Reviews:
"Fans of the TV show "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" will
adore this novel! Sara came across to me as almost a mirror image of
Dr. Quinn. She is strong when need be (stubborn), stands up for
those in need (sharp tongued), and has so much love to give
everyone. She also must deal with the Amish ordnung (rules) which makes everything near impossible. I found myself cheering her on to victory. The author, Annette Blair, has a real writing talent. She inserts tiny things that the reader does not immediately notice, but makes the reader come to care for the characters as if they were kin. You may need tissues nearby at some points of the story. Another award winner that I cannot recommend highly enough." Detra Fitch, HUNTRESS REVIEWS
"Annette Blair writes a wonderfully insightful Amish historical romance ... Fans who appreciate a deep look at a different lifestyle will enjoy THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN &
JACOB'S RETURN for their deep look at the Amish ..." Harriet Klausner
"Those of you who are fans of Annette Blair or Amish romances will be thrilled with her newest book! It seems like forever since Blair’s first Amish romance
JACOB'S RETURN was on the shelves. Her second ... set in Ohio this time, is every bit as good as her first. I found myself transported ..." Shelby, ARR
"Sensual and thematic tension, heartache, and Annette Blair's fine writing and wit combine in equal measure to make "The Butterfly Garden" a unique, romantic, and thoroughly pleasing novel. It's a keeper." Michelle Buonfiglio, Romance: B(u)Y the Book, wnbc entertainment
"A love story as memorable as the characters who share it... richly detailed...warm, witty, touching. A top-notch read. A gifted writer. Debbie Jett, RRAH |

A prodigal son, a forbidden love,
and a fanatical preacher form a deadly combination in a tale as
shocking as it is compelling, as uplifting as it is
unforgettable. An
award winning
story of love and faith in impossible circumstances.
"Annette
Blair has crafted a story that will long linger in the minds of
her readers. Every page seems to overflow with some form of
strong emotion, I find it impossible to articulate my true
feelings. My emotions are in a state of turmoil. Yes, the ending
is happy, joyous. But I read this entire story in one sitting,
and I currently feel as though the author grabbed each emotion
from within me and wrung it dry. I laughed. I cried. My heart
ached. I despaired that a happy ending could ever come to be. I
bit my nails (something I do have not done since I was a child)
down to nubs. Right this second, I can say that I am extremely
happy and emotionally exhausted. Annette Blair has a phenomenal
writing talent. Readers will find themselves instantly
transported to another time and place, where they will meet and
come to know the most amazing people. Be prepared for a wide
variety of emotions to collide within yourself as you read this
inspiring, story. Brilliant!" 2011 Detra
Fitch, Huntress Reviews
"An entertaining tale of redemption as the Amish society
provides a strong backdrop to the tale of two rival brothers and
the good woman between them. The story line is character driven
with each key player having faults and flaws that make them seem
real. Readers will enjoy this late nineteenth century Amish
family drama..." 2011 Harriett Klausner,The Best Reviews, Genre
Go Round,
“Enthralled
with the people and story, I couldn't put it down. I carried it
with me everywhere, until I finished every golden word. Annette
Blair shines and is a major talent. JACOB'S RETURN should be
read by anyone who believes in the enduring qualities of love
and family, and then it should be made into a movie. It is
beautifully written, poignant, and drew me in as no other book
has done in a long time. Annette, thank you for filling my days
and my heart with your story.” 1999

“JACOB'S
RETURN pulled me into another world, making me part of the
community, making me love and care about its members, making me
rejoice and making me cry. The Amish community Annette Blair
describes is a wonderful place with a strong spirit and sense of
family. There is a wealth of color and detail in her delineation
of the culture and daily life of the community. It is a moving,
powerful story and displays a major new talent. I recommend it
wholeheartedly.” 1999
