I really admired Joanna Schrock. She has amazingly bounced back from a lot of events in her life. I enjoyed this book so much but of course I say this about almost every book I've read. There were a few that I've had trouble getting into. I like the stories that revolve around our Lord and Savior so much because without Him we'd be nothing. He is the truth, the life and the way. We must enter through Him in order to get to the Kingdom of Heaven. I'm believing this is the message that the author

As this story opens we find an impetuous Joanna Shrock as she proposes to the young fellow she has had a crush on since she was a student in Amish school.While she is telling her parents as they travel by their buggy, her mother tries to persuade her that she is not yet ready for marriage, when the unthinkable happens. When Joanna wakes from her nightmare, only to find she wasn’t dreaming, she suffers from the accident, but most of all from the loss of her parents. Andrew was shocked when Joanna...

I like the honest characters in this book even I wanted to shake Joanna a good few times. When the characters of Cameron was introduced I thought I could see the happen ending coming and how it would end but it didn't, which was actually a good thing. I like authors who don't write as though the Amish live in a glass bubble and see the world through rose coloured glasses.

Everytime I read a book from this author, I know it is going to be an unforgettable story that is filled with love, forgiveness and a story that is mesmerizing. I love how the author develops the characters with a soft and gentle spirit about them. Joanna is in the buggy with her parents discussing her desire to marry Andrew. The feelings were a bit strained between her and her parents over the marriage. Her mother was explaining why she thought Joanna was not ready for marriage when suddenly a

The first book by Kathleen Fuller that I read was, ironically, the first book in this series. I read it in a day or two while on vacation last year. I fell in love with her writing while reading that book and was anxiously awaiting the release of this book. Thankfully, as a member of The Fiction Guild, I was sent a copy of this book to review. Would this book be as good? Would the writing and the story just blow me away? Would I still be a fan of the author when finished reading this book? The a...

"An argument. A crash. In an instant, Joanna's world is changed forever."This statement, appearing on the back cover , immediately grabbed my attention. That, along with the most beautiful cover, told me that this was going to be an excellent read. Kathleen Fuller, a favorite author, has never let me down and this book was no disappointment! If anything, I think it was her best book yet!!!The story grabs your attention from the first chapter, giving you a bit of background and enticing you to re...

This book is second in a series called the "Amish of Birch Creek" written by Kathleen Fuller. I did not read the first book but An Unbroken Heart can stand alone without having previously reading book one. I really enjoyed reading this story and put it down once. Kathleen Fuller makes the reader feel the emotions of love, fear, pain, and questions of self-worth and happiness. The main characters in this book are Joanna Schrock and Andrew Beiler.Joanna was arguing with her parents about wanting t...

Also there are other secrets in the family, will they discover what they are and be able to move past them?

A touching read about a young Amish couple finding their way to each other amidst past tragedy and current challenging circumstances. It was also wonderful to see characters from previous books. Strong themes of forgiveness and unconditional love. Very enjoyable read that I recommend ;).

The second book in the Amish of Birch Creek series but it works well as a standalone. I haven't read A Reluctant Bride (though I intend to!) and had no problem diving into this one. Fans of the first book will be thrilled to know that Sadie and Aden play a central role in An Unbroken Heart. They beguiled me enough to ensure that I will be reading their story very soon. Though the book is told from multiple points of view, Joanna is very much at the centre of it all. Diverse personal narratives

An Unbroken Heart is Kathleen Fuller's second book in her Birch Creek series although it can be read as a standalone novel. It follows the life of Joanna Schrock and her family. Joanna is tired of being pushed around. She remembers her days of being bullied on the school yard vividly. Her sisters tell her she needs to stand up for herself but that's easier said than done. It's not that she doesn't want to, it's that she doesn't feel she has it in her to speak up.All of her life Joanna had been s...

This review is also posted on Book by Book.An Unbroken Heart takes Kathleen Fuller’s fans and readers back to Birch Creek and the devastated Schrock family. While A Reluctant Bride focuses on Sadie Schrock, this second Amish of Birch Creek novel spends its pages on one of her younger sisters, Joanna - and her story is a fascinating (and at times, frustrating) one.A car-buggy accident that kills both of her parents leaves Joanna Schrock injured, scarred, and looking at her life - especially her r...

I received this book free as a Giveaway. I really enjoyed this story. I've never read this author's works before, but I'll definitely be picking up some of her other books. the story here was both sweet and realistic. The main character is easy to like and relate to. A well-told story!
