to protect Priscilla and the unborn baby. The book is one of Second Chances, Faith, and Family. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Amish Fiction. AMAZING BOOK!
