description: <b><i>Readers LOVE the Amish Peace Valley series:</i></b><br /><div></div><div><br /><div>&quot;No one ever believes that domestic violence can happen in their home. But even in the Amish community they have to deal with it.<b>This was an excellent story and it is well worth reading by all.</b>&quot; - Karen C Riley (Amish Truth Be Told)</div><div></div><div><br />&quot;As a woman who has endured domestic violence, I liked that she never made it okay for him to behave badly. I was glad for a happy ending.&quot; CornerMouse (Amish Truth Be Told)</div><div></div><div>&quot;Very engaging story.<b>I love Rachel&apos;s books.</b>She explores issues in life that others won&apos;t touch. And does it with class, caring and even some humor. No wonder her books go to #1! Do yourself a favor and get this one and seriously, you should read all her books. You&apos;ll love the stories.&quot; - Kathy Austin (Amish Truth Be Told)</div><br /><div></div><div><br />&quot;I love Rachel&apos;s books she pulls you into the story so much<b>you can&apos;t put the book down</b>. I love how she shares the love of Jesus in her story line and how praise is lived in her books. I would share this book with all my Christian friends.&quot; Rose (Amish Truth Be Told)</div><div></div><div><br />&quot;This was an excellent depiction of a difficult topic. It shows no religion or culture is exempt from domestic abuse, but it was<b>handled in a loving manner</b>. I read the book in one afternoon, (Should have been getting ready for company.) but wanted to see how it turned out.&quot; Jo Ann Koertner (Amish Truth Be Told)</div><div></div><br /><div><br />&quot;<b>One of the best books I have ever read</b>. This book shows that domestic violence can affect anyone from all walks of life. No one including those from different denominations are excluded.&quot; Kindle Customer (Amish Truth Be Told)</div><div></div><br /><div><br />&quot;Author<b>Rachel Stoltzfus wrote a fantastic book</b>in Amish Heart &amp; Soul. This subject is so sensitive to many people, but this author has written the novel so tactfully and I could not stop reading.&quot; Barbara Thompson (Amish Heart and Soul)</div><br /><div><br />&quot;This is hard for Lizzie and Leora but thru it all they have the entire community behind them. When you are abused from the start and it goes for generations it is hard to break. This book has opened up a subject that few want to discuss.<b>Thank you for writing about this subject.</b>&quot; - Karen C Riley (Amish Heart and Soul)</div><div></div><div><br />&quot;I enjoyed this book. It deals with something I never thought about happening in the Amish community, and so I didn&apos;t expect it in this book. I thought the subject was covered well by Rachel.<b>I definitely recommend this book and will continue reading books by this author.</b>&quot; - Lynda Knapp (Amish Heart and Soul)</div><div><br />&quot;This book is the 3rd in the series dealing with abuse - physical, verbal, and emotional. I have totally enjoyed reading all three in the Peace Valley series and<b>sure hope that there will be another!</b>I highly recommend this author and this series to everyone!&quot; - Ruth A. Hufford (Amish Love Saves All)</div><div></div><div><br />&quot;<b>Rachel writes the most wonderful romance novels, respectable and tender.</b>This book was very different than most of her books. Dealing with a subject that needs to be addressed for woman today. I have known a couple of woman in this situation that did not know what to so. This answer was handled perfectly in this book.&quot; Kindle Customer (Amish Love Saves All)</div><div></div><div><br />&quot;I read books 2 and 3 and the enjoyed very much. Seeing as it deals with reality, both physical and verbal abuse. It happens everywhere, the least expected areas. These are great books to read,<b>I could not put down. Great job!!!!!</b>&quot; Grandma E (Amish Love Saves All)</div><div></div><div><br />&quot;Book 3 of the series is<b>just as good as the others</b>. It&apos;s all about domestic abuse &amp; a community doing all they can to stop it.&quot; Lilacs &amp; Roses (Amish Love Saves All)</div></div>
