The Clash of the Titles Blog Alliance is proud to share great August
release with its readers.
Ink still damp from the presses, Living in Harmony by Mary Ellis, currently
sits on a store shelf near you! Want more good news? It’s the first in a
series—perfect time to jump on board.
Living in Harmony is the first book in bestselling author Mary Ellis's New Beginnings series. It's about fresh starts and love...and how faith in God and His perfect plan for our lives provides us with the peace and joy we desire.
Amy King--young, engaged, and Amish--faces difficult challenges in her life when she suddenly loses both of her parents in a house fire. Her fiancé, John Detweiler, persuades her and her sister Nora to leave Lancaster County and make a new beginning with him in Harmony, Maine, where he has relatives who can help the women in their time of need.
John's brother Thomas and sister-in-law Sally readily open their home to the three newcomers. Wise beyond his years, Thomas, a minister in the district, refuses to marry Amy and John upon their arrival, suggesting instead a period of adjustment and counseling. During this time Amy discovers an aunt who was shunned. She wishes to reconnect with her, but this puts a strain on her relationship with John.
Can John and Amy find a way to live in happily in Harmony before making a lifetime commitment to one another?
For those addicted to Amish stories, you
won’t want to miss this one. To everyone else, this might be the book that
gets you hooked on this
wildfire genre.
Here’s what reviewer Rachel Brand of the Christian Manifest o has to say about Living in Harmony:
Just when you think nothing new and original can come out of the Amish genre, a book like this comes along and proves that you’re completely wrong.
It’s hard to express exactly what I loved so much about Living in
Harmony. It’s not just the setting, the new community and the realistic
secondary characters that made this novel so refreshing and unique. Mary
Ellis crafted her hero and heroine as
incredibly relate-able& nbsp;characters, flawed human beings who prove
that even the Amish don’t have perfect relationships or marriages.
Each character had their own personality and purpose in the novel, which means that there’s bound to be at least one character that every reader can relate to.
If you need a little bit more realism in your Amish fiction, or just don’t want to read a happily-ever- after romance, then Living in Harmony is the book for you.
