My Review:
This engaging story kept me smiling as I was reading. Astrid Kauffman isn’t your typical Amish woman—she writes Amish romance novels; her cooking skills need improvement; and she has no plans to be married. She’s perfectly content with her life with her twin brother, Jesse. Astrid’s only problem at the moment is that she’s struggling with the plot of her next book. So when a shy Amish widow shows up at her door and mistakenly thinks that Astrid is a matchmaker, Astrid decides to accept the challenge. She’s completely confident in her abilities to find a match for Imogene—until she meets Imogene’s young twins, Matthew and Mahlon. They have their own opinions of what should happen next and their opinions don’t line up with Astrid’s plans.
Astrid’s best plans go awry, and the author has given us a heart-warming story that made me laugh, sigh, and once again realize that God has a perfect plan for each of our lives.
I voluntarily received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
