Seeds of Hope (Harvest of Hope Book 1) Kindle Edition

They live in completely different worlds. Can love bring them together?

Miriam Troyer has had a secret crush on Mark Byler since they were teenagers. She knows they can never have a relationship: Mark is a big-city attorney—an Englischer—and Miriam loves her quiet way of life in her Amish community. But when Mark unexpectedly shows up in Paradise, Pennsylvania, Miriam realizes it’s going to get a lot harder to hide her feelings.

Even though Mark always loved visiting his grandfather’s farm as a boy, he’s convinced the Amish life is not for him. But when he suddenly finds himself out of a job and without direction, Mark heads back to the farm just in time to help with the harvest. Coming for a visit and coming to stay, however, are two very different things.

Everything changes when Mark sees that Miriam, the girl he remembers from his youth, has grown into the kind of faith-filled woman he wants in his future. Could life in this simple world be right for Mark after all? Has Miriam finally found her happily ever after? True love sprouts from seeds of hope.

Loved this book. As with Barbara Cameron's other novels, this one did not disappoint. God places people in certain places for a reason. This is evident in Mark's return to his grandfather's farm. Those around Mark need him as much as he needs them. Without giving away too much of the story line as some reviews do, I will keep it brief because I feel for this book, you need to read it for yourself to experience the journey of the characters instead of reading about their journey in my review. I'm certain you will will fall in love with them all.

I love Christian novels, especially Amish but also historical novels. This one was enjoyable. Some authors I have read don't seem to know the Amish life but this author knows what she is writing about.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming beginning to series
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017
Barbara Cameron is a consistent writer, always delivering on appealing characters, realistic conflict, an emotional tug at the heart, and spiritual gems to reflect upon. Miriam and Mark’s story in Seeds of Hope is a great beginning to the new Harvest of Hope series.

Relational tension is taken to a high level in this story of no way can this end happily romance. Mark – with his defense law practice, high society (and high maintenance) fiancé, and BMW – is entrenched in the English lifestyle. Miriam, who cares deeply for him, is committed to her faith and family. Amish fiction fans know that is extremely rare for someone to join the Amish faith, and even harder to remain there … but Mark is no stranger to the Amish. What makes this scenario plausible is that his father left the Amish faith, but allowed the adolescent Mark to spend his summers with his grandfather, who he dearly loved.

I loved how we see the contrast in both worlds, reflected in the romantic tension and also Mark’s faith that asked questions while seeking. Their struggles felt so very real, and the story made me even more aware of how, as Christians, we’re supposed to be in the world, but not of the world. John, Mark’s wise granddad, was a favorite of mine. He may have read the Gospel of John a lot because of sharing the same name, but that’s an excellent book to read over and over again.

There’s one spiritual nugget expressed close to the end that really jumped off the page and into my thoughts, and that’s Mark’s realization that he had been “so busy making a living that he hadn’t made a life.” Words of wisdom for all of us.

I thoroughly enjoyed Seeds of Hope and look forward to more stories to come. Recommended.

I was provided a copy of this book through Litfuse Publicity. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2023
I loved Mark and Miriam's character. He would have to find out what was truly important in life. Having material things and working long days as an lawyer, great condo and awesome vehicle or really or having a family and enjoying life. Miriam has loved him since she was a young girl and when he came back to his grandfather's after being told by his boss to take a long leave of absence she has hope's but doesn't know how it would ever work out between them. I got this book from the library love this series
