The Amish Candy Maker

A letter brings him to Mackinac County. Can one woman make him stay?

Agnes Zook has found herself on her own in a small Amish community in Mackinac County after a tragedy took the life of her parents and siblings. Most of the Amish call her “off in den Kopf” (strange) since she’s starting her own business and forging her own way in the community instead of relying on the bishop to take care of her. Since she’s viewed as non-submissive and too-forward for an Amish woman she’s not courted by other young men in the area.

Isaac Mast is on the verge of leaving the Amish church. He’s become a sought-after Auctioneer and has a thriving business, but he feels confined by the strict rules. When his brother is severely injured in a wild fire, Isaac receives a letter from his sister-in-law, begging him to come to Mackinac County to help out while his brother is hospitalized for skin grafts and his wife is with him. They have young children that can’t be left alone. Isaac agrees but is unsure how to manage the children when he has weekend auctions he’s expected to attend. Agnes may be an answer to prayer.

When Isaac and Agnes meet, sparks fly, but everything changes. While neither of them fit within the structures of the Amish faith, could their differences be the one thing that helps them form a deeper connection to their faith . . . and each other?
 
The Amish Candy Maker by Laura V. Hilton is an intriguing plot that captures the reader's attention from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the very end. A must read that will find a permanent spot on your book shelf.

Firestorm  

After a stalker breaks into their home, Bridget Behr and her family migrate from the bustling Amish community where she grew up in Ohio to the sparsely populated Upper Peninsula of Michigan. While her father and brother try to find work in Michigan, the family is forced to reside in a borrowed RV until the house and barn are rebuilt. While Bridget is hoping for a fresh start, she’s afraid to trust anyone—even Gabriel, the overly-friendly Amish man who lives nearby. Bridget thinks he’s a flirt who serial dates and doesn’t even remember the girls’ names.

Due to a lack of construction jobs in his Florida community to keep Gabriel Lapp out of trouble, he has been sent to Michigan to work. His father is desperate for his son to settle down. When the Behr family walks into Gabe’s home in the middle of a thunderstorm, he learns of their circumstances and offers to help them rebuild. For Gabe, the beautiful Bridget he teasingly calls “the recluse,” after he discovers she doesn’t attend youth events, confuses him like none other.
 
                                                                                                                           

As Gabriel and Bridget grow closer, they realize there is more to a person than meets the eye. Just as Bridget is finally settling into her new life, and perhaps finding love, tragedy strikes. Now Bridget and her family must decide if they should move to another Amish community, or dare to fight for the future they’d hoped for in Mackinac County.

Firestorm by Laura V. Hilton is an artfully crafted novel with well-developed characters, a unique story-line and theme, with twists and turns to make it a page-turner.
