Determined to experience the freedom of living in the Englisch world, he left Emma heart-broken. How could he have chosen the world over her? Now Adam is back in Middlefield and Emma can't seem to keep him away from her family's farm. But this time she's determiend to guard her heart.

Reviews for Treasuring Emma
21 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Adam was Emma’s best friend and first love. But he left the Amish community for the freedom of the English world and to get away from his father’s many rules. Now, a couple of years later, he is back, mostly because of his mother. Fearing she is in poor health, he decides to remain for a few weeks. But his attitudes -and his heart - are changing. Emma attracts the attention of a new man, and the whole situation distresses Adam. This first book in the series is well written, with likable characters placed in an interesting plot. It’s a nice story and a good lead-in to even better tales to come in the rest of the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Emma Shetler has suffered a lot of heartbreak in her life - first her father and then her mother died, leaving her struggling to find a way to support herself and her grandmother. She has her sister Clara but they don't get along all that well and Clara has her own problems with her husband Peter. At one point Emma hoped to marry Adam Otto, but he left the Amish community. Now he is back for a brief visit and Emma finds her old feelings for him resurfacing. Adam has no intention of staying but finds himself reluctant to leave - not only does Emma need his help but he doesn't quite trust Peter's cousin Mark who suddenly is paying way too much attention to Emma."Treasuring Emma" is another nice novel by Kathleen Fuller set among the Amish living in Middlefield, Ohio. Emma is a strongly written heroine - devastated by her losses and struggling to survive. Her relationship with her sister is well done as is her sister's own struggles and uncertainty in her relationship with her husband Peter. Fuller does a good job of showing that neither Emma nor Clara are completely right as they try to do what they can to survive in today's economy (the economy plays a major role in this book). Adam is also well done as he thinks he has no intention of returning to the Amish way of life yet continues to feel it tug at him. One of the things I like best is that Emma is not the typical thin beautiful character found in romance novels - Emma is plain and a bit plump. Another great character is Emma and Clara's Grossmammi - a wise woman who knows people better than they themselves seem to do. Initially, I thought the villain of the book was written a bit over the top, but by the end of the book he was really scary and his actions led to some genuinely frightening moments in the book. My one complaint may be that Adam's return to Middlefield seemed a bit of a contrived plot device - Fuller left that plotline dangling - perhaps intentionally - but it was a bit annoying."Treasuring Emma" is another winner by Kathleen Fuller and I look forward to my next visit to Middlefield.
