The Jam and Jelly Nook

GIVEAWAY

CLIPSTON, AMY

THE JAM AND JELLY NOOK

Since her husband died, Leanna Wengerd has done her best -- raising her son, Chester, and running her Jam and Jelly Nook at the Amish market. When Chester gets into trouble for trespassing, he winds up at the police station with his friend Maggie. Leanna comes to the police station to fetch Chester and meets Emory, Maggie's other. Emory is also a widower, raising Maggie alone. Over time, Emory and Leanna become closer friends. The two have feelings for each other -- but when they try to date, their children resist. Will God pave a way for them to build a family together, or will hurdles block the path to a second chance at happiness?

My Review:

This has been a great series and this Amish Marketplace novel caps it off nicely. There's lots of glimpses into the other heroes and heroines' happily-ever-afters as Leanna and Emory strive to find their own. Their meet-cute is kinda funny -- can't say I've read an Amish novel where the couple meet in the police staton! And that first encounter really shows what an upstanding man, Emory is. Have to say I was intrigued before Leanna! :-)

This is a gentle love story that grows out of a friendship bonded by mutual loss. It's been years for both Leanna and Emory and yet they've never felt the need to look beyond their single solitude...until that fateful midnight meeting! The addition of two less than enthusiastic and polar-opposite teens makes the possibility of romance that much more tentative. And, of course, there's plenty of opinionated family members around to add a little chaos and misdirection to the mix. :-) 

A lovely, faith-infused look at loss and grief and the hope of second chances.
