Linda Byler, a lifelong Amish is the author of this title, Becky Meets Her Match. Linda’s stories of Amish people are an interesting way to learn more about the Amish people.
In this story Becky lives with her parents and excels in her schoolwork. However, she is a bit overweight and is very self-conscious about that, believing she will never have a husband and her own home. She sings well and loves to help her dad on the farm. She visits an “English” nursing home and feels drawn to go back to visit a person who lives there. She is a good listener and a good care giver and eventually she is given a job working at the nursing home.
While at the nursing home, she feels like something is missing in her life.
Then Daniel comes into her life. You will have to read the book to find out what happens!

Born March 14,1950- Swedish Hospital- Seattle, Washington, I was third child in a family that would eventually have 8 Children, as follows listed in order of oldest to youngest: Francie, David, me, Ruthie, Jonathan, Lawrence, Margi and Shirley Jean* Sadly, Ruthie and Shirley Jean are now deceased.
I am married to my dear wife Marthanne and the two of us tied the knot on April 4,1982. Marthanne has been and continues to be the highlight in my life ever since.
I can trace my love of reading books to my childhood and credit my parents who read books to us and encouraged a love for reading in all of us kids. When I was in 2nd or 3rd Grade, the school I attended had kids in grades 1-4 in one room and along the back wall of the room was a long row of books (our library) close to 150 different titles. That year I read every book in my room’s “library”.
Just before I turned 22 in 1972 I came to visit some friends in Maryland. My friend Brent had just become the manager of a Christian book store in Columbia Maryland and he invited me to work with him. I accepted the job and in 2017 retired from a 45-year career in the same bookstore and organization.
Reading books, selling books, meeting many amazing customers, and meeting interesting and delightful authors was an enriching experience I will always cherish.
One of the things that we did at the bookstore was have author events where the author would come to the store and our customers could meet the authors.
Several of the authors that were special highlights to me during my time at the bookstore include, Rosa Parks, Ben Carson, Barry Black, H.M.S Richards, Willie Jolley, Mark Batterson, Ted Wilson, C.D. Brooks and dozens more.
It was because of this passion I have of reading books, and my lifelong experience being around books and meeting these marvelous authors that prompted me to start this blog. I enjoy reading and posting my reviews of these books and I hope you find them as interesting and spiritually fulfilling as I do.
