My Review

Allie’s Amish Family Miracle is my introduction to The Amish Women of Lawrence County series and while I am jumping right into the middle of this series, I feel like it was the perfect introduction to Lawrence County and its inhabitants.

This story is “a journey of the heart” for Allie as she navigates a new way of life as a young bride in circumstances that are less than ideal, and my heart hurt for her. I spent a lot of time feeling bewildered as I read. I think we’ve all dealt with a Saloma at one time or another in our lives, so the frustration of dealing with someone who is so incredibly stubborn and won’t listen is frustrating to experience and read about.

There are quite a few irons in the fire, with the narration switching from multiple characters, but the story’s message shines through no matter, and it is a powerful truth of forgiveness and coming together in times of hardship and strife. The redemption arc stole the show for me. Seeing a tragedy turn into a blessing is always a sight to behold. It started with conflict and ends with solidarity, acceptance, and love. It doesn’t get much better than that!

My Rating: ★★★★

About the Author

Tracy Fredrychowski is a country girl, author, homesteader and everything simple living. She has a passion for writing about the simpler side of life, much like the life she lived growing up in rural Pennsylvania.

Her life has always been intertwined with the Amish, and it’s only fitting that she has a genuine passion for their simplicity, sense of community and God-centered lives.

Growing up in Northwest Pennsylvania she spent her childhood immersed deep in Amish Country. The clip-clop of horse and buggy woke her each morning as Amish men drove past her childhood home on their way to work. As a young woman, she was traumatized by an Amish murder that involved a family member and changed her life forever.

Even though she currently lives in South Carolina her travels take her through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin’s Amish Country every year. During those stops, she researches the communities she visits and prides herself on writing Amish fiction that truly represents the Amish culture. She considers herself very fortunate to have made friends in those communities and values the information they share and wants nothing more than to represent their lifestyle as accurately as possible.
