MY REVIEW:
I enjoyed reading this simple Amish fiction book. I enjoyed reading about the characters in Ellie’s hometown and her love for the bakery. I was reminded reading this story how different Amish lives are to Englishman. I grew up in an Amish community so I love reading about their lives and struggles and families.

I liked the underlining theme of forgiveness throughout the book. I haven’t read the previous book 1 in this series, but I still enjoyed the book and characters so I feel it can be read as a stand alone novel. I enjoyed reading it!

I received a copy of this ebook complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own
