Publisher Description
Visit Amish Country during the fall as Lydia King attempts to make Charm, Ohio, feel like home after losing her husband. But is her heart ready to open back up to love when gifts appear on her porch from a mystery source? Could it be from the widowed father of four energetic boys, or is it from the man who has rejected romance to be his family’s caregiver? Find the answers in this signature edition of a beloved title from a New York Times bestselling author that includes history of the Amish of Charm, recipes, photos, and a bookmark.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The newest from Amish specialist Brunstetter (Indiana Cousins series) centers on the choices faced by Lydia King, a young widow with a four-year-old son who moves to the town of Charm, OH, to join her mother, Mae Weaver, who has been made disagreeable by the demands of caring for her own ailing father. Lydia catches the eye of Menno Troyer, a widower with four undisciplined sons plainly in need of a new mother, and also Levi Stutzman, a man who comes from a family of "little people" dwarves. Levi is fearful that any children he might have would also be dwarf, but Lydia looks mighty gut (good) to him. Brunstetter is not a master of characterization or imaginative at plotting characters break limbs, get sick, or have accidents with regularity in order to complicate the narrative. And the children are all a little too consistently hungerich (hungry), even if this is an Amish novel featuring chow and chow-chow. Likely none of these storytelling flaws will matter to hardcore Amish fans. Beverly Lewis, however, works better with the same material.
