Book Description

April 1, 2011 The Wayne County Series

As an Amish midwife, Abigail Graber loves bringing babies into the world. But when a difficult delivery takes a devastating turn, Abigail is faced with some hard choices. Despite her best efforts, the young mother dies—but the baby is saved.

When a heartless judge confines Abigail to the county jail for her mistakes, her sister Catherine comes to care for her children while Daniel works his fields. Catherine meets Daniel’s reclusive cousin, Isaiah, who’s deaf and thought to be simple minded by his community. She endeavors to teach him to communicate and discovers he possesses unexpected gifts and talents.

While Abigail searches for forgiveness, Catherine changes lives and, in return, finds love, something long elusive in her life. And Isaiah discovers God, who cares nothing about our handicaps or limitations in His sustaining love.

An inspirational tale of overcoming grief, maintaining faith, and finding hope in an ever-changing world.

About This Series: Fans of superb Amish fiction will welcome the rich and moving stories of The Wayne County series by the bestselling author of A Widow’s Hope, Never Far from Home, and The Way to a Man’s Heart.

Editorial Reviews

Review



"A story of perseverance and faith, but also of a love that
accepts, protects and learns to do what is best for the other. A sweet
romance with characters not afraid to live their faith.
"
--Author's Choice Reviews

From the Author

I had heard from so many residents of Wayne County about an Amish woman whose faith had been tested while she was incarcerated that I had to write this book. It is a tale about staying strong even when we're unfairly judged and when our lives run off-course. Also, the issue of dealing with grief is something everyone must confront, sooner or later. There are those who can help, if we'll only reach out a hand. I hope you enjoy the first of the Wayne County series!

More About the Author

Mary Ellis grew up close to the eastern Ohio Amish community, Geauga County, where her parents often took her to farmer's markets and woodworking fairs. She loved their peaceful, agrarian lifestyle, their respect for the land, and their strong sense of Christian community.

She and her husband now live close to the largest population of Amish in the country--a four-county area in central Ohio. They often take weekend trips to purchase produce, meet Amish families, and enjoy a simpler way of life.

Mary enjoys reading, traveling, gardening, bicycling and swimming. But her favorite pasttime is snorkeling, which she seldom gets to do living in Ohio. She is a former middle school teacher and a former saleswoman for the world's best chocolate company. Now she writes full-time and wonders why her house is still dusty and her garden has so many weeds. The third of the Miller Family series, The Way to a Man's Heart, will be released in July.

5.0 out of 5 stars Abigails New Hope, March 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Abigail's New Hope (The Wayne County Series) (Paperback)
Abigail Graber is an amish midwife- Abigail delivers a baby- but the mother looses too much blood and dies!!! Abby has to go to jail to wait for a trial. Abbys sister Catherine comes to stay with Abigails family to help with the children till Abigail can get out of jail. Catherine meets her brother-in-laws (Abbys husbands) cousin who is thought to be simple minded- come to find out- Issiah is very smart- but is deaf!!! Nathan Fisher has to adjust to a new life raising a new born infant without a wife to help him.

Will Abby end up being freed of charges and let out of jail??? Will Catherine find love in a man who is deaf??? Will Nathan Fisher learn to cope with raising a child all alone??? Will Nathan be forgiving to the midwife Abby who was the one who delivered his baby boy and could not save his wife???

A very very sweet and loving story from beginning to end- I just hated to see the story end- hopefully Mary Ellis has a sequel to follow!!! Definetly a book that any amish reader would want to buy!!! I give it a two thumbs up all the way!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Amish Fiction, March 19, 2011
This review is from: Abigail's New Hope (The Wayne County Series) (Paperback)
This book was very enjoyable and a very quick read! It showed that we all have to live with our decisions. I thought that Abigail did the right thing, but in the eyes of the law she was wrong! Just like a sin is a sin!

I loved the way Catherine is able to communicate with Issiah. What a fun time she and the children have together, including Issiah!

My heart went out to Nathan who loses his young wife, and now has little Abraham to take care of.

You can see God's hand in helping his people! Abagail's presence in the Jail also has an effect on those around her. I also loved those who nagged at Nathan to return to his Lord, and deal with his grief.

I would recommend this book to all who enjoy a good story and life in the Amish community.

I purchased this book and the opinions expressed are my own.
