"In the final installment of the Amish Heirloom series, the Fisher sisters learn the mystery behind their parents' marriage--and about the sibling who has never been spoken of. Mattie Fisher's three daughters know that she's been keeping a secret from them. With each item pulled from the beloved family hope chest, they've discovered a new clue about their mother's past. But there's a reason Mattie has been keeping her history hidden, and she's not sure she's ready to reopen old wounds. Will dredging up the past change the way her children view her? Or her marriage to their father? And can she handle the pain of revisiting the memories that preceded the last few happy decades? Mattie's story is one of grief and learning to love again. But like the best things preserved in a hope chest, it's a story of love and redemption born out of heartache--and it's past time to share it"-- "From bestselling author Amy Clipston, The Beloved Hope Chest peers into the life of Mattie Fisher as she shares a story of heartache and redemption with her three cherished daughters"--… (mer)

This novel wraps up the series, and explains the mother’s secret keepsakes that have been hidden for many years in her hope chest. She finally tells her daughters about her past tragedies, and they understand why she was so empathetic to their own problems. It nicely ties up the series, but it almost seem anti-climatic as readers who have read the previous books will have guessed at the outcome. Still, the series is a good one, and recommended for those who enjoy Amish stories. ( )

The Amish Heirloom series comes full circle with Mamm’s story and the secret hidden for years in the cherished hope chest. Mamm is a very strong individual in character and faith who carried a weight only her husband and God knows about. As we learn more about Mamm’s secret we also learn how strong God’s love can be.

This story for me was truly the best in the series. Maybe because it was Mamm’s story, maybe it is because I am of her generation, or maybe it was the depth of emotions portrayed by all of the characters, I am not sure. However, The Beloved Hope Chest grabbed my heart, held on tight, and didn’t even let go well after the story ended. What a fabulous conclusion to a fantastic series.

I received a complimentary copy (or ARC) of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to write a review, and all options expressed in this review are completely my own. ( )

I've been waiting for Mattie's story since the beginning of this series, since hints kept coming during her daughter's stories and I became more and more intrigued. This is the best of the series (which is saying a lot) and I am so sorry to see it end, although it has been a wonderful, hopeful ride. There is a lot of angst and emotion, but without that, the joy wouldn't be as intense when everything works out for the best, with Mattie and Leroy's family as living proof. ( )

Loved this story. This is the fourth book in the Amish Heirloom series. The first three books are about Mattie Fisher's three daughters and their courtships and marriages. This book is how Mattie fell in love with her husband and almost left him. You do not need to read the first three books to so enjoy this story. This is more of a prequel to the others of the series. Everyone in this story learns mantra lessons. I laughed and cried throughout this book. I received a copy of this book from Celebratelit for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

Title: The Beloved Hope Chest (An Amish Heirloom Novel #4)
Author: Amy Clipston
Pages: 320
Year: 2017
Publisher: Zondervan
My rating 5 out of 5 stars!
The end. Those words are the hardest to read in this series as I have really enjoyed the characters and each one’s tale woven with heart and faith. The first three books in the series are The Forgotten Recipe, The Courtship Basket and The Cherished Quilt. In each book, the focus is on a daughter of Leroy and Mattie Fisher with a snippet of the parents’ past that none of the daughters knows. For years Mattie has been able to keep the past in the past, but now she knows it is time to tell her story to her daughters as they are grown women.
I found Mattie’s story really compelling, especially the fact that Leroy though tempted to give up on Mattie many times, pursued her with such a deep love. While he does give her time without any contact from him, what it shows Mattie is how much she does truly love Leroy. The tale shows too how grief has no time limit and much grace with patience needs to be extended to someone who is walking through the valley even though they wish they could be someplace else.
Amy Clipston writes stories of faith, heart and realistic characters which makes readers able to connect with them and keep reading for a long time. I am an eclectic reader for the most part and am always on the lookout for authors who love to tell a compelling story with heart and this author excels at doing just that and more! So, if you have never read her books before, this is a great series to begin with. Beware though as once you start you’ll never want to miss another book again!
