Sometimes Dreams Come Together
One Piece at a Time
Joy Miller wanted nothing more than to be a wife and mother—especially now that her relationship with Matthew Slagel, the bishop's son, was deepening. But when a television crew rolls into Pinecraft, Florida, to film a new show about the Amish, tension threatens to rip apart their relationship...and the entire Amish community.
Joy is initially hired to sew costumes for the show, but she soon finds herself becoming increasingly involved in the production—a fact that upsets Matthew and his father. Yet the more Joy befriends the Englischer production crew, the more she senses God working in their lives through her. Can she turn her back on this opportunity to share God's love? Will she and Matthew somehow be able to stitch together their dreams for the future?
Experience love, heartbreak, and hope in this sweet story of two worlds uniting in unexpected ways.

My thoughts (LVH): SEWN WITH JOY is the third book in this series. Filled with yummy recipes, Amish quotes, and sewing tips, it is so much more than a simple story. The faith message is also strong and powerful.
Joy is sweet, peaceful, and appropriately named. Matthew is judgmental, angry, and he made me furious. Why would Joy want to marry a man like that? A man whose father is like that? I dated a guy like Matthew for awhile, but I wasn't good enough for their oh-so-perfect Southern Baptist family. Never mind that they made up and believed lies. I was so hoping Matthew wasn't the hero and that Joy would find a man like the one I married.
Rowan I loved. He made some mistakes and was cautious but he was so sweet. I also loved Will and Abraham for speaking truth in someone's life.
The book was slow and easily put down, which was just what I needed as I was under a tight deadline at my job and had very little time to read. The ending and the faith message was outstanding.
I got a copy free. All opinions are my own.
