“It is rare for me to read an Amish fiction book with a single disabled child in it, so I was surprised to see a classroom for disabled students. I wasn't sure how it was going to go and I was concerned that it would be a little too different for me to enjoy or feel like Amish fiction should be. I was wrong, totally wrong. I loved this book. In fact, I devoured it. The pages wouldn't turn fast enough for me to read more about Nathan and Josiah. I fell in love with Nathan the first scene I read with him, as odd as it sounds. He was this child who needed someone to understand him and love him the way he was. It was such a joy to see his character grow, mature, and become the sweet boy I knew he could be.
The characters were real, showed raw emotion, and received my complete empathy from the start. Both Josiah and Ada had to deal with so much in their short life spans, and you couldn't help but feel sorry for them. But they don't want your sympathy, or anyone else's for that matter. They are the kind of character that I love to read about. They put on a strong front, don't want some one to help them (well they won't admit to it anyway), and give you glimpses every now and then of what they are truly feeling - terrified and flustered! Rachel J Good does a fantastic job of giving you little pieces of their background at a time, making you want more.
I have to commend on Rachel J Good on the research she must have done for writing this book. Multiple forms of disabilities are represented in this book, and Rachel did a fantastic job in representing them all. It wasn't just the way the disabled characters needed to act, it was the way the caregivers needed to act around them and the way other non disabled people acted around them. Not only is Rachel researching the Amish culture and disabled children, but she figured out how to write about them working together. It is powerful, moving, and brilliant.
If ever there was an Amish fiction book for you to read, This. Is. It. No joke. I hope that there are more books like this in the future from Ms. Good. If there is, I will be first in line to get them! I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a favorable review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed The Amish Teacher's Gift! I was excited to use this touching story as part of my Book Nerd 2018 challenge (for a book with a female protagonist). It was a great read about life, love and blended families under interesting circumstances. If you're looking for an inspirational read then make sure you pre-order this book today!”
