Amish fiction roundup<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s March and the promise of spring is all around us, from the budding mesquite trees to the wildflowers that are popping up everywhere. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is nothing better than springtime in Texas. It represents a time of new beginnings. We shed winter\u2019s hold and venture out into breathtaking days with near-perfect temperatures. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What better way to enjoy the great Texas outdoors than to grab a great book and find that perfect spot to catch up on some reading? If you\u2019re a fan of Amish fiction, there are plenty of great books to choose from by some of the best Amish authors. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, we have former Texas author Jan Drexler\u2019s book, <\/span>Softly Blows the Bugle<\/em> (The Amish of Weaver\u2019s Creek Book 3)<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ 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 she would never have a family of her own. Then Aaron Zook comes home with her brother when the war ends two years later. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite the severity of his injuries, Aaron resolves 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. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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\u2014the one for the heart of the woman he loves. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Welcome back to the Amish community at Weaver’s Creek, where the bonds of family and faith bind up the brokenhearted. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan Drexler’s<\/strong> husband of more than forty years often says she’s never happier than when she’s in the kitchen cooking for someone, and he’s right. With her Amish and Mennonite ancestry and mid-American roots, Jan has always enjoyed cooking from scratch and sharing the subsequent goodies with friends and family. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan and her family have lived all through the Midwest, from Indiana to Texas to Kentucky to South Dakota, with a few others in between. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jan brings a unique understanding of the Amish culture to her writing, with ancestors who were among the first Amish immigrants to Pennsylvania. She has written several books for Love Inspired Historical as well as The Journey to Pleasant Prairie series from Revell. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
