Hannah has been away from the Amish community for fifteen years. Fifteen years ago she wanted a taste of the English world, but had not expected to leave for good. She has a wonderful Amish family, and at the time she also was in love with Aaron Zook. She wanted to see what the outside world had to offer. It was not the life she was expecting. Fifteen years later she is now widowed and returning to Pontotoc with her teenage son. What is revealed in the rest of the story will surprise you. Will Hannah ever truly find a forever home where she feels like she belongs?
I really enjoyed reading about the Amish of Pontotoc, Mississippi. Amy Lillard does a great job bringing the characters to life. They experience circumstances that we can all relate to including guilt, forgiveness, faith, hope and love. Once you start reading this book, you won't be putting it down anytime soon!
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from the author and have given my honest opinion.

Hannah Gingerich McLean and her son Brandon return to Hannah's Amish roots in Pontotoc, MS after a devastating blow to her marriage. Hannah plans to get back on her feet and secure a normal life for her son and herself after a stay with her Amish family whom she has not seen in 15 years. After being welcomed back into her childhood home, Hannah tries to piece together her existence while her former life in Pontotoc subtly flows into her veins again as she remembers what and who she loved while growing up. A simple decision to stay or go weighs heavy on her heart as mistakes of the past cloud her future keeping her in limbo. Hannah must grasp at the remnents of her faith to build her strength to deal with God's plan for her. A plan that will change many lives.

Amy Lillard's new series is hard to put down. The story focuses on three major protagonists- Hannah, Brandon, and Aaron. Amy takes us into their minds as they dissect the lives they are living as well as the hopes and dreams they have. I loved Brandon (Hannah's son). His character portrayal is especially rich...ripe with emotion, dealing with typical teenage issues, but yet possessing a mind that sees a greater plan, one with spiritual implications. All this coming from a young man who has barely graced the insides of a church!

I look forward to traveling along with these characters as they follow their destinies in Pontotoc, MS. This is definitely a book you want to add to your collection!

All the books I have ordered form you have kept me interested in them. Some you suggested for me to read and those were just as interesting.

I loves it!

Fifteen years ago, Hannah left her strict Amish community and the young boy she loved to live among the English for a little while. Something happens and she winds up getting married and has a son. Now, newly widowed with a teenage son, she is back needing a place to stay until her financial matters get worked out. Will her parents allow her to stay?? Will the community allow her to stay??

She runs into her first love and realizes he is widowed with young daughters. She wonders – did she ever stop loving him, but she knows it’s too late, she is now English.

This is a wonderful story with love, loss, happiness and sadness, but most of all forgiveness. Amy Lillard never fails to tap into many of our emotions, such a wonderful writer. I had a hard time putting it down.

For several years now Amy Lillard has been one of my main go-to Amish fiction authors so I was pretty excited to find out that she had a new series coming out, A Home For Hannah being the first book. One of the things I like about her books is that she writes about Amish communities in locations that we wouldn't traditionally think of as Amish, this time in Mississippi.

While I am in a much different season of life than Hannah and Aaron, Amy Lillard painted them in such a sympathetic light that I was totally invested in their story, their circumstances, the choices they made. Even when I had to go about other things I found myself thinking, and wondering, about the characters and what might happen next.

It really didn't take me long to read A Home For Hannah, as with most Amy Lillard books, and I definitely enjoyed my time in Pontotoc. If you are an Amish fiction fan this is a series to check out!

I will not spoil this wonderful story by Lillard by giving to much away. I honestly thought this was just a wonderfully written story of how love continues to win. I will be waiting and anticipating for Lillards next release in this new series. Make sure you pick up your copy today friends you won't be disappointed.
