What the Heart Sees

What the Heart Sees by Kathleen Fuller is a compilation of three separate short stories. These include A Miracle for Miriam, A Place of His Own, and What the Heart Sees. I enjoyed reading about these different Amish people and looking at the difficulties they face.

A Miracle for Miriam from An Amish Christmas focuses on Miriam and the difficulties she faced when she was younger which causes her to have little self confidence. Seth, on the other hand, moved away from his Amish upbringing and lived among the “Englisch” people. He returns home and a romance ensues between him and Miriam.

A Place of His Own from An Amish Gathering follows Josiah and his leaving the Amish community of Paradise because of the death of his mother earlier in life. When Josiah was wisked away by his father, he didn’t even have the opportunity to say goodbye to his best friend Mandy. When Josiah returns Mandy and Josiah begin to rekindle their friendship.  

What the Heart Sees from An Amish Love looks at the life of Ellie Chupp and the difficulties she faces in her life after becoming blind. Christopher Miller, who left the Amish community, returns and begins to find forgiveness for his past.

I really enjoyed this book, and liked the format of having three different short stories with different characters who were all facing difficulties in their lives. I will definitely read more books by Kathleen Fuller in the future!
