All her friends are getting married or having children and now even her job is over. There are no dreams left, but Ivy is realistic and happy to hear that there might be a possibility of working in a shop. Returning home from a visit, Ivy is surprised to find Noah Schlabach visiting with her parents. While she knew his Great-Aunt Cevilla lived in Birch Creek, Ivy had not seen him in over a year as he lived in Iowa and worked as an auctioneer and antique specialist. Now, he's here to help clear out boxes of old things in Cevilla's attic and he needs Ivy's help as the cantankerous Cevilla has insisted that Ivy would be more mindful of certain things in the boxes. Why on earth had Cevilla insisted that the boxes could only be opened when they were both there to do it?
Written by the very well known and respected writer, Kathleen Fuller, WORDS FROM THE HEART is the third book in her highly regarded series called The Amish Letters. WORDS FROM THE HEART is a character driven novel and tells the story of Ivy Yoder who was previously introduced in the first novel, THE PROMISE OF A LETTER. While still delightful as a stand-alone story, Fuller's many fans are sure to appreciate this intriguing story that also contains love letters written between a certain Bunny and CJ while he was serving in the Korean War.
With her solid knowledge of Amish customs and families and a keen sense of plot development, Fuller has crafted a very interesting and inspiring Amish story that weaves the stories of two women who each found different ways to fill their hearts. The elderly Cevilla Schlabach is wonderfully eccentric and blunt with others. Reading WORDS FROM THE HEART almost makes you laugh out loud at Cevilla's antics as she struggles with meddling to move Noah and Ivy together or to "Let God" have a chance.
Amish story fans as well as those who believe in the power of love and forgiveness are sure to enjoy WORDS FROM THE HEART as well as Kathleen Fuller's wonderful series that weaves romance and correspondence to find the right mailbox in the heart!
Book Summary
Her fingertips brushed against something else in the box of doilies. She lifted a bundle of letters, neatly tied with a thin red ribbon . . .
Ivy Yoder hasn’t heard from John King in over a year. She knows it’s time to let go of the idea that they will one day marry, but she’s humiliated to be one of the oldest single women in her Amish community of Birch Creek. When quirky Cevilla Schlabach asks her to help clean out an attic, Ivy is grateful for the distraction.
Noah Schlabach isn’t from Birch Creek, or even Ohio. His job as an auctioneer takes him around the country and away from a typical Amish life, but he still remains devoted to his family. So when his aging aunt asks him to help clean out her attic, he agrees. Plus, who knows what curious items he might find up there?
As Noah and Ivy work side by side, they come across a different kind of treasure: a packet of letters written during the Korean War. Soon they are swept up in the story of two young people falling in love—even as they remain determined not to fall in love themselves.
Words from the Heart is a moving story of lost love letters, fragile fears, and the beauty of taking another step forward.
