      This is probably about a 3.5 for me. Rating shown may differ if site doesn't have half star ratings.It was nice to have an Amish fiction book that didn't revolve around the "running around" time and deciding whether to join the church and romance. This book contains 4 novellas that each feature an Amish family expecting or having a baby. "In His Father's Arms" by Beth Wiseman: a young couple's first child is born with Down's Syndrome. Both parents struggle with fears and it affects their marriage. I kind of wished they'd talked out their fears earlier."A Son for Always" by Amy Clipston: Carolyn and Joshua are having their first child together, but Carolyn has an older son that has a different father. Though Joshua would rather have her home full-time (and Carolyn seems to want that too), Carolyn struggles with thinking she has to provide for her older son's future because Joshua might not accept him or treat him as his own. Again, if the couple would have sat down an aired their thoughts and fears to each other sooner..."A Heart Full of Love" by Kathleen Fuller: A woman blinded in an accident gives birth to twins and her mother, for reasons of her own, feels overprotective of her granddaughters--so much so that she assumes much of the mothering role that should be her daughter's. It's a good lesson that sometimes the way one generation deals with an event isn't the best way to deal with it."An Unexpected Blessing" by Vannetta Chapman: Deals with pregnancy in your 40s. One of the themes is change. Letting go of dreams you have for one of your children (David), embracing newer ways when they make logical sense (the birthing center), etc.
    • 4/5
      These four novellas all deal with a new birth. Each story deals with some kind of problem. Whether it is a past tragedy, a secret long hidden, a physical disability, an age-related challenge, a mistake that’s hard to forgive, or a lack of trust, all the main characters in these stories have something to overcome. It is a well written collection, and though readers are likely to have a favorite author or story, all are interesting.
    • 5/5
      The first story by Beth Wiseman will make your heart ache, to have an imperfect child is so very hard. All that anticipation looking forward to the birth, and then the heartache of not knowing what to do, or how to cope, and it is the same feeling no matter which culture we live in?That is what Ruth Anne and Levi must come to terms with, to be there for their child and each other. As we read along we hope they will find their way, and be there for each other.Carolyn and Joshua are about to welcome a new addition to their new family. Joshua has now adopted Ben, but Carolyn is worried, and has deep fears that once the new little one comes, Joshua won’t feel the same about Ben. How can she give up her income and feel secure that her child will be taken care of? The power of prayer, she just needs to lean on her faith, but can she?Kathleen Fuller’s novella, will bring tears to your eyes, so much tragedy in their past. Elle has over come most of the problems she has faced with her blindness, and now she a Chris are expecting their first baby. What surprises they are in for, and trying to keep her mother from taking over because of her handicap, you are going to love how Chris handles her.The final novella is by Vannetta Chapman and at 42 Etta has a new baby, but is yearning for the return of her son David. Loved how God has placed the love of each child on these parents hearts, even if the rules of their religion is contrary to how they feel.These stories will warm your heart, and as you can tell by the title, there is a new baby involved. You can read one in a sitting, but hard to stop at one. Enjoy!I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.

      In His Father’s Arms by Beth Wiseman: This is a story about a couple that struggles with a baby with Down syndrome. What they do not know if how to deal with it.

      Levi is also struggling to deal with his little boy illness. He knows his little cousin died from this illness. He afraid that is son will be taken from him. Do learn to deal with their little boy medical issues and learn to trust God?

      A Son for Always by Amy Clipston: Carolyn is happy to know that she is a pregnant with her and Joshua first child together. She worried that she will have to keep her job and financially secure Ben's future.

      Joshua seems to want to let Carolyn that she can stop working at the hotel. Carolyn is still having doubts that Joshua will help her with Ben future. Even though, Joshua has adopted Ben and wanted Ben to have his last name.

      Carolyn needs a sign that Joshua will treat her son Ben as his own. She gets that sign, but I do not want to tell you when or how. That would be giving the ending away.

      An Amish Cradle is a wonderful collection of stories. It contains four stories by four different authors. The books deal with four expectant couples and how they deal with a pregnancy or child that is not what they expected. This is a lovely collection of Amish Christian fiction by some of the best authors (Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, and Vanetta Chapman). In His Father’s Arms (by Beth Wiseman) Ruth Anne and Levi deal with having a son who has Down’s syndrome. A Son for Always by Amy Clipston has Carolyn and Joshua Glick dealing with having their first child together while Carolyn still deals with old feelings for having a child out of wedlock sixteen years previously. In A Heart Full of Love (by Kathleen Fuller) Ellie and Christopher Miller will have to handle having twin’s with Ellie’s blindness and her very controlling mother. The last book An Unexpected Blessing (by Vanetta Chapman) Etta and Mose Bontrager will deal with having another child late in their lives when they least expected it as well as missing one of their children who is no longer at home (nor have they heard from him recently). Each couple’s faith will be tested as they learn to accept God’s will. I loved all the stories in the book and look forward to reading more books by these wonderful authors. Happy Reading! I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley/Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
