The Rainbow's End

Fay Risner in Book two of her Nurse Hal Amish series links the modern world to the timeless Amish way of life when Nurse Hallie Lindstrom falls in love with Amish widower John Lapp. This is a fascinating look at two differing cultures set in an intricate and richly detailed tapestry of a traditional Amish setting in southern Iowa. The Amish simple way of life based on faith, convictions and honesty is entwined in this love story between an English woman and an Amish man. Hallie Lindstrom, Home Health Nurse, has copper red hair, a fondness for jeans and owns a copper sedan which inhibits the Amish community's acceptance of her. Struggling with her decision to convert to Amish, Hallie realizes if she is allowed to marry John Lapp the worldly possessions she values have to go. Amish widower, John Lapp's patience with Hallie wears thin when she stays upset over his helping a pretty Amish widow, Roseanna Miller, on her farm. John points out Hal's total shunning of English ways and complete obedience to him is the only way he'll marry her. He fears his love for her isn't enough to keep her in the Amish faith if she can't go along with his ways. Stella Strutt, opinionated Old Order Amish, is determined to get rid of Hallie by turning the community against her. Hallie has to decide if she is strong enough to give up her way of life to be forever Amish, make a life in the community by running a medical clinic on the Lapp farm and put up with Stella Strutt bad mouthing her and the clinic for eternity.

Hello! I'm Fay Risner. I go by booksbyfay online. I enjoy writing about Amish life in the Nurse Hal Among The Amish series. As well as those books, I write a historical Amazing Gracie mystery series set in Iowa and Stringbean Hooper westerns. Also, I've written two books about Alzheimer's disease. I worked for many years in a nursing home and helped my mother care for my father which gave me insight about what caregivers deal with. A romance such as Christmas With Hover Hill thrown into the mixture of books is a good way to switch genres. When an idea comes to me, I write the story. Changing genres gives me flexibility as a writer. All my books are designed to offer some humor along with the serious moments. I write in 12 font to make my books reader friendly, and all my stories are suitable for any age group. My husband and I live on an acreage with chickens, rabbits, cats and through the summer months a herd of goats. We enjoy raising a large garden and flowers. For fun, we go fishing in the summer and read a lot of books in the winter.
