All He’ll Ever Need is an Amish Romance novella by author Loree Lough. It is book one of A Little Child Shall Lead Them series.
The Englishers had formed a stereotypical belief about Gabriel Baker and his dad Philip, New Order Amish. It was commonly thought that the Amish were more concerned about their livestock than their children.
Little four-year-old Gabe needed medical attention, but without insurance, his dad wondered how he would pay for it. Truth be known, Philip had recently become a widower when he had to bury his young wife and he didn’t want to lose Gabe, too.
I learned about a rare medical condition known as the Brugada Syndrome. It’s a condition that causes a disruption of the heart’s normal rhythm causing irregular heartbeats (ventricular arrhythmia). It’s so rare only 5 in 10,000 people have it.
I felt invested in each of the characters, especially Dr. Emily White because of her care for little Gabe. I recommend this series to fans of the Amish.

In this lovely story by Loree Lough, Phillip Baker is a widower and his son Gabe has been diagnosed with a serious illness. Phillip would do anything for Gabe, He has already suffered unimaginable loss, his wife, father and brother, so losing Gabe would be something far too painful for Phillip. Meanwhile although Amish, he is part of a new order, stretching his Amish beliefs to the limit.
Phillip takes Gabe in for treatment and that is how he meets Dr. Emily White. She falls for Gabe immediately and does whatever she can to help him get well. Not only does Emily care for Gabe, she begins to develop tender feelings towards Phillip. Although Phillip is far more modern than some Amish men, their differences seem insurmountable, especially after Phillip begins to feel much the same way as Emily. First and foremost, Gabe's needs and future must be met. Surgery is definitely on the table, and if successful, this would net Gabe a lot of vitality and a long life.
What a touching story. Not only do we have excellent drama flowing through the pages, but we also have an unlikely romance, family issues and faith that are strong parts of this story. I loved reading this first book in a new series, as well as the second book, Home to Stay.
This touching story kept me very interesting, making this a one-sitting read. While Loree Lough is a new author to me, especially when it comes to meeting New World Amish, I can definitely say that I enjoy her writing style and story delivery.
