A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill

Annie and Felty Helmuth are at it again.  Now their granddaughter, Elsie, is living with them and teaching at the Bonduel school.  They want her to meet Sam Sensenig because they know he's the man for her.  What they don't know is that Elsie and Sam have already met and it wasn't the kind of meeting that left lasting good impressions.

Jennifer Beckstrand writes such sassy Amish fiction, with not your normal Amish women, and not your normal Amish families.  Elsie is known for speaking her mind.  Sam is overprotective of his brother.  Annie and Felty are still their same old selves--Annie meddling and Felty sitting back and watching. 

A curve in the path to true love is Rose, who lives next door to Sam, and tries everything in her bag of tricks to get Elsie fired as the teacher so that Sam will pay attention to her, along with bringing some kind of treat nearly every night. 

I have always enjoyed reading Jennifer's books and this is no different.  Jennifer always writes five star books, with two thumbs up, and a homemade dinner.

My thanks to Penguin/Random House for allowing me to read this book.
