I was completely taken with this man. His mouth both in how it moved and what he said to me had me enthralled.When I started reading this book, I thought it would end up in the endless pile of DNF's that I've been accumulating lately. But I was desperate because nothing was sticking and I was getting distracted, and seriously what the hell is going on with me.So at 1 AM on Sunday morning I started this little gem and I couldn't stop reading. To be quite honest I was afraid the book would be prea [...]
I absolutely loved this book. It is long and pretty detailed when describing daily chores, clothing, houses, etc, but I found it fascinating. Plus the writing is great! The book is from Kate's POV but because it is so well written I always felt like I had good insight to Nathan too. I liked watching Kate learn the Amish ways and realize that was the life for her. I adored Nathan- what a sweet man. He suffered great losses, but was still kind and so tender toward Kate. This is one book where ever [...]
What did I think?? I have been following this author forever and was chomping at the bit for the story to publish.I loved the story so much I wanted to hug everyone around me!And yes, this is a dreaded P2P, but you know whatI know this story. I could practically recite it to you word for word, that's how much I loved it and have read it many times. I never get bored with it. Really just a good story and that's what we all want, a good story where we are engaged, entertained, feel and just *sigh* [...]
3.75 stars!Lots of very sweet romance between Kate and Nathan. Nathan was a class A leading man for sure. Wow, it is so good to get a break from the manwhores!! :)While I did enjoy the relationship between the MCs, some of the Amish-related aspects of the book didn't work for me personally. I can see the appeal of the Amish life to Kate though: the simplicity, the safety of family and the love of Nathan. Those things would be very compelling for a young woman who has had a life with very little [...]
This was a book I was very skeptical to read but I am so glad I took the chance. First it is NA, which is usually a genre I don't go for. It is also from the heroine pov only which again is not a favorite either but the way the story was told was very enjoyable, sweet, fascinating, and also very sensual. The story is about a young woman named Katherine or Kate Hill. She is on the run from an abusive ex and finds sanctuary with an Amish family name Berger. They take her in and she has to learn to [...]
Overall rating: 4.5 stars!Triggers:Cheating: (view spoiler)[ No(hide spoiler)]Love triangle: (view spoiler)[ No(hide spoiler)]Sex with om/ow: (view spoiler)[ No(hide spoiler)]Intimate pasts: (view spoiler)[ Nathan (hero): is a complete virgin. Meaning NO action at ALL with any other women. Nothing - no touching, no kissing, nothing.

Very sweet story. Kate runs away from her abusive boyfriend, Sean. She takes a bus from Northern Calif. to Illinois (to stay with her sister). She ends up in rural Iowa. She stays with an Amish family while hiding out from her violent ex. Kate immediately takes to the (much) slower pace lifestyle. As in NO electric, automobiles, computers, TV, etc. The Berger family is very kind to Kate. She pitches in with the chores. Her talent: baking fruit pies. The Bergers have 3 daughters. One of the daugh [...]
I have been a longtime fan of Ms. Browne's writing so I am hoping this review does her book justice.I loved this story! I grew up in California and moving out east I became fascinated by the Amish way of life--something not seen back west. As the reader, we are taken on the journey Kate makes in discovering the Amish way of life. Ms. Brown obviously did extensive research into their way of life. I think it makes the love story a magical one because it is a place that does exist, but yet we proba [...]
Can't help myself. I know I read this for free as fanfiction, but I loved it so much that I felt like I owed it to Jennyfer to pay for it, too. I have over 200 books on my Kindle that I haven't read yet, but as soon as Healing Faith was available I bought it and re-read it. Truth, loved it just as much the second time. Jen has a real gift for story telling and I love that she immerses us in a world we rarely get to see. The romance between Nathan and Kate is a beautiful journey, but so happy she [...]
I won an ARC to this book and found myself immersed in a world I wish I could explore. As a child we got to go on field trips to Amish farms, making it quite easy for me to visualize and see myself at the dinner table Ms. Browne sits us at. The love of family, friends and God shines so brightly it would be impossible not to heal. Ms. Browne did an excellent job in showing us how different and amazing life could be if we just took a moment to appreciate it. I look forward to the next book and wis [...]
Healing Faith gives the reader an enlightening look into the Amish world through the eyes of Kate, a young woman who is in desperate need of healing. She finds sanctuary with the Berger family and loses her heart to sweet Nathan, a young man in need of healing of his own. Healing Faith is one of the sweetest love stories I've ever read. I can't wait for Book #2.
++Spoilers Possible++3 stars. I liked it, I didn't love it.The long & the short of it: This is a sickenly super sweet clean romance with a too perfect heroine.Overall: The writing itself was pretty good, but not without flaws. It was "nice." Romance:I felt a lack of a connection with the characters most likely because it's written 1st person POV with only the heroine's perspective. In all honesty, it truly wasn't necessary to get inside the hero's head, but I find that the romance seems to f [...]
As a full time reviewer there is usually little time left to read novels that are self-published. However, I've found that when I do read one, it's often times the book that pulls at my soul. Pulls at my heart and magically takes me to a world that I long to be a part of if only for awhile. Kate has found herself fleeing from an abusive relationship. An abuse that forces Kate to leave her family, friends, and the life that she knows to go into complete hiding. Little did she know that her jump i [...]
I loved this book. It made me want to clean my house, do laundry, make corn cakes, find a good strong Amish man, put on a bonnet and hop in his wagon. This is one of the few romance books that I've read that actually has some wholesome content and it's refreshing to get that once in a while.All together, this book took me away and gave me all of those feel good feelings a story can give you while reading. I smile when I think about this one. Healing Faith ((In Your World)) will always be a favor [...]
It wasn't even good as fanfiction.

5 Beautifully Written Stars!All I can say is WOW! I loved this book! I was completely taken with the love in this storye sense of family, the innocence, and the strength. But overall, it was thoroughly romantic with a great list of characters that you become invested in quickly. The hero is strong and sensitive, innocent and protective d completely, utterly taken with the heroine. He is not the average romantic male lead in the books I tend to read, but he is no less enthralling. The heroine is [...]
Mrs A's review.Katherine Hill is running from her abusive boyfriend Sean Miller. On the way to her sister, Stacy, in Illinois, the bus breaks down and she ends up in West Grove, Iowa where there seems to be nothing more than endless fields of corn.Sean finds the bus in the little town as it waits to be repaired, knowing she must be in the area somewhere he starts looking for her. She hides in the buggy of a Amish man named Jonah Berger.He takes Katherine home with him and puts her under his prot [...]
Kate sought refuge with a family in an Amish community, hiding from her abusive and obsessive boyfriend. In this community, she experienced love, care, and warmth from her adopted family which was a sharp contrast to her life in the “English” world. Her real father never paid her much attention and turned a blind eye to her boyfriend’s abuses. Though in the Amish community, she lived very simply, spending most of her time cleaning and cooking without any modern amenities, she truly felt ha [...]
I read this book when it was a fan fiction and loved it when I went back to re-read it i found out the author had pulled it off ff as it was going to be published.nce then I have been waiting for the book to be out now that I have bought it and read it again, I can't wait to read the next part An excellent story about finding where you belongHealing Faith is the story of Kate who runs away from an abusive boyfriend and takes shelter in an Amish community Here she finds love and a family Love in [...]
Loved It! I was lucky enough to read this as a fanfic sometime ago and loved it then. And now reading it again in it's newer revised published version I can again honestly say with 'hand on heart' "I Loved It". There's nothing like reading a good old paperback especially while relaxing in the sun and I have found this in Healing Faith.I'm now going to be constantly looking for any news for release dates for the second book in the series. If you read this Jennyfer Browne, Thank You! Thanks for ta [...]
I had the pleasure of reading the fanfiction to this as it was being written. I absolutely LOVED it! I assumed the published version was going to be almost exactly the same but with names changed. I was COMPLETELY wrong. It was sooo much better! There's so much more to the story now. Larger families with lots more details. I can honestly say this is on my top 10 of favorite books. Also, you'd never know this is a self pub. It is written beautifully with perfect grammar and punctuation. If you ha [...]
A beautifully written heart warming story full of great about finding your place in the world, and making it your own. I loved this book so much, it's a little window into a world unlike any I know, it makes me long for a simpler life dedicated to focusing on what's really important in life. Thank you Jennyfer Browne for having the strength and courage to craft this wonderful story for all of us!
Read it as a fanfiction and absolutely loved it! It completely opened my eyes to the Amish culture in a curious and intriguing way! Living in Arizona, the Amish are something of an extraordinary phenomenon to those of us who have never had the pleasure of meeting one! Plus, I completely ADORE the author and have read everything she's ever written!
This was such a sweet love story. It is very rare to come across a book that is so full of "innocence" Brings me back to such simple times, times that we do not see anymore. My only complaint is that I would have loved to "hear" Nathan. Regardless, I can't wait for the next book.
I am re-reading this fantastic book. Just can't get enough of the Amish lifestyle/love story!
Such a page turner! This story made me thirst for more.
read it when it was twilight fanfic :)loved it again even with the name changes :)
Healing Faith is an excellent story.I enjoyed getting to know the characters as they come to know themselves.I highly recommend this book to all.
Review to come eventuallybut suffice it to say that this is a story about survival, forgiveness, mourning, faith, and finding love in the most unexpected places.
