Reviews

This is the third book in the Kauffman Amish Bakery series. Readers who havent read the previous two books may be confused as characters histories are not really explained. The love between Timothy and Miriam is apparent from the first time they see each other again. The author adheres to the old Plain traditions, both in relationships and the way of life for the Amish community. This is an entertaining story of Amish life, loss, love and family. * RT Book Reviews, 4-star review *
