I love the Amish books. We have an Amish settlement about 45 minutes away and I love going there. It's a great place to purchase the books too. Wanda Brunstetter and several of the others publish a lot in series. Make sure you start with the beginning of the series.
Just today I finished my first Elm Creek book and I have to admit, it will be my last. I found it trite and repetitive. By the time I finished it I found myself thinking that if I heard the name of those quilters one more time I'd get physically ill. The basic story line was okay but reading that name over and over and over again was horrible. It was the Aloha Quilt and I did enjoy reading about the history behind Hawaiian quilts.
