Abraham

Jennifer Beckstrand writes Amish Fiction with a touch of mischief and shenanigans, but that is easy to do when your best supporting characters are nine-year-old twins.

Alfie and Benji are sure that their mamm is trying to kill them by relegating them to the cellar since Mammi and Dawdi moved in after Dawdi's stroke. The only way they are going to get a bedroom upstairs is to get their older brothers married.  The one in their cupid's arrow's aim is Abraham.  He is the quiestest brother and the shyest.  But, Alfie and Benji have a trick up their sleeve to get Abraham married--their neighbor's chickens. Abraham doesn't think he has a chance with Emma, even though he knows quite a bit about her chickens.  The road to true love is rocky for Abraham and Emma, but gets smoother once Emma gets her head on straight, and stops seeking attention from all the boys instead of being true to Abraham, the man who truly fits her.

This is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a matched pair of Silkies chickens.

I would like to thank Kensington books and NetGalley.com for providing the galley for me to read and review.
