by Jerry Eicher (Author)
When Hearts Break is a powerful and beautiful work from the hand of Jerry Eicher. With this book, he moves Amish fiction from delightful romances into the realm of realism and classic storytelling. Jerry gives us full-blooded characters in their struggles and complexities, the things they overcome by the grace of God and the things that bring them to their knees in humility and defeat. By doing this, he makes his entire novel shine. Five stars. Highly recommended.-Murray Pura, The Face of Heaven, Ashton Park, The White Birds of Morning, Gettysburg
When Hearts Break by Jerry Eicher gripped me from the first paragraph. Two women, the man they both loved, jealousy, heartbreak, a young woman's shame, a grown woman's forgiveness. A dark and haunting tale that stepped into sunlight and made me cry. This is a story I will not forget.-Lucinda J Kinsinger, author, Anything But Simple: My Life as a Mennonite
