In her fiction book Sarah’s Garden, Kelly Long brings her readers into the world of the Amish of the Pennsylvania Allegheny Mountains. Sarah King has a God given talent for nurturing the soil & plants that she grows. She meets her new neighbor, Grant Williams, who has moved to the Amish community to open a veterinary practice. From the moment they meet, they are drawn to each other. Sarah knows that if she acts on her feelings, she will have to give up her home, her family, & her community.

This is the first writing I’ve read by Kelly Long. She weaves the traditional Amish life into this love story. I had a hard time putting the book down because I was so eager to find out if Sarah & Grant would be able to have a life together. This book is the first in the Patch of Heaven series. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. Sadly, Lilly’s Wedding Quilt is not scheduled for release until April, 2011. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars.
