A read as cozy as an Amish quilt you can snuggle up with and float away into the story.
Clara Bender doesn’t know what to do with herself when her father remarries and she isn’t needed to take care of the house anymore. Her small Amish community doesn’t provide many options for marriage, so she sets off to visit her mother’s aunt in Lancaster County’s Hickory Hollow. When Clara arrives, her aunt Ella Mae feels it is an answer to a prayer after her own children have left and she is trying to move on with her own life. She now helps Clara meet the area’s eligible young men and might end up finding love herself.
Beverly Lewis takes readers back to some of her earlier characters from past reads and anyone who has read her books will enjoy this one. Amish fiction is written for a specific group of readers and those that pick these up will fall into a world that is more primitive and so different from what is normal everyday life for most of us. The amount of time that Lewis obviously spent crafting the plot and love story made the book so easy to read and the characters act naturally. This book has nothing that would be unacceptable for the Christian fiction audience. I recommend this book to readers that enjoy books by Beverly Lewis and Amish fiction in general.
