Interpretation As Books The Amish Midwife (Women of Lancaster County #1)

A dusty carved box containing two locks of hair and a century-old letter regarding property in Switzerland, and a burning desire to learn about her biological family lead nurse-midwife Lexie Jaeger from her home in Oregon to the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country. There she meets Marta Bayer, a mysterious lay-midwife who desperately needs help after an Amish client and her baby die.

Lexie steps in to assume Marta’s patient load even as she continues the search for her birth family, and from her patients she learns the true meaning of the Pennsylvania Dutch word demut, which means “to let be” as she changes from a woman who wants to control everything to a woman who depends on God.

A compelling story about a search for identity and the ability to trust that God securely holds our whole life—past, present, and future.

Appraise Based On Books The Amish Midwife (Women of Lancaster County #1)

My first to read story by Mindy Starns Clark & Leslie Gould called "The Amish Midwife" in The Women of Lancaster County books. I really liked the mystery involved in this story, Alexandra knew she had been adopted but never learned the story behind it until she was grown and her adoptive parents were both deceased and she was told of a beautiful carved box with papers and 2 locks of hair inside upon her dads deathbed. The paperwork involved property in Switzerland. "Lexie" has always had

A deathbed confession... a dust carved box containing two locks of hair... a century-old letter about property in Switzerland...Nurse-midwife Lexie Jaegers encounter with all three rekindles a burning desire to meet her biological family. Propelled on a personal journey of discovery, Lexies search for the truth takes her from her home in Oregon to the heart of Pennsylvanias Amish country.There she finds Marta Bayer, a mysterious lay-midwife who may hold the key to Lexies past. But Marta isnt

3.5 starsThere was something about this book that wouldn't let me set it down. The setting wasn't anything unusual for the genre. The plot wasn't that unique. But I couldn't stop reading. For once, I wasn't able to predict the ending from the very beginning, a nice change from the vast majority of Christian fiction. My one complaint with the novel involves the main character. I couldn't figure out why she was so incredibly stubborn about finding out who her birth parents were. Multiple people

I read this for a book club I lead at work, and Im pretty sure its the first Amish inspirational novel Ive ever read. The plot was intricate and engaging; I read the last 2/3 of the book in one afternoon! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed reading about Amish customs and the inner workings of the families portrayed in this book. However, I feel that I can only give it a 3/5 rating because I was constantly dumbfounded by the narrators superficiality and inability to appreciate some of the

This book is neither about the Amish nor midwives. That is just background to support the main story of a woman searching for her identity. I can only assume the author wanted to cash-in on the current popularity of Amish romance-type novels by using the setting as the title. Lexie is a conniving woman who despite having been raised by loving parents, is desperate to find her birth mother after her father dies. Nothing wrong with that of course, but she goes about it like a storm-trooper.Even

I normally try not to spoil books in my reviews, but I simply cannot avoid doing so in sharing my thoughts about this particular novel. Go no further if you do not want the ending to being given away.My first thought upon finishing this book was that Lexie's biological family's reasons for giving her away were such bullshit! Her biological mother, Giselle, was unable to care for her and her younger sister, Ada. Her mother's sister, Klara, was willing to take Ada but not Lexie because she feared

Seemed a bit prescriptive, yet enjoyable. This was my 1st reading of this series. Faith based book to challenge our ideas. Interesting story about a "Plain" person Mennonite that's lost faith and recently lost her father. She's a nurse midwife that was adopted and needs to know her story regardless of who gets hurt or open wounds get revisited and discussed. Ends up back in PA to meet her family and try to get her story
