Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Elena Rose (The Bookish Queen)
Elena Rose (The Bookish Queen) asked Amy Clipston:

I'm in love with your Amish books, my favorite being the Heart's Shelter. What first made you want to start writing books within that genre?

Amy Clipston Thank you for reading my books! I'm thrilled you enjoy them! I was always fascinated with the Amish when I was a child. I remember visiting Lancaster County, and my father, who was a German immigrant, told me that the Amish speak the same dialect of German as my relatives. I was drawn to their simplicity and faith. Due to my German heritage, I feel a loose connection to the Amish and their culture.

Natalie asked Amy Clipston:

Hi Amy, Should I read The Forgotten Recipe before I read your novella, Love Birds, An Amish Market? I realize that one of the main characters, Ellie Lapp, appears to be a secondary character in Veronica's story. Thanks for the clarification! Natalie
