Anna's Return: Pleasant Valley Book Three

Marta Perry returns with a brand-new inspirational Pleasant Valley novel.

After spending three years in the English world, Anna Beiler returns to the Pleasant Valley Amish with a baby girl, which will surely cause a stir since Anna is unmarried. What they don't know is that the baby is adopted, and Anna desperately needs to protect it from its violent father...

Anna finds it reassuring to reconnect with family and old friends. But she hasn't fully faced the consequences of her irresponsible youth. And now she may be endangering her family. If she wants to stay, she must seek forgiveness from the community whose blessing she took for granted, and experience the true change of heart required to make a new beginning.

Book Three in Pleasant Valley Series

By Susan K. Edwards "SusieKE" - June 20, 2010

If you enjoyed the previous books Pleasant Valley Book Series Books then you are sure to enjoy this one too. I love the fact that Ms. Perry always weaves in her previous characters from her earlier books ... keeps us up to date with old friends .... and this time she brought back Anna. Anna, who broke her sister, Leah's heart when she left her Amish family ... then she comes back as all things an unwed mother of a little girl! Leave it to Anna ... it deals with some of the issues that Anna experience previously which I truly enjoyed ... and I loved how she matured and we watched her grow. How she learned that Samuel was there for her ... and the heartbreak of Myra ... the compassion of family and all of a sudden she realized that they didn't make her feel smothered but comforted!

The other reviews go into depth over the storyline so I won't go there ... but just to say ... this is definitely another book worth reading ... and I already can't wait for #4!

She conceals from everyone even her loved ones that the baby is not hers; she took the infant after her friend Janni, the child's mother died, to keep the little girl safe from her abusive father Pete. Anna prays that hiding amongst the Plain folks will keep the baby safe., but fears what she might bring upon her family as she moves in with her brother Joseph and his wife Myra and is welcomed by her father, her sister Leah (see Leah's Choice) and her brother-in-law and his family. Anna also finds herself attracted Joseph's machine shop partner, Samuel Fisher, who seemed like slow learner to her as a child but now... read more
