The Amish Nanny

by Mindy Starns Clark, Leslie Gould

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

Ada Rupp is set to marry widower Will Gundy and commit to the church when she receives an offer to travel to Switzerland as a nanny. Ada is thrilled with the opportunity to learn more about her Amish ancestors. Aided in her research by young Mennonite scholar Daniel, Ada soon develops feelings for him, but she can't forget Will. She will need to make some major decisions about whether to live in the past or make a future with Will back home. VERDICT The authors' series debut, The Amish Midwife, was a Christian Book Expo best seller. Fans of that title won't be disappointed with this one. Its even pacing and thoroughly human characters will also satisfy those who can't get enough Amish fiction.
