Is It Time for This Widower to Give Love One More Chance?
After the devastating loss of his second wife, Seth Hostetler believes a lasting love is beyond all hope. A year has passed, and his mamm and sister are determined to see him happily married once again. But how can he open his heart to another woman when their relationship could end in tragedy?
On an outing with his family, Seth comes across an Amish potter hard at work and jumps at the chance to take a seat at the wheel. He takes quickly to this creative outlet, pouring his long-buried emotions into each piece he shapes. Unfortunately, the fancy nature of his art draws the disapproval of his district's leadership.
His work puts him in the path of Leah, an Englisch woman employed by the Amish to sell their wares to tourists. Despite her aloofness, something about her speaks to Seth's wounded soul. But what is he to do when the things he wants most threaten to pull him away from the life he's committed to live?
A compelling novel of second chances and the power of God to redeem hearts and dreams, set in the inviting Amish community of Lancaster County.

Everything about this story was believable and I could almost expect to go to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and meet Seth Hostetler and the other characters from this book. I liked hearing the story first hand from Seth’ s point of view—he was the central figure and that really helped to define him and see the side of him that he didn’t want to admit to most people.
I loved that he wanted to try his hand at pottery! As I have recently taken a beginner pottery class so I can appreciate the detail given to this aspect and also I’m a little jealous of his gifted natural talent!
I’ll be looking forward to another story to unfold from Virginia Smith!

The Amish Widower by Virginia Smith is probably the best Amish story I’ve read that wasn’t a suspense novel or thriller.
I think Ms. Smith did a wonderful job of portraying the grief, guilt, and anger that can take over the whole being of a person. I enjoyed reading this book.
