New Amish Release Coming October 1st!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

I am so excited to have been chosen as a recipient for an ARC of the Amish Ballerina by Richelle Brunstetter and Wanda E. Brunstetter by Barbour Publishing!

I was thrilled to find this novel in my mailbox and was not disappointed.

It tells the story about an eighteen-year-old Amish woman named Arie who has secretly been practicing ballet against the wishes of her parents. It started out with her friend Lorrina teaching her privately, but eventually this advanced to professional ballet classes. Arie kept this information to herself, knowing that her family’s reaction would not be a positive one if they were to discover the truth.

Eventually Arie’s secret leads to conflict with her boyfriend and soon her passion seems to be leading her away from her family.

Wanda E Brunstetter is among my top favorite authors of Amish literature. So I was so happy to receive an ARC of this book. Her writing and masterful storytelling never disappoint me.

I love learning about the Amish religion and culture, and I also love a clean romance! This book has both.

I am super grateful to Barbour Publishing for selecting me to participate in the Review Crew for this novel!

Thank you to Wanda E and Richelle Brunstetter for creating such a beautiful novel.

I’m giving this book five stars.

The Amish Ballerina will be released October 1st, 2025.
