This Amish story was action packed an a great book to read.
GENRE: AMISH ROMANCEPUBLISHER: THOMAS NELSONPUBLICATION DATE: AUGUST 02, 2011RATING: 3.5 OUT OF 5 – GOODPROS: Storylines provide an interesting contrast; easy, compelling readCONS: Villain seemed slightly caricatured and had unconvincing motives; found it hard to sympathise with one of the central characters; romance is relatively predictableSeveral years ago, Adam Otto left his family and Amish community, breaking Emma Shetler’s heart in the process. Emma never stopped grieving for Adam, and no...
I enjoy Kathleen Fuller’s writing style and the transparency of her characters.In Treasuring Emma, Emma learns that she doesn’t need to be dependent upon Adam fir her happiness and contentment, but instead that when she relies on God, HE will bring His best plans for her life together.Adam goes through great growing pains, leaves the Amish faith, but through it all...God’s plans unfold and Adam grows into the man he was called to be and appreciates his upbringing, values he was taught and how to...
Emma never forgot her best friend Adam, even though he was bann and excommunicated from the Amish community. Despite others expressing interest in her, she holds true to her heart and Adam discovers life outside isn't what he was looking for after all.
I loved this story. Just did not want to put it down.
Not as good or heartwarming as her stuff usually is. The Mark plot felt awkward and forced. So many things were just glossed over.
It's no secret that I love a good Amish story and Treasuring Emma is definitely that. If you love Amish fiction like I do, you will love this book. But, if you aren't a fan of the Amish, I bet you'll love this book too. Why? Because there's nothing typecast in Fuller's characters. Many people think that Amish stories are sweet little ditties about forgiving characters who love the Lord and want nothing more in life than to be obedient.Nuh-uh!Not in Treasuring Emma. Let's see, we have a heroine w...
This was a extremely well written Amish romance novel with great character development. I enjoyed seeing the relationships between both Emma and Adam as well as Clara and Peter be restored. I liked the themes of forgiving those who've wronged us and of trusting God for provision. The only problem I had with this novel is that I'm not sure how I feel about the author leaving a con artist in the process of wooing another victim. However, I really loved this novel, and it has earned its place on my...
I love the other books I have read by Fuller. But somehow I just didn’t connect with anyone in the story. Emma the main character seemed to be a little wish washy and wasn’t able to forgive Adam for his past abandonment. But she also didn’t seem to move on with her life. I will read the next book in the series because I do want to know what happens. Library book.
I loved this book!! Great story!! Didn't like her sister at first!! Didn't like mark!! Glad her and mark got back together!! Can't wait to read the next book in the series!! Love this author's books!!
This is a book that you want to get to the end to find out what happens, but you never want it to end! It is Emma's and Adam's story, along with a lot of family! The book opens at the home of Emma and her Grandmother, just after burying Emma's Mom Mary. Adam has left being Amish and was embracing the English life, or was he? When Leona, Emma's Grandmother, writes him to tell of Mary's passing and that his Mom Carol has not been well, he decides to come home for a visit. Emma is trying to figure
Treasuring Emma had me from page one. When I had to put the book down I couldn't wait to pick it back up. Emma Shetler's story begins with the death of her Mother. Emma feels completely dead inside. It was Emma and her Grandmother Leona now. Of course there was Clara, her Sister, but they had never gotten along. Clara, her husband Peter and their three children lived in their own little house not too far from Emma and her Grandmother's.Emma's first love and best friend Adam left the Amish commun...
Ohhhhh this book hit home - on many levels. I saw myself in both Clara and Emma and found lessons I could learn from each. The element of mystery included in "Treasuring Emma" added an extra boost to an already wonderful story, and the questions left unanswered at the end of the story provide the perfect lead-in for the next book in the series. I'm excited to see how Fuller knits the threads together.
This book was quite good and I liked it. The reason for 3 stars is that it wasn't as good as Written in Love also by K. Fuller which was my first book by the author.
Not a bad storyNot a bad story so long as you don't think too hard about the details. The main issue is that in a secular romance communication issues are expected because people are "lone wolves" . But the Amish have a foundation of family and community, two things that shouldn't exist without excellent communication...except that's exactly what happens. Religious communities are usually governed by submission; everyone is submissive to someone older or in the case of women, male. Real communic...
Treasuring Emma by Kathleen Fuller is a very pleasing book. This is my first Kathleen Fuller book. Emma is grieving for her mom who recently died from cancer. Although her sister was not able to help in taking care of their mother while she was sick. Clara, the sister have ideas to help with their financial situation. But Emma is not ready to tackle with it just yet. Emma loved Adam who left the Amish lifestyle and broke her heart. Then Adam came back, sparkling all of Emma's old emotions. Mark
Young love, wanting to explore the outside world, and Adam felt empty.A note of his mother being ill brings him back to Middlefield. The first thought he hand and felt was peace. Getting rid of the trappings and asking forgiveness was one step. For Emma she didn’t want heartbreak again. She needed help keeping up the house and her grandmother. A story of forgiveness, even from Adams dad, and Emma.
Returning A young man who left Amish life returns to find the girl he left still angry with him. Life is confusing for Emma as two men peruse her, her grandmother becomes ill and her sister tries to force her into a business she doesn't.
Very good story - enjoyed reading this book. The end part was a mystery - which you don't often find in this type of literature. I will try to find more books by this author.
Wow!Loved this read! The plot was great! The characters were great! Excellent! Going to buy the next one! Read this!
