Publisher's summary

Addie Byler may be Apple Creek's resident wallflower, but she knows she has a lot to offer—and much to be grateful for. Raised by her loving grandmother, she lives a life filled with good friends and hard work. Wary of romance, Addie assumes no man will look beyond her glasses and her tendency to talk to her rescue donkey, Snickers—until the day she finds a note from a secret admirer. A prank, most likely. But then, a second note arrives . . .

It's not that Daniel Miller doesn't like Addie, he just doesn't want to court her. She's too willful, too chatty, too odd. Yet when he learns she's been teased because she's never had a beau, he decides to send a little note of encouragement. One note leads to another. And when Addie begins replying with thoughtful messages of her own, he's struck by her sweetness and warmth.

As chilly winter melts into spring, what began as a gesture of sympathy becomes something much deeper. Daniel fears revealing the truth, but with courage, faith—and a helping hand from their close-knit community—Apple Creek's most unlikely couple may find their path to happiness . . .

Refreshing Lite Happy Story!

This is a new author to me and I will be reading more of her books. I'm used to reading Amish novels that are more "hard core" Old Order Amish Life. So this was a nice change of pace. The book started off a little slow but then picked up and had my attention clear to the end. Actually couldn't put it down! I was pleasantly surprised. Hope you like it too.

A sweet surprise

I expected a quick “Hallmark” romance but got so much more. Yes, it is a light, clean (kissing only) romance but it also touches on some tender issues like abandonment and bullying. Nothing too dark but a couple parts brought genuine tears to my eyes. It also touches on what can happen when we choose to see the good and acknowledge Gods merciful hand in our lives.
It’s a book worth your time even light enough to brighten your day but deep enough to keep you thinking about the characters after you’ve finished the book.
<spoiler>…
I especially love that the real theme of the book is that we are never “better” or “more/less worthy” than anyone else. And the damage we do when we think we are…whether you are shunning them, trying to change them, or condescending to grace them with your presence…whether that be a person in the community, a family member or ourselves.
And I loved the sweet message that we can change. We can repent (change, turn yourself around) and be better.
And how one person can lead a group to shun or to accept.
Sweet story.

Really good!

I really liked this book. Wasn’t the typical “You’ve Got Mail” scenario like I expected… much better.
Highly recommend!

I think there were two characters with the same name. Was a little confusing at first

Amishly Happy

"HAPPILY EVER AMISH" is another wonderful heartwarming story. Shelley Shepard Gray hit a homerun out of the ballpark with this tremendous story. I felt like I was right there with the characters as they experienced the ups and downs life threw at them. Greater then that, I was right there with them when GOD'S everlasting love showed them HE was always with them and that HIS love was greater then any worldly challenge. I love how Shelley shares HIS love in her writing. I'm looking forward to another great story. The narration done by Tavia Gilbert is fantastic. I think everyone needs to listen to this story.

Nice

The storyline was interesting. A little suspense not a lot of complications but very well put together. The donkey aspect was new to me .
