REVIEW: Her Secret Amish Child by Cheryl Williford

Her Secret Amish Child by Cheryl Williford: As a Floridian, it is always fun to read stories that take place in locales i am familiar with including Sarasota, one of the most beautiful areas of Florida. And reading about Pinecraft is extremely interesting, in that there are people from so many different sections of the Plain community and they all seem to live harmoniously. I enjoyed reading this story by Cheryl Williford, whose writing is always detailed and in depth.

In “Her Secret Amish Child”, we meet LIzbeth and her son Benuel as they come home to Pinecraft to live with her father and stepmother, after Lizbeth is widowed. She is seeking a fresh start after being married to a man who was extremely abusive and cruel- a trait he shared with his family, none of which were kind to Lizbeth.

Lizbeth wants to give her young son a chance to have a new life among extended family in Pinecraft, especially given his special needs (ADHD). She also hopes to keep the issue of his true paternity a secret. In Pinecraft she comes face to face with a man from her past, Frederik, who sh never expected to see again. Now that she has, she seeks to be very careful that he doesn’t realize who Benuel truly belongs to. However, Frederik and Benuel hit it off instantly. As Lizbeth becomes reacquainted with Frederik, she also spends considerable time with her father, and getting to know and appreciate her new stepmother. The relationships in this community are truly unique and special.

I invite all readers and fans of stories about Pinecraft to pick up “Her Secret Amish Child”, to see what Lizbeth decides regarding Benuel’s father, and whether Lizbeth is willing to take another chance at happily ever after.

Fredrik Lapp may not know Benuel is his son, but the two soon form an unmistakable bond. And seeing Fredrik again stirs feelings Lizbeth had worked hard to bury. With Fredrick’s affections resurfacing, too, the burden of Lizbeth’s secret is only getting heavier. Revealing the truth could mean a lifetime of happiness together–or the loss of her second chance at forever.
