I have scoured publisher websites and reached out to authors directly to ensure that all the Amish fiction your heart desires is covered. Release dates can shift, but I will update this list if new information becomes available.

She can’t stop the darkness from closing in, but one forbidden hike could lead her to love… or cost her everything.
Miriam Troyer has always lived by the rules: serve her family, obey her mother, and surrender her dreams to the life chosen for her. But when her vision begins to fade and her controlling mother arranges a loveless marriage, Miriam refuses to let blindness—or fear—decide her future. Running away is reckless… but staying could mean losing herself forever.
She never expected MJ King to be on the same road. Torn between duty to his family and the freedom he longs for, MJ has spent years carrying expectations that no longer fit the man he’s becoming. When Miriam steps into his path, her quiet courage awakens something he thought he’d lost… a longing for faith that feels personal, not prescribed, and a love that asks him to stay when every instinct tells him to run.
As her vision fades and her independence slips away, Miriam must decide what she’s willing to risk for love, for faith, and for the life she’s only begun to glimpse.

As a young man growing up in an Amish family, Amos struggles to fit in. Slow in school, overweight, and afflicted with terrible acne, he feels he’s a constant disappointment to his mother, sisters, teachers, and employers. Convinced that he will never be good enough for them, he leaves home and accepts a job as a live-in groundskeeper for an “English” (non-Amish) couple. Gradually, he moves toward a healthier, more confident version of himself. But he can’t leave behind the fact that living as an English person—driving a pickup truck, sporting short hair and a flannel button-up shirt—is the greatest disappointment to his family yet.
When Amos meets Skye, he’s drawn to her refreshingly forthright mannerisms. With her camouflage baseball cap and love of the outdoors, she’s fun and free in ways that only an English girl can be. And then there’s Anna, a young Amish woman who is sweet and kind and unmistakably cute. In fact, she’s special enough to make him wonder if he could go back to the Amish life to be with her. But how could he do that with any kind of sincerity, given he’s not even sure he believes in God?
Author Linda Byler is an active member of the Amish church and writes all her novels by hand with a pen and notebook. She offers a unique and fascinating look into Amish history and culture.
