Stacking the Shelves #13

This weekend I want to showcase two Amish fiction novels that will be published on March 1, 2022. One of them is the conclusion to the Plain Patterns trilogy by Leslie Gould. The other book is the newest release by Wanda Brunstetter, The Sugarcreek Surprise. I love both of these authors and cannot wait to buy copies of them for my Kindle. 

In Threads of Hope Tally Smucker enjoys her quiet life of reading and quilting. However, she has to deal with her sorrow over her mother's illness. When a former Plain friend, Danielle, exhibits the symptoms of PTSD from her service in the army, Tally invites her to join a group of quilters at a fabric shop called Plain Patterns. Here they both learn about the plight of a WWI soldier and the girl he left behind. The story resonates with both of them but for different reasons.

The Brunstetter book is the second book in her Creektown Discoveries trilogy. In this story we meet Lisa Miller, an Amish schoolteacher in Sugarcreek, Ohio. Lisa has a determined admirer in Paul Herchberger. Lisa is just as determined to avoid Paul's advances. After losing both of her parents as a child, Lisa fears loving others because loving turns into loss. I can guess how this will turn out. After all, this is Amish fiction. I will enjoy the read anyway.

What books are you stacking your shelves with?
