Olivia Newport’s novels twist through time to find where faith and passions meet.
Her husband and two twenty-something children provide welcome distraction from the people stomping through her head on their way into her books. She chases joy in stunning Colorado at the foot of the Rockies, where daylilies grow as tall as she is. |

(Amish Turns of Time #2) by Olivia Newport
Purchase: [Kindle | Amazon | The Book Depository] Suddenly shun has become a serious word for Clara Kuhn. As 1917 approaches, her Amish church’s aging bishop is coming down hard on members who dally in untraditional practices—like offering Sunday school for children—and Clara’s gift for telling Bible stories to little ones collides with new mandates. The young Pennsylvania Amish woman had always moved freely over the state line to visit family in the more progressive Maryland district, but now those visits are coming under scrutiny by some members of Clara’s church. On the verge of accepting Andrew Raber’s marriage proposal, Clara is unsure what to make of his new hobby to rehabilitate an abandoned Model T. Just how ward can they push against the bishop’s wishes? As the chasm widens between Old Order Amish and the Marylanders, and tensions rise between longtime friends and close-knit family, Clara and Andrew must look inward to examine their own hearts and consciences and, above all, seek Gottes wille—God’s will. |
Praise for MEEK AND MILD:
Newport writes her Amish books with style and grace. Meek and Mild is a well written novel with characters who are sweet, caring, and determined to follow what they believe is the best for them, not necessarily what the bishop wants. This is a lovely tale of attempting to reconcile one's desires with one's faith. (Patsy Glans RT Book Reviews 2015-02-01)
