After losing her fiance in a tragic accident, Veronica Fisher finds solace in the old recipes stored in her mother s hope chest and in a special visitor who comes to her bake stand to purchase her old fashioned raspberry pies.

Seth Lapp is kind, hardworking, and handsome but most importantly, he loves his fiancee, Veronica Fisher. As for Veronica, she knows how lucky she is to be marrying her best friend.

When an accident on the job steals Seth away from her, a heartbroken Veronica is certain she will never love (or be loved) again. Yet when she discovers a batch of forgotten recipes and opens a bake stand to sell her Mammi s raspberry pies, Veronica picks up a regular customer who gives her heart pause . . . despite her best efforts.

Jason Huyard was with Seth when he lost his life a memory that haunts him still. So when he seeks out the grieving fiancee to convey his condolences, the last thing he expects or wants is to fall in love. Nonetheless, Jason soon finds himself visiting Veronica s bake stand every week . . . and it s for more than the raspberry pies.

Now, as Veronica s heart thaws, Jason can t bring himself to tell her he was there when Seth died. Can he ever reveal where he was on the day her life derailed? Or will his secret rob them of the second chance at love they both want?"

Amy Clipston has brought her fans yet another captivating, fun ride. I truly enjoyed reading this start to her Amish Heirloom series. Her words, her characters, her story line all combine to create a read you won't be able to put down! I know I couldn't, as I read it in a day!

I loved Veronica and Jason's characters. Both went through something emotional and tragic, and both had a fear in their heart. Watching them together, feeling like I was right there in the middle of Amish country with them, was so fun. Each page turn brought something to the book and kept me hooked the whole time.

I definitely recommend this book by the amazingly talented Amy Clipston. She knows just what her readers want and delivers. This story is filled with God's grace and love, and characters that will steal your heart. But, be warned! Ms. Clipston's 5 star worthy work is absolutely addictive and will leave you hungry for more. I can't wait to read book 2! This review was originally posted on Cafinated Reads
