The Farm Stand

Amy Clipston has put out her second Amish Marketplace book and it shines like her other Amish books.  In this Marketplace book, Salina is stocking her stall in the market with the produce from her garden.  Will has the restaurant across the road and has started buying his produce from Salina's stall and then started calling her on Tuesdays to place an order for delivery on Wednesdays. 

In the meantime,  Salina's parents are pushing her to marry Josiah, a friend she's known since her school days.  She has wanted to chart her own course since she was small, and grew up in the shadow of her older brother. 

There are sparks flying between Salina and Will and Salina is confused at the lack of sparks between Josiah and her. 

This is a book about the need for communication and honesty in relationships.  It's a rather angst-y book but that makes it all the more compelling.  I was tempted to read the end before I finished it, but I held off and read it through. 

Five stars, two thumbs up, and a freshly grown salad.
