Narration During Books Kate's Song (Apple Lake Amish #1)
Kate Weaver was raised in an Amish home and has always been expected to choose baptism and strict observance of the Ordnung. But Kate is blessed with a beautiful singing voice, and when another path leads her to the academy for vocal training, she struggles to understand God's will for her life. She returns to Apple Lake, haunted by a violent encounter with a fellow student, and finds herself drawn to the peace and devotion of her Amish home. But can she give up her dreams? Or will her calling forever separate her from the people and the way of life she holds so dear? Nathaniel King has never wavered in his commitment to the community and the Old Order Amish Church into which he is baptized. He has been in love with Kate for as long as he can remember, and he is devastated when she leaves Apple Lake to attend the academy. When Kate returns, will she make his most profound hopes a reality--or will she break his heart all over again?

What a great read! A lot of research for authenticity went into this book. The dialogue is charmingly Amish and the relationship between the characters amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed every word!OK, for the record I'm the author's husband, and my wife has turned me into a romantic over the years. Bias aside, I really enjoyed Kate's Song. What a great story! It flows from start to finish and the characters are outstanding. The Amish setting adds rich context to the story. I found myself very emotional as I read three particular parts of the book. (I won't ruin anything with more information.) I was inspired and uplifted. Way to go Jennifer!
Another Freebie :)This was a sweet read that at times had a bit too much drama for me. I like the unique plot points - Kate has yet to be baptized and has to choose between her music career or her Amish life in Apple Lake.Some aspects of the plot were a bit predictable, and I didn't follow some of the characters actions and motivations. The big conflict came about from a "big misunderstanding." If the male lead, Nathaniel, would have simply asked Kate to explain her actions, there wouldn't have
Kates Song is an Amish romance. I confess, Im not a romance reader, so I wasnt aware this has become a popular subgenre. Well, I can see why. Its clean, gentle, and heartwarming. Sort of like Amish people.Ive always been fascinated by the Amish. I suppose I envy them-their peaceful existence, their devotion. In the clamor of real life, it was nice to pick up this book and go somewhere quiet.Thats not to say the book has no tension or conflict. Its there. But its more along the lines of will they
One of my sons knows the woman who wrote this--she lives in Davis County. It is well written, but it had one too many misunderstandings for my taste as it drew to the inevitable conclusion. I can't stand villains that won't die, plot holes, overly emotional heroines and too many obstacles before the happy ending.
There were too many unrealistic responses by characters in this book 1. The parents lack of worry/outrage/questions at their daughters physical and emotional condition when she unexpectedly arrives home before completing her much fought for opportunity to attend school and study music among the English, 2. The uncharacteristic meanness and hatefulness/pettiness of the older brother and his wife, and 3. The young man who loves her has the patience and determination to wait for her, but not the
The story of an Amish girl who longs to use the musical gift God has given her yet doesn't want to forsake her Amish upbringing and family is compelling, yet there were many aspects of this novel that were frustrating for me. For the most part, this book was a light, easy read with a storyline that made it difficult to put down in places, but I struggled to relate to the actions of some of the characters. I don't wan to spoil too much, but the main conflict revolves around a big misunderstanding
