About the Book
The first novel in the new Amish Journeys series by bestselling author Beth Wiseman, Hearts in Harmony explores how far the heart will travel for the melody of love.
Musical prodigy Levi Shetler hasn’t touched a piano since he secretly played one many years ago. His strict Amish community forbids instruments or the singing of any music not in their approved songbook. Levi asks God often why music tempts him when playing an instrument isn’t allowed in his world.
One person knows Levi’s talents: Mary Hershberger, the girl who promised years ago to keep his secret. Mary comes from a more liberal district than Levi, but she’s facing family troubles of her own. The mutual care for an aging Englischer, Adeline, reunites Mary and Levi as young adults. They realize that, despite their differences, they have a shared love of music—and a shared confusion about whether their talents are God-given gifts or temptations luring them into the Englisch world.
The couple realizes they must compromise or part ways, but a tragic accident shakes their decision. Both Mary and Levi will need to reconcile what they love with what their hearts say is right—because even as their passion for music brings them together, it could be what tears them apart.

My Review
Beth Wiseman introduces her new series Amish Journey with the heart-warming novel Hearts in Harmony. The highlight of this book to me was family and how all families come in different forms and backgrounds. This is a book where you may need some tissues from time to time but the heart and depth of wisdom in this novel is something worth remembering and holding onto. Wiseman introduces and focuses on four wonderful characters that come together to teach her readers a wonderful lesson of what truly matters when it comes to family.
It is not the events in my life that will define who I am, but how I interpret them and choose to move forward. Being intentional and practicing due diligence is how I will become the person I want to be. The path won’t always be sturdy beneath my feet, but laying the foundation stone by stone will strengthen and guide my journey.” -Natalie: Hearts in Harmony
