Purchase options and add-ons

Lenny happened to notice his blurry reflection on the windowpane. He knew it was his image; nevertheless, he couldn't recognize his own face. Those almond-shaped eyes and dark-brown hair belonged to him, yet, inside, he felt disconnected from his past, having never known his own father. Grandpa had insisted, "Leonard, needs to come spend a summer at the home-place ..." A teenage boy, struggling with his identity, reluctantly leaves his modern, city-life behind and enters the slow-paced, mysterious world of the Amish. Grandpa teaches Lenny to farm with draft horses, a tranquil experience that seeps into his soul, changing his perspective. A neighbor girl appears while he is working in the fields, weaving a romance in the fabric of his summer. Lenny discovers that everyday on an Amish farm is an adventure. Thunderstorms rumble above, as a fragile relationship, between an Amish family and their non-Amish visitor, begins to unravel. Daybreak in a cow pasture, plowing with horses, enchanting moonlit buggy rides, and picturesque sunsets are all part of life, Under the Heavens.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Thomas Nye, author of the beloved Amish Horses Series, writes Christian romance novels with a historical flare and a touch of humor.

During grade school, Thomas developed an interest in history by reading anything he could find about horses and early American history. As a teenager, he moved to an area with a large Amish population, and it was as if he had fallen into his favorite book. His love of farm life, history, and horses all came together in real-life experiences with his Amish friends, who also happen to share his Christian faith. Thomas purchased draft horses from Amish farmers in his neighborhood and set out to learn the art of working with horses in harness. After years of buying, selling, and trading workhorses with Amish farmers in his community, Thomas had many wonderful memories of those experiences. The Amish Horses Book Series is a set of novels based on those adventures. Under the Heavens (Book I) was published in December 2013. He followed with Catbird Singing (Book II) 2015, English River (Book III) 2016; his other novels include Samson and Amish Delilah 2019, and Remain True: Amana 2023.

Thomas also has two published novellas, Whispering to Horses 2015 and Amish Park 2017. He has contributed to numerous anthology books as well. His blog, amishhorses.blogspot.com has attracted worldwide attention as a source of information about Amish life and also serves as his website to keep readers informed about his current works. The blog highlights draft horses and a glimpse of Thomas' experiences on the edge of an Amish community.

Thomas and his wife, Shari, live in Eastern Iowa on an acreage her grandparents purchased in 1918. They have 5 grown children and 9 grandchildren.

I really enjoy this book I really do

Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018

I really enjoy this book I really do, it has held my interest from the beginning of reading this. It is about the Amish country & people, in all what they do in real life & how they live. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat. We travel to Amish country quite often & now I can relate things in this book, also seeing the Amish in the fields. This is a very fascinating book to read.

Great story of a young man who goes to live with his Amish relatives and is put to work as the "horse boy" of the year. He puts in crops with horse teams. It is very well written. It was like being in this young man's shoes.

Everything in this book reminded me of home. I grew up in Kalona, my mother was a Gingerich, our Gingerich homestead was south of Yoder Feeds and my grandpa could have been the one in this book.

I only gave it four stars because it lagged in a few places. If I was judging on taking a walk down memory lane, I would definitely give it a 5-star rating!

A wonderful and easy read by and up and coming author: Thomas Nye

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2014

A Wonderful and easy read by a up and coming author, Thomas Nye. Difficult to imagine that this is his first book. I admire the detail with which he so eloquently describes his favorite subjects; Horses and the Amish. Thomas still manages to pull at the heartstrings by incorporating a touching love story. I'm anxious for the 2nd in this series.

I loved this book. It was informative about the Amish way of life and how a young boy learned that a simple, hard working life can be a great life. I can't wait for the next book to come out. It was really worth reading and keeps you interested throughout. Great job Tom.

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is a book of self discovery of a young boy. It is a book of twists and turns. It leaves you laughing and crying and a sense of understanding of horses and young boys.
