The Amish Nanny
Bestselling author Mindy Starns Clark and coauthor Leslie Gould offer readers The Amish Nanny, Book 2 in the Women of Lancaster County series, which tells the stories of young Plain women as they explore their roots, connect with family, and discover true love.
Amish-raised Ada Rupp knows it’s time to make a commitment to
the faith and join the church, especially if she wants a future
with the handsome Amish widower Will Gundy.
But when she has the chance to travel to Switzerland as the
caregiver of a young child, she leaps at the opportunity.
Anxious to learn more about her forebears, Ada enlists the help of a young Mennonite scholar named Daniel, but even as she develops feelings for him, she cannot get Will from her mind—or her heart. At a crossroads, Ada must decide what she is willing to give up from the past in order to embrace her future.
“This is the best yet! It is full of love, intrigue, and
restoration of the family core from the start to the present. I
highly recommended this book to every reader.”
—Sandy Davis Posten, Redeemed Books & Gifts
“Once again authors Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould have
engrossed their readers with a complex story of people past and
present, Amish and ‘Englisch,’ adopted and biological. The Amish Nanny contains numerous resources to help the
reader gain further understanding of the Amish way of life, and
will be a fine choice for any book club to undertake.”
—Caroline Daniel
“I enjoyed reading The Amish Nanny. I feel
that the author treated the Amish culture with respect. It allows
the reader to see a bit into the life of the Amish. It was also
written in a way to hold your attention as there was a lot of
action!”
—Harvey Mast, Delaware Mennonite Historical Society
“As Ada said, ‘I wanted the full knowledge of what was out
there, of who I might be.’ Perhaps journeying along with her in
this novel will help answer these questions in the reader’s life. I
recommend this story and others by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie
Gould.”
—Mary Hake
“I read these books with genuine delight—first for the further
revelations of life in the extended Amish family readers were
introduced to in the first book of the series, and second for the
clever way the main character's story spanned both geography and
time. Well done!”
—Elizabeth Cosgriff
“I think you will enjoy meeting Ada as much as you enjoyed
meeting Lexie. The writers, Clark and Gould, work seamlessly
together with one voice keeping the story line cohesive and
interesting.”
—Susan Giesbrecht
“One of the many things I liked about this book was the
attention given to historical details of the Anabaptists in
Switzerland. I also enjoyed the way the authors showed the
complexities involved in trying to live the Plain life in modern
day society.
“I would recommend this book without reservation.”
—Julie Surface Johnson
