A PROMISE FOR MIRIAM
An Amish Romance
Harvest House
Amish schoolteacher Miriam King
loves her students. At 26, most women her age are married with children of
their own, but she hasn’t yet met anyone who can convince her to give up the
Plain school that sits along the banks of Pebble Creek. Then newcomer Gabriel
Miller steps into her life, bringing his daughter, an air of mystery, and
challenges Miriam has never faced before.

GET TO KNOW
VANNETTA
ANGI: What do you like about the hero of your book?
VANNETTA: I insist on a sympathetic hero ... otherwise I put the book down. He
can be a RELUCTANT hero, but I have to sympathize with the guy. I have to ROOT
for him on a very basic level.
ANGI: Is there a playlist you’d recommend for reading your latest release?
VANNETTA: Tim Grimm, Sarah Darling, The Band Perry, Edens Edge ... I could go on!
ANGI: Is there a “Blooper” in your story (it may have been changed before
printing)?
VANNETTA: I kept confusing DONKEYS and MULES. I know ... I'm showing my
"city roots." But seriously .... aren't they basically the same? No!
And some Amish only use one. I'll let you read the book to find out, but I did
correct myself. GUS is an important part of the story.
ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: What’s the favorite thing you’ve learned about the Amish community and
have you incorporated it into your books?
VANNETTA’S GOTTA ANSWER: I learn something new with every book. This book took me to Wisconsin
where things are much different! What tugged at my heart the most was walking
through the one room schoolhouse. Since I've taught for 15 years, that sight
captured my imagination. I learned it's still possible for students to learn is
such an environment--learn and be successful in our society.
