 Her Amish Identity by Jennifer Spredman is her former book, Love Impossible-Amish Dreams renamed and relaunched.  

From the back cover: A troubled home. An altered identity. And a second chance at love.


Sarah isn't who she thinks she is...

When amnesiac Sarah discovers she was Amish in the life she no longer remembers, her life is turned upside down. She has an Englisch family now—a husband and two daughters. But what happens when she discovers she also has an Amish family, which includes an Amish husband and kinner?

When secrets are revealed and lies are unraveled, she can no longer trust those who should have protected her in her most vulnerable moments. As she pieces together her past life, she feels torn between two worlds. Can God use this impossible situation for His glory?

An Amish romance you won’t soon forget—no pun intended!

Warning some spoilers in this review: 

This book has a lot going for it.  I am an avid reader of Amish stories and you don't see amnesia in a lot of the story lines.  I was interested to see how the story would unfold when Sarah finds out she has two husbands and families.  

Sarah was a well thought out character and the author really invested a lot of time bringing her to life.  I was very drawn in and had a hard time putting the book down through the beginning and middle.  She was caught between two families and you could truly feel her pain and hurt trying to make the best decision. 

Then the book hit some bumps.  As the story progressed Sarah's current husband simply dumped her and sent her packing taking the kids with him. It was actually quite jarring and felt a bit out of step with how the story was unfolding.  It basically forced Sarah into going back to her first husband.  Which honestly, she may have done anyway.  It made the story line a bit bumpy and random for me. 

After that things smoothed out and the book found it's rhythm again and the story settled back down.  The story ended strong and loose ends in the middle were fixed.  

So pick up your copy of Her Amish Identity (releasing on Jan 21st).  Happy Reading!
