Lilly’s Wedding Quilt by Kelly Long

She who has secretly loved him for years and he who is devastated at losing his lifelong love to another. No one in the tight-knit Amish community would have predicted the unlikely marital union of the dashing, outgoing horseman to the demure schoolteacher.

Lilly’s Wedding Quilt tells the lovely story of how a young man and woman, both headstrong yet both devoted to the Amish life and faith, are unexpectedly brought together by the combination of unforeseen events and the resulting expectations of their culture. Pure coincidence or divine intervention? Jacob and Lilly travel a rocky road past grieving and reconciliation of the past as they come to understand how God’s plan for their lives is so much more than they could have imagined.

Kelly Long's story-telling breathes life into her tale by taking the reader into the Amish culture...their manner of speaking, their perception of their world vs that of the “Englisher”, and their devotion to faith, family, and the Amish way.  One does not just read Ms Long's book, but rather experiences the events as they unfold.  An uplifting and enjoyable read!
