Amish Nurse Returns Home

Annie Weaver, an RN living in Philadelphia, is called home when her father has a serious accident, breaking both legs. She has kept the details of her rumschpringe secret from her family. Instead of being off dating and doing many of the things that many Amish teens do during this time of freedom, Annie pursued education, first getting her GED, then going to nursing school. Working at Mercy Hospital and getting attached to her patients, particularly one young cancer patient. But even before her father's accident, Annie was homesick. And afterward, she was more than ready to return home and care for her father and rejoin her community. But fitting in wasn't exactly what she had hoped for. She missed her patients. And most girls of her age in the small Amish community were already married with children of their own. Yet, little by little, Annie, with the wisdom and help of her mother and family begins to learn that she does have a place and purpose within the community, and that God knows exactly what he is doing. Vannetta Chapman is one of my favorite authors and A Simple Amish Christmas is another outstanding example of a faith-filled story with a wonderful message of love and hope.
