"This is a collection of four short stories. The first three revolve around three Amish siblings and their parents. The parents are Abraham and Mary Graber; and their children include Martha, Sarah, and John. The last story allows the reader to become acquainted with the Millers; consisting of the Bishop, his wife, and their daughter, Rebecca. These people all live in an Amish community and live very simple lives. Most of the men farm their land to provide for their families. The women stay home, cook, clean, and raise their children. The women sometimes sell baked goods at the outdoor markets. While the Amish people live simple lives, they also live by very strict rules and guidelines as outlined by their religion. Often times young people are not allowed to marry their chosen mate; the marriages are arranged by the parents. Before marriage, young adults are required to reach the proper age, take classes, and become baptized. Subsequently, some young ones rebel against the rules of the Amish community and choose mates or careers in what is known to the Amish as belonging in the "Englisher world". Such is the case with the siblings and the Bishop's daughter in these stories. Due to these circumstances they have the possibility of being shunned from their community. Knowing shunning is a possibility, all of the siblings and the Bishop's daughter expire to have dream careers or marriages that would not seem appropriate to the Amish community. Ms. Becker writes with such passion that the characters actually come to life on the page. It is though the reader is there living through them. The reader can feel the love and compassion the young people have towards the mate they have chosen for themselves as well as their emotions. They can also sense the importance their dream careers mean to them. The reader can also feel the pain felt by these people as they work through the obstacles they encounter along the way. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a fresh, clean Amish romance. It is truly inspiring, and the reader learns along with the characters the importance in having faith and trust in God. Congratulations, Ms. Becker, for creating yet another masterpiece; and I look forward to reading more books by you! This book was provided to me by Ms. Becker as a complimentary copy in exchange for a fair and honest review. All views and opinions expressed are strictly that of the reader. No monetary compensation was received."

"The writing style was very easy to follow. This is one of the better books. Only thing I would change is the marriage of the school teacher. Can she still teach? And what did he do for a living? This would have been a good time for him to farm. Her father wanted every child to farm and no one did. That's the only problem I saw with the stories."

"Read this story before and was very entertained. It has the realistic settings of an Amish community and Sarah's wish to open a restaurant is outside of the faith's guidelines. Loved the interaction between the characters, and how Sarah's parents secretly let her explore her culinary talents. I highly recommend this book. You will enjoy it."

"This book is about multiple siblings and their search for their life partner and their HEA. Each story is separate but yet connected to each other. Each one has some obstacle that poses a deterrent to the one that GOD has sent their way... Will they make the correct choice and work out through the obstacles that are in their way and trust God to make the right choice for their future."

"This was a very intense, enjoyable book- sometimes Amish genre isn’t very good. However, Becker takes a fairly contemporary situation and draws you in. I would recommend this"

"I liked the way all the siblings stories were told. Even the Amish has ups and downs in life. In each story, they did not want to go against their teachings but to follow God. Lots of prayer and perseverance was needed by each couple. to find their happiness."

"I have read Amish Siblings. I think the basic ideas that the author puts across are some that many of the younger Amish generation work through, I'd like to see the characters fleshed out more, but the overall concept is good."

"4 stars I purchased the Amish Sibling box set by Sandra Becker 4/8/2017 and this review was given freely. This is a collection of four short stories centered around the siblings Martha, John, Sarah and Sarah's brother in law Paul. Each snippet covers the time of initial meeting, a struggle with a life choice which may not be accepted by their community, and then marriage. Each story is brief, written with the modern English flavor of the Amish language and provides you different glimpses into the Amish culture."
