The Little Wild Flower, book 1, Review

The Little Wild Flower, book 1, Amish Romance by Samantha Jillian Bayarr



This is my first time to read a book by Samantha Bayarr and I really like it! I would highly recommend it.  This is a very different "Amish Romance" as far as the genre goes.    Jane's English father moves the family to an Amish community and purchases a former Amish farm after his wife returns home from rehab for alcoholism.   Jane has suffered abuse at her mother's hands during the years of battling alcoholism.   Jane is furious to be living in the dull, boring place and especially to have left behind her friends, so she hides away for the summer.  When she finally comes out of her brooding seclusion, her eyes land on one very HOT Amish young man, Elijah.   There are a great many love matches to come in The Little Wild Flower.   

What I love is that the book does deal with alcoholism, abuse, recovery, and forgiveness as well as purity before marriage and waiting. These issues struck real nerves in me as I have lived their truths as well.  The book series seems to offer hope for others who are also dealing with any of these issues.  The author also has more liberal views allowed by the Amish/Mennonite practices among her characters, as in the weddings and dress.  I also love that Samantha incorporates many Bible verses in this book.   She uses the Bible to support what her characters are experiencing and dealing with.    Please read this book as I think you will also be pleasantly surprised by it!!!

  2. Rhonda, you did a beautiful review of this book! I am reading Book 3 now, slowly, since life has been too busy. You'll love all three books, and by all means read "Unto Others" which is actually the prequel to the others. I read it first instead of 4th in the series. It gave me a very detailed view of the history of the characters in the other three books. It's rather painful to read, but you'll love it!
