The Mending by Susan Lanz Simpson

Here is the review of The Mending by Susan Lanz  Simpson:

"The mending " is an  Amish fiction  book.  It is about the challenges  Melinda  faces with being Amish and also having crohn's  disease.   She  is the only  daughter in her family.   She has  brothers.    She   goes to help her  aunt in the beginning of the book and ends up in the hospital  with  her crohn's  disease flaring up. She  had a hard time overcoming the  challenges of   gaining weight and  getting beyond this flare up.    An English doctor there  in the hospital takes a liking to her    and  continues to pursue  her  once  she is home. She  does not  want any connection with him   due to her   desire to  remain with  the Amish  way of life.  She  wants to marry and  have children but is torn with  the  feelings that her   health issues could be  a  financial and emotional   burden on   her  future  husband.   She  is  pursued by  Tim  who accepts her health condition and loves her dearly.    Will she be able to accept his love and care for her or not?  Tim  also   works for a furniture company   and  does  wonderful work with   wood. This   book  is a  wonderful   story about the   Amish  way of life. It   will pull the reader away  from the  cares of     busy  life  in  our non   Amish world.   This   book " The Mending" was given to me by  netgalley   to read and review .  I appreciate  this opportunity to read this  wonderful book.
