<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Amish widow Sarah Yoder has been struggling to raise her two teenaged sons and provide a home where family and members of her Old Order Amish church can find fellowship and friendship. Though she is close to her in-laws, lately it feels like her relationship with her boys is splintering. Her stepson Simon wants to move out west with his cousins to find work. And her youngest, Caleb, is spending far too much time over at the tumbledown home of a man who left the church long ago. Henry Byler only returned recently to Willow Creek when he inherited the family farm--under protest--and now seems caught in a struggle between the faith of his childhood and the world he's come to know.<br /> <br /> Ruth Lehman, the local <em>Dokterfraa</em>, believes Sarah should use her gift for growing plants to become an herbal healer, too. Sarah is reluctant, however, uncertain if caring for others will take her away from her family--the place where she believes God wants her. But when she feels called to help members of her community, she soon discovers that the heart can be scarred as deeply as the body. As she compiles her herbs, she waits for God to do his healing work in a man who rues a harsh decision, in a lonely prodigal who has lost everything, and maybe even in a herbalist-in-training who firmly believes she will never love again.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] genuine must read for those who love Amish fiction. Readers will not be able to put this book down until finished, it is just that great and filled with rich characterization.... HERB OF GRACE is a five star recommended book."--<b><i>AmishReader.blogspot.com</b></i><br><br>"I absolutely loved <em>The Hidden Life</em>! Nothing is as enjoyable as feeling the same way the characters do throughout the story and believing that you are mixed into the same world....<em>The Hidden Life</em> is full of conflict, romance, and drama! Overall I felt Adina captured the Amish way of life with fine detail. Be prepared to become an even bigger fan of Adina's after you read this book and you will be eagerly anticipating the next installment <em>The Tempted Soul</em> just like me!"--<b><i>Destination Amish on <em>The Hidden Life</em></b></i><br><br>"I do declare that Adina has saved the best story for last. I loved this book! Saying that it is a heartfelt story just doesn't seem like it does the book justice."--<b><i>Destination Amish on <i>The Tempted Soul</i></b></i><br><br>"Senft is a talented author and her research on various herbs is a welcome surprise to readers....This sweet romance has a believable storyline and a lot of heart."--<b><i><i>RT Book Reviews</i></b></i><br><br>"Senft perfectly captures the Amish setting of the novel, causing me both to long for the simplicity and beauty of the Amish way, but also to ponder with puzzlement some of the decisions made by the Ordnung. Amelia is an endearing character, and there were a few laugh-out-loud moments for me that I wasn't even expecting. Although this is the first book I have read by the author, she has been added to my "must read" list. If you are a fan of Amish fiction, then plan on reading <em>The Wounded Heart </em>soon!"--<b><i>Christian Fiction Addiction on <em>The Wounded Heart</em></b></i><br><br>"This relatable story, which launches Senft's Amish Quilt series, shows that while waiting to see God's plan can be difficult, remembering to put Jesus first, others next and yourself last ("JOY") is necessary."--<b><i><i>Romantic Times </i>on <i>The Wounded Heart</i></b></i><br><br>"With a complex mix of both younger and older characters and a complex story line, this book is truly a success."--<b><i>Brodart Books & Library Services</b></i><br><br>"With this quaint, gentle read, Senft's promising series is off to a good start and will make a nice alternative for Jerry S. Eicher readers who want to try a new author."--<b><i><em>Library Journal </em>on <em>The Wounded Heart</em></b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>After leaving the plain church in which she grew up, <strong>Adina Senft</strong> earned an M.A. in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University in Pennsylvania. Between books, Adina enjoys playing the piano and Celtic harp, making historical costumes, and spoiling her flock of rescue chickens.
