Amelia's March Arrangement by Mindy Steele

Amelia's March Arrangement

Book Summary

One funeral. Three orphaned boys. And two hearts torn between duty and desire.


Owen Miller had no plans in returning to Cherry Grove, Kentucky until now. At the wake of his brother’s funeral, Owen discovers three young nephews need him to stay as well as the young aunt now responsible for them. He will do his part, for a time, but his life isn’t here anymore.

Amelia Delagrange lost more than a sister. She lost her best friend. No one knew her heart like Mary did. Now with three boys needing her, Amelia must muster up the strength to become a mother to them. She cannot let their uncle take them, even if her only option is to marry a man she doesn’t love. What choice does she have?

One quick decision is about to change the lives of many.

My Thoughts

Amelia’s March Arrangement by Mindy Steele is a touching Amish tale.  The narrative was both inspiring and poignant, featuring characters and scenarios that many readers can identify with.  I felt for Amelia, who at eighteen becomes responsible for her sister’s three boys.  The author illustrates how a tragic loss impacts a family, but shows that eventually life improves.  I especially liked the green tin of recipes that Amelia found in a kitchen cupboard and how the recipes played into the romance. 

Amelia's March Arrangement is the third installment of An Amish Romance Birthday Series, and it can be read as a standalone.  A quote from the book that stuck with me is, “Life doesn’t always go as planned, dochter, but Gott always gives you the means to make it better than it was before.”  Amelia's March Arrangement is stirring story with a tragic death, busy boys, parent getting treatments, an unexpected uncle, the bishop’s pronouncement, an unexpected proposal, special recipes, and hoping for a happily ever after. 

Amelia's March Arrangement can be obtained from Amazon*. The fourth book in An Amish Romance Birthday Series is Arie's April Adoption by Rachel J. Good which comes out April 1.  You can find the other books in An Amish Romance Birthday Series here.  If you follow Mindy Steele on Amazon, they will email you when the author has a new book release. Mindy Steele's next release is A Heart on Consignment (digital version out on March 15 and paperback on April 1) which is the twelfth book in The Heart of the Amish series
I wanted to share with you a current picture of Quackers, the duck.  Quackers (the duck nearest the doormat) is one of the baby ducks that appeared with Mama Duck about two months ago.  Quackers is now larger than her mother (the duck eating at the food dish).  Quackers is adorable. Please pardon the look of my porch.  I am getting ready to put together some furniture out there.  I willl return on Thursday, March 5 with Booking for Trouble by Jenn McKinlay.  It is the 16th A Library Lover's Mystery.  I hope that you have a lovely day.  I am enjoying the beautiful spring weather.  Take care and Happy Reading!
