Conversations With Kav – Amish Fiction, Yay or Nay? + Giveaway

Did you know that this is Amish in April month? It’s an annual booktube challenge that encourages readers to explore the many facets of Amish fiction. From prim and proper sweet romances to edgier general market thrillers, there’s something for everyone. You’ll notice more Amish fiction on the blog this month as I celebrate the genre with some well-loved re-reads as well as new-to-me stories.

I used to read a lot more Amish Fiction though my consumption has unintentionally tapered off over the last few years. I’ve been trying to figure out why and this is what I’ve come up with so far:

  • Repetitive plot lines, especially in the romance category. Which is strange, because the same could be said of contemporary romance or historical romance. Maybe it’s because Amish fiction is limited somewhat because of the nature of the culture and lifestyle?
  • There seems to be fewer Amish novels being released by Christian publishers so choices are limited and/or they don’t seem to get a huge online presence (at least not in my sphere of the internet) so I’m missing them.
  • I’ve noticed more general market publishers picking up Amish fiction BUT it feels like they don’t give the same research and care with authenticity and that really irks me. I’ve picked up many an Amish paperback from the library only to be disappointed with all the major errors I come across. It’s like the authors are just playing dress up with regular contemporary heroes and heroines. Slap on an apron or suspenders and call them Amish. Seriously, I read an Amish romance where wedding plans were being made and the bride to be was deciding on bridesmaids dresses, flower arrangements, decorating the chapel (she was Old Order Amish!) etc. Oh, and getting the bridal party’s nails done professionally! Whhhhhaaaaattttt???? I was so disillusioned and I think those ‘surface’ Amish books put me off the genre.

The kind of Amish Fiction I like to read has:

  • Humour. I think of Suzanne Woods Fisher’s Stoney Ridge series and all the spinoffs! Some of those characters are a hoot and the situations her younger characters get into are so much fun!
  • Mystery. I really love a mix of Amish and Mystery especially cozy mysteries.And the Amish adjacent ones are really intriguing. That’s where the main characters aren’t Amish but the story is set in an Amish community and there are lots of Amish secondary characters. Amanda Flowers, Isabelle Alan, Emma Miller and Laura Bradford have written some great series.
  • History. There aren’t many historical Amish novels out there but I have been intrigued by the ones I have read. Jan Drexler has written two fantastic historical series.
  • Dysfunction. Complicated family dynamics and the way issues are dealt with (or not dealt with) in a community. Tons of storytelling fodder there! Instead of the cliche ‘perfect’ Amish family all the time. Shelley Shepard Gray is an author who excels at this kind of story.

And now I have questions!

  • Are you a fan of Amish fiction?
  • Why or why not?
  • If your interest has waned, why?
  • What kind of themes do you like to see in your Amish Fiction?
  • Favourite authors of Amish Fiction?

Important Bonus Question:

Do you have any recommendations for independently published Amish fiction authors? Please and thank you!

  1. I do enjoy Amish fiction, and Suzanne Woods Fisher is hands-down my favorite author in this genre. The Lord often ministers to me through her books, and Hank Lapp is wonderful.

    Okay, the Amish getting their nails done would be really funny if it wasn’t truly in a book (like as just an example of not fitting a genre).

  2. Patricia Johns writes a lot of amish fiction in fact I’m reading one of her books from last year. Shelley Shepard Gray is my favorite when it comes to amish fiction. She does write other themed books too.

  3. Yes, I love Amish fiction!  When a story is done right and research makes the book accurate to the genre, I love that it’s a reminder of the things really important in life. 

    Like you my interest has seemed to wane a bit, but I’m on a come back with more Amish suspense stories coming to the market. 

    I love all the different themes and love it when an author shakes it up a bit by not being all one theme.  To me, it all gets back to where the author does the research in order to make the story accurate.  Having visited many Amish areas, I’m personally aware of some of it and my own research has given me even more of an insight into their lives and beliefs.

    Wanda Brunstetter will probably always be one of my favorite Amish authors because she is the one the introduced me to the genre years ago with the Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club series.  I’ve also love many of the authors in the Amish suspense genre like Mary Alford and Susan Furlong.

    Two independent author I can recommend are Mindy Steele and Jennifer Spredemann.

    Thank you so much for the chance.

    Have a wonderful Sunday and a blessed upcoming week!  Wish I could send you some of our beautiful sunny, warm spring time weather.  We now have 5 peonies blooms out of the hundred or so buds, the lilacs are going crazy and the first iris has flowered out.  Weather is nice for front porch sitting – not too cold or too hot.

    1. I agree, getting the facts right is so important for the Amish genre. I think authors need to take as much care with their research as historical fiction authors do!

      Eeeepp! I should have mentioned Amish suspense, I love that combination too. Love Inspired Suspense seems to have cornered that market. Have you read any of Marty Perry’s Amish adjacent suspense books? They aren’t Christian fiction, but they are clean reads and have a lovely Gothic flare too.

      I love that you have an actual connection with the Amish community through your travels. That’s something I’ve dreamed of doing but haven’t managed to yet. Thanks for the indie author recommends. My library gets Mindy Steele’s books in, which is interesting — side note, my library system orders nearly every Amish book out there even though their Christian Fiction collection is quite sparse in comparison. Clearly the Amish fiction genre isn’t just for CF readers. It seems to hold a wide appeal.

      We actually got sun this morning and I could walk to church with a spring jacket instead of my winter coat. More spring temps all week long except it’s going to rain every day this week! Oh well, what do they say? Spring showers bring May flowers. I’m on board with that! Good luck, Kay!

  4. Am I a fan of Amish fiction? I’m a fan of any book that can pull me into the story to the point I start living it and has me feeling all the emotions. Suzanne Woods Fisher is my go-to favorite Amish author because of this. Her stories are about Amish people who often have to make the same choices any of us struggle with in life and how they interact with others outside their community. Her last 2 books with Dok Stolfzfus have been fantastic. I’m happy to report her next book is on the horizon, coming in October, A Plain Confession with Darcy Dlaney, from the last book, as a traveling nurse.

    Laurel Blount is another favorite author. Her Johns Mill series of 4 books is some of the best fiction out there, Amish or not.

    I have read some Laura Bradford cozy mysteries and I like her writing. I will have to look up some of her Amish fiction.

    It’s interesting to me that all three of these authors write Amish fiction but can also write other non-Amish books too. That’s the skill level I’m talking about and drawn to. A good author is a good author in any genre. Having said all that, the flipside side of Amish fiction is I’ve tried some authors who I just couldn’t connect with, not because the Amish aren’t an interesting topic, but more because of the authors writing skills. Is it me, or are there an unusually high number of authors in this genre who need to develop their writing skills?

    I’m always willing to try a new author if it’s a really good book so I’m open to suggestions. I’m going to put Laura Bradford, Amanda Flowers, Jan Drexler and Patricia Johns on my list, any particular titles?

    Thanks Kav, tracey14567 atgmail.com

    1. I like that you are an open-minded reader, willing to delve into a good story no matter the genre. I totally agree with you about Suzanne Woods Fisher. I adore her storytelling style, especially in her Amish books. Such open and honest emotions.And eeeeppppp, you’ve delivered an exclusive insider’s scoop report on her next Amish novel coming out in the fall. Eeeeeppppp!!! This is why I pay you the big bucks. Bwahahahahaha!

      Yes, that Laurel Blount series was so gripping. Very unique to the genre and I love how she featured aspects of grief and trauma through the eyes of each sibling.

      Hmmm, I didn’t know that Laura Bradford did any non-Amish cozy mysteries. I just checked her website – I have some catching up to do!!!!

      “A good author is a good author any genre” love that and a good author is good because she (or he) does research! And yes, I think you might be right about more authors in this genre needing to improve their writing skills. It seems like they think it will be easy to write a quaint little story with horses and buggies but don’t add any depth or significant research to make the story worth telling!

      Recommended starting point for the authors you mentioned:

      Laura Bradford : she has a nine book Amish Mystery series. book one is Hearse and Buggy (they all have pun-y titles), The heroine is English, on a visit to her aunt’s inn in Amish country. The detective is former Amish back in his hometown so investigating a murder is problematic so the heroine acts as his go-between. Sparks ensue. 🙂

      Amanda Flower – Her bestselling Amish Candy Shop series is quirky and fun. This is another Amish adjacent mystery but with lots of Amish secondary characters and the whole community, a mix of Amish and English is so much fun! Starts with ‘Assaulted Caramel’. There are fourteen books and still going strong as well as a spin off series set in the same time only with an Amish heroine (senior lady) – The Amish Matchmaker series

      If you’re looking for a more ‘serious’ kind of mystery series Appleseed Creek Mystery series is awesome! Starting with A Plain Death – again English heroine but lots of Amish secondary characters.

      Jan Drexler has two historical Amish series published by Revell (or Bethany House, not sure which). The first series, Journey to Pleasant Prairie is really interesting as it looks at the early communities in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and the discord between conservative and more liberal ideas. The first book is Hannah’s Choice and – gasp – there’s a bit of a love triangle.

      Patricia Johns – I need to read more of her current works but one memorable story that I think I might have to reread is Loving Lovina. The heroine is in a car accident and loses her memory so she doesn’t remember her Amish family…or fiancé. The thing is, (not a spoiler ’cause it’s in the synopsis) she fled the Amish community after a scandal caused by her father and was living English for a year. Her family takes her home to care for her and everyone is desperately hoping she’ll connect with her faith again before she regains her memory. So good!

      Oops, this is a long comment, wonder if it will post. Good luck, Tracey!

  6. My favorite Amish authors are Beverly Lewis, Suzanne Woods Fisher, Cindy Woodsmall, Shelley Shepard Gray, & Sarah Price. Sarah lived with the Amish on & off so you can count on her books for authenticity. She has a wonderful Amish series that are Jane Austen retellings. Sarah put my endorsement on the back covers of each of these books! My 15 mins of fame & was I ever nervous when I sent them to the publisher!! hahaha I also enjoy Mary Alford’s Amish suspense.

    However, I tend not to read many anymore except for suspense. I got burned out on them bc I used to read any & all I could get my hands on. An author friend of mine wrote an Amish book with tons of characters . . . every Sadie, Anna, Katie, Caleb, Eli, & Levi, was part of the plot & I couldn’t keep the characters straight. Then to top it off the author gave all of these characters nicknames. Oh help! Unfair to other good Amish authors, I know, but that was the last one I read for many years. Or I should say stumbled through, then gave up & DNF.

      1. Beverly Lewis is classic! She has such a distinctive oral storyteller writing style that fits this genre perfectly. I read a few of Sarah Price’s fairy tale retellings Amish style. Those were fun. How neat that you were an official endorser! Yikes, that multi-named character laden story sounds like quite the challenge. It would be a nightmare as an audio book! Yes to Shelley Shepard Gray’s suspense and, well, most anything she writes. There was just one kind of general market series that I didn’t jive with. Good luck, Diane. Sadly our sun has been chased away by the rain, but, hey, at least it isn’t snow!

Oh wow, what a magnificent introduction to the genre through the John Mills series. Such an emotionally charged series! Good luck, Sandy!

  10. Kav, I’ve read the occasional Amish fiction over the years but wouldn’t call myself a fan. My memory is fuzzy on the details of why I’m not really drawn to them. There are so many other books I want to read (and don’t have time for all of those!) so I just don’t add Amish fiction to my list as a rule. Sorry, but I’m not help on the question of indie authors of Amish fiction. Good luck getting some suggestions from others here!

  12. Probably nay. I’ve read a bit of Amish fiction, but not for a long time, and it never really grabbed my interest. For one, I prefer historicals, and as you said, there aren’t many Amish historicals; for two, it feels a bit weird when we actually have a lot of Amish and Mennonite in our area. I frequent a Mennonite grocery store, and my family has doings with Amish greenhouses and co-ops. Even one of my sisters-in-law grew up in a Plain Folk-adjacent church, so Amish fiction feels a little weird. Not wrong, by any means (unless it’s the book Amish Vampires in Space – that book sounds all kinds of wrong). But a little weird.

  14. Ive gotten a lot pickier with my Amish reading. I don’t like how they seem to be so perfect and surface level. I have gravitated to more indie Amish as they explore it more realistically. I have two recommendations for independent published author books.

    Elizabeth Byler Younts Promise Of Sunrise trilogy. I don’t see a lot of new releases for her anymore so idk if she writes anymore sadly.

    And Temperance Johnson ‘s Amish River series.

    She published her first Amish book last year(Lullaby by the River) and she is working on book 2 to release for next year(River of Tears)

    Hope these recs help you out this month and that you enjoy them as much as I did!!

    1. Also reading comments I agree many don’t seem to research properly. In particular Temperance lives in an Amish community and that makes her story a lot more realistic because she has experience with them. Elizabeth’s books are historical and I don’t know much about her but I do enjoy her books

  19. Amish Fiction isn’t my favorite genre but I do read quite a bit of it. I started reading Amish fiction a few years ago when a former library patron asked my advice about submitting her story for publication. The story I read wasn’t Amish but I thought she had talent, and encouraged her to pursue her dream. Since that time, Mindy Steele has enjoyed tremendous success writing Amish fiction. She is a published author through Barbour Publishing and also as an Indie publisher, and her newest book, A Heart on Consignment, is currently #3 on Amazon New Releases in Amish & Mennonite Fiction, after spending 2 weeks as the #! New Release. I am so proud of Mindy!

    I also enjoy books by Leslie Gould, Patricia Johns, and Wanda E. Brunstetter, along with the Amish mystery books by Mary Alford and Dana Lynn.

  21. When Christian fiction started becoming more available at my library, I would read and learn more about a variety of authors. Amish stories were a nice break to learn more regarding a back-to-basics conservative lifestyle. I don’t read as many now, in proportion, as some have become more repetitive due to stronger lifestyle constraints or limited story settings.

    • Are you a fan of Amish fiction? – I was years ago with Beverly Lewis, Cindy Woodsmall, etc. I do crater the lifestyle simplicity every once in a while.
    • Why or why not? — There were many trees ones early in my initial Kindle days around 2012 or so. It seems as though there are some good authors and some that perhaps should not be publishing due to many errors, grammatical issues, etc. I also got a couple freebies or drastic sales many years ago that absolutely shocked me. They were smut reads. I didn’t even know it was a thing! I deleted them off my account.
    • If your interest has waned, why? — So much repetition and I need variety. Some clearly do little to no research on actual Amish practices and beliefs. Some stories are very simplistic and lack any depth or entertainment value.
    • What kind of themes do you like to see in your Amish Fiction? – I’d like more structure and layers like the more popular Amish authors do.
    • Favourite authors of Amish Fiction? — Beverly Lewis, Cindy Woodsmall, Suzanne Woods Fisher, Tricia Goyer, Mary Alford

    Bonus: Do you have any recommendations for independently published Amish fiction authors? Please and thank you! — Anything indie that I have read (so far) was poor quality – grammar, structure, etc. At least from what I can remember. There are many freebies on my Kindle that I’m just going to delete. If there is anything good out there, I’d be curious to know!

    3. I think that’s what drew me to Amish fiction – the yearning for a simpler more self-sufficient life.

      Proof that free kindle deals are a great way to introduce readers to new authors and genres. And yes, unforutantely Amish spice seems to be a thing which is why it’s so hard to just dive into the unknown, even though you think you’d be safe with an Amish story!

      Your reasons for not being as interested in Amish fiction are the same as mine. I’m always excited when I find books that break out of that Amish cookie cutter mold. Sometimes it’s through humour, or tough subjects or dysfunctional families or even Dystopian!

      I need to look into Mary Alford’s suspense books. I might have read one or two in the LIS line but I haven’t kept up. Everybody seems to mention her. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Tammy. Good luck!

I’ve never been a fan of Amish fiction–usually there’s about 6 different story lines/plots repeated over and over, and in some of the ones I have read, there are incorrect facts (like the author confuses Amish vs. Mennonite). Now, I did recently read Finding Margo by Jen Turano in which the MFC is not Amish but ends up in Amish country. That was really good and funny. In general, though, Amish fiction is not a preferred genre of mine. 😀

  26. I used to read a lot of Amish novels when I first discovered Christian Fiction, but I don’t anymore.  Maybe because that was because CF was more limited back then, but  I became weary of the legalism and shunning.  I find their system of choosing  leaders by a piece of paper in a hymnal a little too random.  Their Rumspringa is an odd custom to let your teens run wild with the HOPE that they return to join the Amish faith.  Sure, let your teens run around in the modern world for a while???  I also question that they believe that Christ alone is their savior.  I never recall hearing about Christ in an Amish novel.

    As for indies, I don’t have any ideas but Reading is My Superpower is spotlighting Mary Alford’s LIS title, Unsolved Amish Abduction.  I love Mary Alford’s contemporary suspense!

    1. Sounds like I need to jump on the Mary Alford’s bandwagon. I go into an Amish novel looking at it as a different culture as well as faith expression so that helps soften some of those harder issues. But, yes, it’s hard to comprehend some of their traditions and I like reading novels that explore those tougher topics. Good luck, Perrianne.

  30. I decided to give Amish in April a go. While looking through a few Amish lists, I spotted a book by Gayle Roper. (I had read a book by her last month, non Amish-Home by the Sea, and enjoyed her writing so much.) I picked up His Plain Truth, and it was so good. It surprised me in the best way, so I’m recommending it to you Kav and Best Readers. I may add in a couple more Amish books this month but tomorrow I’m diving into More Than Friends by Denise Hunter 🙂

The only Gayle Roper books on the Canadian audible site are two about grief and widowhood. She seems to have done a lot of Guidepost multiple author series books and most of them don’t tend to be available in audio.
