About the book:
Lovina Miller
should be thrilled. Pinecraft, Florida, has everything a young Amish woman
could ask for: sun, sand, volleyball games, and evening singings in the park.
But Pinecraft lacks the one thing Lovina desperately wants – a pie shop of her
own. She longs for a place to gather with the community and serve the treat she
loves.
A young carpenter
named Noah Yoder strolls into her life and offers a way to make her dream come
true. But before Noah and Lovina can build a shop – and a life – together, they
must each face heartaches from the past. Is their new love stronger than their
regrets?

My review:
This is a very
sweet Amish novel!
I really enjoyed
meeting Lovina Miller, Noah Yoder and all of the rest of the characters in this
book. Both Lovina and Noah are incredibly well developed and they each have
many layers to their personalities. Lovina seemed to be a very simple and easy
to understand woman at the beginning. Later in the book though, we are shown
some memories of comments that wounded her many years ago, that have still been
affecting her. Noah, on the other hand, in introduced along with a glimpse into
his past and the baggage that he carries from it, from very early on in the
story. More details about it are slowly revealed throughout the story though.
I am already
looking forward to the other books that will be written in this series. There
are so many secondary characters, including Lovina’s four sisters that I would
like to see a story with them in the spotlight. They have so much potential for
development.
There were a
number of subjects that were explored as Lovina, Noah, and others learned more
about God. Some of them include: second chances, God’s love and acceptance, and
trusting God. I feel that this book not only entertained me but it also
challenged me to grow in my own relationship with God.
Added on to the
end of each chapter is a wonderful recipe for something that was eaten during
that chapter. If I wasn’t concerned about all the calories I would be tempted
to try a number of them.
