When the Heart Cries, by Cindy Woodsmall


When the Heart Cries
Hannah Lapp was born and raised in an Old Order Amish home, without electricity, a telephone, or the right to follow her heart. Without her parents' knowledge, she's been in love with Mennonite Paul Waddell for years. When he asks her to marry him, she accepts, even though to do so will cause her family to avoid her for the rest of her life.
Before Hannah and Paul reveal their relationship, tragedy strikes. In one unwelcome encounter, all that Hannah has known and believed is destroyed and she faces losing everything: her family, her fiancé, and even her faith in God.



Cindy Woodsmall is an artisan! The world she creates in When the Heart Cries will tug and pull at you the entire read. Characters with lion-heart courage—that grip you and don’t let go for the entire book—are as relentless and deep as they are vivid. A heart-wrenching story that steals my breath, mists my eyes, and stirs my heart. You won’t be disappointed with this book!!

  1. Ronie, you have such a wonderful way with words. I want to read that book.

    Will you write how wonderful my book is when it is done :)

    To Ronie -- Writer and author Extraoadinaire.

    Also - What are all those other books you've started? Hadn't heard of them. (PacJac still trying to finish one)

  2. What are you doing? Writing three books at once? Step away from the caffeinne.

  3. I had the privilige of being one of Cindy's critique partners for a while (before I had to drop out because of school) and got to read this story as it developed. Everyone needs to buy and read this book and its sequels!
