Review of “The Amish Sweet Shop” A collection of stories by various authors

Book Description from Book Bub:

“It’s almost Valentine’s Day, the busiest time of the year at Beechy’s Sweets, where the Amish gifts of love and faith are even sweeter than the home-made candy.”

THE SWEETEST COURTSHIP National Bestselling Author Emma Miller

At age thirty-six, Jacob Beechy is a rarity—a master candy maker, and a bachelor. His mother, however, still hopes for grandchildren. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, she convinces Jacob he will need extra help in the shop and interviews a string of applicants—for his 

future wife . . . 

THE SWEETEST TRUTH  National Bestselling Author Laura Bradford

Sadie Fischer has accepted that she will never marry. Her scars from a barn fire are a daily reminder of why. So when she receives mysterious gifts leading up to Valentine’s Day, including chocolate from Beechy’s, she’s bewildered—yet curious. Sadie may not think she’s pretty, but there’s a young man who sees only sweetness when he looks at her . . .

NOTHING TASTES SO SWEET Award-Winning Author Mary Ellis

Pregnant and suddenly widowed, Hannah must give up the dreams she once had. But when she learns that her longtime English employer plans to sell his hardware store, she’s determined to buy it. She doesn’t realize that will mean following a clue from Beechy’s to clear a man’s name—and finding a partnership in work, faith, and love.”

My Review:

To play off the title of this book—these are three very”sweet” stories!  I thoroughly enjoyed every story in this book.  I loved the characters and the small town setting of Bluebird.  These  are well written, clean, heartwarming stories.  Each has a theme of faith and hope after a tragedy.  I loved reading each story, but my favorite character was Sadie in the story “The Sweetest Truth”. These stories are just the right length for those times you want something lighter to read. I even found a new author to follow.  This is a great collection, and I’m highly recommending it.
