The more time she spends with him, the more Miriam begins to care. Will Matthew consider a future with Miriam? Nursing Her Amish Neighbor by Marta Perry is the sixth book in the Brides of Lost Creek series. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed this engaging Amish novel. I thought it was well-written and the story moved along at a good pace. There are good, developed characters in this story. I enjoyed getting to know Miriam, Matthew, and their families. Miriam's household is lively thanks to her siblings. She has a thoughtful and caring mother who dispenses wise advice. Nursing Her Amish Neighbor is a character driven story. The author captured the Amish culture with their rules and traditions. I appreciated that this was not a story where everything is rosy. We get a realistic view of life among the Amish. Matthew's family lost one son and the other son is angry (bitter). The King family needs Miriam to come in and help not only Matthew, but the whole family. The themes in this story are forgiveness, healing, family, and hope. While the story does have some predictability, it did not diminish my reading pleasure. The ending will leave readers smiling. I can always count on Marta Perry to provide me with a diverting and satisfying tale. Nursing Her Amish Neighbor is an inspiring Amish story that will ensure you have a messy house because you will become immersed in this story and completely forget about your household tasks.
