This is an amazing, beautifully-written story with characters that I quickly came to care about. The heartbeat of this story is Lydia and the wonderful heart she has for helping other people. Lydia has to adjust quickly to unexpected changes that come her way because of decisions made by her mother. At first she feels completely lost and uncertain, but it doesn’t take long for her strong spirit to recover and begin to make the best of a difficult situation. Silas is grateful to both Lydia and her mother for their help with his children, but he is also struggling with the changes this has brought to their home. Although they clash at times, Silas and Lydia both come to see the good qualities in each other and how they could make a good team. It was fun watching them clash and gradually find the happiness they both deserved. Mindy Steele has given us another compelling love story that was a joy to read.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This book was a joy to read and I couldn’t put it down. Lydia and Silas are so different, will it work fo them? I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

To Catch a Hummingbird is a very well written Amish romance. A very good plot and character dynamics. I recommend this book to fans of Amish books.

This book and author are new to me.
The writing was well done and just the right amount of romance mixed in.
I thought Lydia was a little hard to get to know but as we read on we really find out why. But still I can relate to her a lot!
Silas too is a little bit hard to know.
I enjoyed getting to know him and his children.
I think the Amish way of life is truly charming but truth be told there's no way I could do it. It's the main reason why I'm fascinated with them and their simple way of life.
This book really had me turning the page to see if Lydia and Silas could work things out.
His children are just awesome!
I think Mary May is a beautiful and an usual name. She's the sweetest! I could actually picture her the way the author describes her.
I also got a few snickers out of this story. I love books that can make me do that.
I highly recommend this book. All opinions are my own.
Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this beautiful
story.
Five stars!

This book was a joy to read! It's well written and the author brings the story to life with her words. It's a sweet Amish romance that will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. Thank you Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the complimentary copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

Lydia Rose Miller is a bundle of energy, but she's also an emotional wreck. When we first meet her, she is filled with guilt, grief, anxiety, and frustration. Not your usual Amish maiden, right? This is one reason I enjoyed this book so very much. Author Mindy Steele understands the Amish way of life, but she also knows that it isn't exempt from problems, and she's woven an intriguing tale of a mother and daughter facing a financial burden that can't be resolved. Hazel Miller's decision for them to help widower Silas Graber care for his three young children is certainly not a happy choice for her youngest daughter Lydia!
Lydia knew little of Silas Graber other than he'd lost a wife, seldom spoke, and never smiled. Why, then, should she be expected to help him care for these three motherless children? She just couldn't, even though circumstances made it necessary.

I loved the chemistry between Lydia and Silas, and it's apparent that their initial reservations toward each other may be temporary. I also enjoyed watching Lydia's maternal instincts blossom as she cares for these precious Graber children. Lydia finally experiences the best kind of emotions....love, joy, and hope. Until...a tragic accident threatens Miller Creek forever!

To Catch a Hummingbird is a touching, romantic, and realistic look at the Amish way of life and I look forward to returning to Miller Creek. I recommend this book to all who enjoy Amish fiction.

When Lydia's mother sells the farm and moves them into Widower Silas Graber home to help him with his children Lydia is furious with her mother and her Uncle.

To Catch a Hummingbird is an enjoyable story of an Amish woman who blames herself for her father's death. She and her mother cannot keep up with all of the medical bills and take care of the farm. So the mother, Hazel, agrees to sell the farm and move to a widowers home to help care for his children. Lydia stays busy as much as possible. She thinks of Silas Graber, the widower, as someone who stays apart from others and is a stern man. As they get to know one another, her opinion begins to change. He is amazed at the difference she has made in his children in such a short time. Her former boyfriend comes back and confuses her some, but in the end she knows where her heart is and where it belongs. Great story!

The Miller's Creek series begins with the book. Lydia is such a compassionate person, working hard to help others while guarding her guilty secret. Silas has never gotten over losing his wife in childbirth and is trying to take care of his children. The bishop and Lydia's mamm come up with a plan to help these two hurting people. Will the plan work? I found the ending to be abrupt but overall an enjoyable read. Looking forward to the next book.

Since her father’s death, twenty-three-year-old Lydia Miller stays busy, trying to keep the family farm afloat. It leaves little time to think and to regret what she did. Her mother runs the local bakery and unexpectedly sells their home without Lydia’s thoughts on the matter. Worse, they now must live with the local widower, and Lydia is expected to care for his children. Nothing in life has prepared her for the resistance she will face or the quick attachments she makes.

Widower Silas Graber fell right into the Bishop’s plan. He did need help, but he thought he was getting Hazel Miller not her daughter with a chip on her shoulder. Her ways are nothing like his late wife’s, and it’s clear she knows nothing about raising children.

However, he can’t help but notice how she quickly breathes life back into his world. And his children notice it, too. Before long, she has become a part of their lives, and she starts learning to leave the past behind her. And falls in love. But she’s not so certain Silas is ready to give his heart away again. Neither is he. This superbly written story stayed with me long after I had turned the last page… I will read again and again I’m sure.

Life can change in a split second and send our lives into unexpected directions. Lydia Miller has found this to happen in her life. Struggling with guilt and a loss of sense of direction in her life after her father has passed away, she and her mother must now do whatever they can to continue to survive since they had to sell their home and farm. They are forced to move in and help a local widower, Silas, with his three children and home. Lydia has no experience working with children and feels she is totally out of her element. She has always been a very active, loving, giving person flitting from one act of service to another to help anyone in need.

Silas comes to see Lydia as a welcome surprise even though she does things so differently than his wife had done. She brings new life to their home, but he is not sure that even after four years of his wife being gone, and the attention of many of the unmarried women of their community, that he is ready to pursue a relationship. Will Lydia be able to overcome her guilt and fears, and Silas overcome his hesitation for a relationship?

I highly recommend this enjoyable book that you will not want to put down. I received a copy from NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op. The comments given are entirely my own.

I found this read very enjoyable, struggles that happen to many whether you’re Amish or not.
Lydia Miller is struggling with guilt, and her mother is strapped with medical bills, and when she finds away out she grabs it. Lydia doesn’t go kicking and screaming, but close, but with three motherless children her heart will be melting to help them.
Now poor Silas has to deal with Lydia, but all the other unmarried Amish maidens, who seem to set their bonnets for him. Also, watch some of these young woman who truly do not live their faith.
The title of the resonates as Lydia is like a flittering hummingbird, seems she is always going from one task to another, giving of herself to the misfortunate and those in need.
Will this young woman ever find love and a home of her own?
