Miriam’s Little Gentleman by Anne Blackburne is a sweet, gentle story with a rollicking plot to keep you turning those pages. If you think a gentle Amish community is boring, then you haven’t been reading The Heart of the Amish series!

If you love cats, this book is for you! With adorable felines all through the book, we follow an Amish painter whose career is starting to take off, and the man who broke her heart six years earlier.

With plenty of excitement along the way that I don’t want to ruin for you, Miriam’s Little Gentleman is an enjoyable tale and a perfect weekend read. Anne Blackburne is already proving herself to be a fan favorite in the Amish fiction genre, and this newest book shows you why! With an endearing community, likeable characters, and a whole platoon of cats, you’ll find yourself smiling by the end of this thoroughly enjoyable story!

This book releases May 1, 2026, and if you enjoy sweet, gentle Amish stories, you’ll want to be sure to pick it up!

Happy reading!
