The Amish Quiltmaker's Unexpected Baby

Amish Quiltmaker Series, Book 1

By: Jennifer Beckstrand

Narrated by: Rebecca Mitchell

In the first in an engaging new series, an Amish quiltmaker moves from Pennsylvania to a new settlement in Colorado, where adventure, challenges, and love are waiting....

Esther Zook is starting over after her father's death, piecing together a new life with as much care as she puts into her intricate quilts. When her wayward sister abandons her baby, it throws all those plans for a fresh start asunder. Esther had accepted her status as an old maid - but a mother? And a single one, at that? Not that she hasn't noticed Levi Kiem, the eligible young man who's making repairs in her house. Yet he surely has no interest in Esther as anything other than a friend....

It's true that Levi has plenty of marriage prospects. His dat has even offered to send him to Ohio to find a wife. Yet the more time he spends with Esther, the more intrigued he becomes. Feisty and independent, she's nothing like the wife he once imagined for himself. Yet just as a quilt is crafted from contrasting cloth, they might find that together, they can create a family to cherish....

Great Story

A wholesome story that kept me listening. The book was well written and it was nice to have a clean drama to read.

Nice wholesome story

Love the book. It was captivating without all the over stimulation. I would recommend to just about abyone

great, wholesome love story

the story was really good. while I am not familiar with Amish life, it is clear the ups and downs of family relations exist anywhere and everywhere. the author"s description of the sisters was powerful and perhaps hit a little too close to home for me. at one point, I was unsure if I would be able to finish the book for that very reason. I did get through and found it to be an enjoyable, although gut-wrenching at times, read.

annoying ear thing

story was cute and predictable. barely made it through due to the eye rolling and annoying habit of putting weird objects behind the ear of main character. cute at first but near the middle became unbelievable objects that no one would put behind their ear. ruined the story.

Different Amish Story

Very enjoyable listen. The story is much more believable than many. It captured my attention from the very beginning until the end.
