With two matchmakers on the loose in the Amish community of Birch Creek, the new innkeeper doesn’t stand a chance in this sweet Amish romance. When Selah Ropp returns to Birch Creek, she is a different person than when she left. I know I haven’t done much listening in the past, Lord, she prays. But I’m listening now. Her new friend, Cevilla Schlabach, urges her to let go of regrets and allow this to be a fresh start. Cevilla herself, though, hides a secret longing behind her weathered face. Levi Stoll and his family spent a year transforming a large English house into a small inn. Now that they are open for business, Levi is pleased to have Selah join them as an employee—as long as his grandmother doesn’t try any matchmaking schemes on the two of them. After all, Selah seems as guarded as he feels, and the last thing he wants is for anyone to remind him of his history. With Kathleen Fuller’s trademark humor and memorable characters, The Innkeeper’s Bride reminds us that God’s grace in the present and our hope for the future is stronger than any pain of the past. Sweet Amish romance Full-length novel Third in the Brides of Birch Creek series, but can be read as a stand-alone

Bride of the Elven Innkeeper by Autumn Wolff Pdf

For those who loved Legends & Lattes and Can't Spell Treason Without Tea comes a cozy Lesbian Tavern Romance about an elven innkeeper who is going to lose everything until her coworker suggests marriage as a solution to save their business and home. Running a successful inn is hard work. There are customers to check in, food to prepare, horses to stable, and much more for Lucia to juggle. The crystal elf spends her days working 16-hour shifts to keep the Flying Filly in business. There's little time for a life outside of work beyond what quiet moments she finds before bed to crack open a book. And if there's no time for hobbies or social events, Lucia definitely has no room in her schedule for romance. And it doesn't matter how fast her heart beats when her coworker, Lina, is around. Her head can spin all it wants when the two accidentally touch while working in the kitchen or behind the front desk. Love is for people with free time, and Lucia is far too busy to fit into that category. But everything changes as their city faces a new threat from religious fanatics spreading across the land. Kamas is the last free city on the western half of the continent, and the Crimson Cloaks are eager to conquer. So, a desperate king hatches a quick plan to save his city. He'll hire the best mercenaries coin can buy and levy a new tax on every business in the city to pay for it. And the crown will absorb any company that can't afford the fee. Faced with the prospect of losing her business and home, Lucia is about to panic when Lina offers an unorthodox solution: They'll get married and join their finances to pay the sudden tax. It's a wild idea that leaves the innkeeper with all sorts of conflicted emotions. And while she gratefully accepts Lina's proposal, inside Lucia is shaken to her very core. The Flying Filly will be saved, but the crystal elf will have to face her feelings and decide whether this is just a marriage of convenience. . . or perhaps something more. Bride of the Elven Innkeeper is a cozy sapphic fantasy about a hardworking elf who has no time for love until circumstances and a kind birdfolk force her to reconsider. It's full of cute moments and sincere hearts, perfect for a leisurely read.

Trauma and Transcendence in Early Qing Literature by Wilt L. Idema,Wai-yee Li,Ellen Widmer Pdf

"The collapse of the Ming dynasty and the Manchu conquest of China were traumatic experiences for Chinese intellectuals, not only because of the many decades of destructive warfare but also because of the adjustments necessary to life under a foreign regime. History became a defining subject in their writings, and it went on shaping literary production in succeeding generations as the Ming continued to be remembered, re-imagined, and refigured on new terms. The twelve chapters in this volume and the introductory essays on early Qing poetry, prose, and drama understand the writings of this era wholly or in part as attempts to recover from or transcend the trauma of the transition years. By the end of the seventeenth century, the sense of trauma had diminished, and a mood of accommodation had taken hold. Varying shades of lament or reconciliation, critical or nostalgic retrospection on the Ming, and rejection or acceptance of the new order distinguish the many voices in these writings."

The Teacher's Bride by Kathleen Fuller Pdf

A fun and heartwarming Amish rom-com where opposites really do attract. If there is one thing Christian Ropp will not allow in his classroom—or his life—it’s chaos. So why is he drawn to Ruby Glick, a woman who seems to bring mayhem wherever she goes? Christian Ropp moves to Birch Creek to accept a teaching position in the rapidly growing Amish community. He’s determined to put the rambunctious school in order as well as check another task off his list: finding a wife. Of course, that would be much easier if women were like textbooks, straightforward and logical. When an accident puts Christian out of commission, a new community member named Ruby Glick takes over his classroom. But Ruby’s exuberant teaching style clashes with Christian's careful methods and he worries his students will never be the same. With a track record of catastrophe, Ruby always feels too clumsy, too distracted, too . . . much. Desperate for a chance to prove that she can do more than make mistakes in her life, she throws herself into her new teaching position. But when Christian can’t seem to stay out of her way, she finds herself slipping into old, chaotic tendencies. What she doesn’t anticipate is that Christian's heart is slowly catching up with his mind—and she, too, must decide whether to follow logic or love.
