Kensington Publishing puts out a lot of high quality Amish fiction that other publishers don't. And the stories are always fodder for a reader's sweet tooth. This collection is no different.
In the first novella, the sweet shop's owner played matchmaker between her son and a hired girl.
In the second, Sadie feels that she's really too ugly to be courted because of burns from a barn fire. While Valentine's Day is coming soon, little gifts start showing up on the back porch of the quilt shop where Sadie works. Sadie believes her friend and boss is putting the gifts on the stoop, but actually it's Adam who works next door who wants Sadie to take a second look at herself.
In the last novella, Hannah loses her husband in a construction accident, she finds out she's pregnant, the owners of the hardware store where she works want to sell the store, a stranger comes in who wants to buy it; but neither Hannah or the stranger have the total down-payment the owners want. The obstacle is the stranger is not Amish, but he was raised Amish and is now faced with the decision if he would actually take the kneeling vow and join the church.
This is a five star collection, two thumbs up, and a piece of melt in your mouth fudge.
My thanks to Kensington Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book.
