Book Description:
In the picturesque Amish community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, life’s detours may prove the path to true happiness . . .
After a buggy accident when she was a teenager, Anna Flaud was told she would never walk again. Unwilling to be an object of pity, she put aside her dreams of marriage and found purpose as an assistant at a Community Care Center. Now she has a chance to fulfill her dearest wish—motherhood—and adopt three siblings with special needs. Yet the opportunity comes with a condition Anna isn’t sure she can meet: finding a husband.
Levi King began working at the center as penance after a careless mistake led to tragedy. Though he’s dealing with his own heartbreak, he’s drawn to Anna, cheering her on as she strives to regain her mobility. Her quiet determination, her generous heart—these are qualities to cherish in a wife. Still, Anna’s plans give him pause. Given his past, Levi hardly trusts himself to care for one child, let alone three. Yet together, perhaps they could forge a family made sturdier by all they’ve overcome . . .

Vikki’s Musings
Thanks go to the publisher and Net-Galley for the complimentary copy of His Accidental Amish Family by Rachel J. Good. I agreed to read and review this emotionally charged novel prior to publication. My opinions are my own, and no one has influenced them.
His Accidental Amish Family is a lovely Amish fiction novel with endearing characters and a heartfelt plot. Ms. Good brings her amazing understanding of Amish life to this highly enjoyable tale. She has clearly done her research regarding foster care too. The pacing of this book pulled me in from the start and kept my attention until the end.
Anna Flaud is our heroine, and I fell in love with her from the start. I could feel her pain and guilt over the accident that left her unable to walk. Her willingness to open her home to foster children is amazing since she spends her time in a wheelchair. Her determination to walk is admirable, and her struggle touched me. When she starts to have feelings for the hero, she is cautious after what happened with her ex-fiancée.
Levi King is the Amish hero, and he’s the individual who helps Anna learn to walk again. How he deals with Anna’s impatience during the process is amazing, but he senses guilt behind what drives her, and he understands that since he has guilt over his brother’s disabilities. He shows more emotion than is typical in an Amish man, and it made it much easier to become vested in his character.
The romance doesn’t start at the beginning of the novel since Anna is pushing herself to walk for Gabe, the man who was driving the buggy when the accident happened, but she is fascinated by Levi even before she finds Gabe has fallen in love with another. Through a misunderstanding, Levi believes she’s married and has a baby. Once that is cleared up, the romance grows in a lovely way, and I wanted them to find their happy ending.
If you enjoy Amish romances with character you will love and a plot so poignant it will touch your heart, then you will love His Accidental Amish Family as much as I did. The storyline involving foster children is heart wrenching and made me cry on more than one occasion. I highly recommend this novel if you are looking for a book with more substance. Happy reading!
