Read The Promise of an Angel (A Heaven On Earth 1) Storyline:

ReviewFirst-time novelist Reid taps into two fan bases--Amish fiction and angel tales--in this lovely story that seamlessly blends both worlds. Reid has written a fine novel that provides, as its series title claims, a bit of "heaven on earth." --Publishers WeeklyI would encourage all readers of Amish fiction, and those who have been tempted to read the genre but have been put off by the typical, romantic plots, to look out for Ruth Reid's Heaven on Earth series. If The Promise of an Angel is anything to judge by, it looks like she's going to become a favourite amongst Amish fans. --The Christian Manifesto Product DescriptionInterrupting the ordered routine of the Mecosta County Amish settlement, an angelic visitor awakens Judith to a new faith.All Judith Fischer ever wanted is to marry within her community and raise a family. She longs for the day when her parents will allow Levi Plank to officially court her.But on the day Judith suspects Levi will ask her parent's permission, her younger brother Samuel has an accident under her charge. Rushing to Samuel's aid, Judith spies a strange man helping him; a man she later believes was an angel.When she shares her conviction with her family and close friends, she is shocked to find that no one believes her, including Levi. In the days following the accident, the angel visits Judith with information that may guide her down the path of faith, should she choose to follow.As her community slowly distances themselves, only one person is willing to stand up for her―the bishop's son, Andrew Lapp. But can he convince the settlement to listen to her? With a show of faith that flies in the face of her conservative upbringing, can Judith hold strong to the promise that there are even greater things in store for those who believe in God's miracles?
