A
Dash of Love, a Pinch of Hope, and a Whole Lot of Good Cooking
Lovina Miller should be thrilled. Pinecraft,
Florida, has everything a young Amish woman could ask for: sun, sand,
volleyball games, and evening singings in the park. But Pinecraft
lacks the one thing Lovina desperately wants—a pie shop of her own.
She longs for a place to gather with the community and serve the
treat she loves.
A young carpenter named Noah Yoder strolls into
her life and offers a way to make her dream come true. But before
Noah and Lovina can build a shop—and a life—together, they must
each face heartaches from the past. Is their new love stronger than
their regrets?
Nayu's thoughts
This book appealed to me because I adore food based shops/cafes which the
protagonist manages to set up and run despite a whole load of
trouble. In this case the trouble is the town gossip,which Lovina's
mother worries about, as well as some actual troublemakers as well as
a catastrophe near the end which had me worried how on earth Lovina's
dreams could be realised.
She is a sweet girl, hard working, who
tries to be respectful even when her own family seem to be against
her dreams. The way her sisters eventually rally round – and the
rest – made me cry, I love the family dynamics Lovina has, and it's frustrating how people are quick to judge and slow to give others a second chance. Definitely one for the
reread pile!
Suggested read
Another food related Amish read is Murder Freshly Brewed by Vannetta Chapman (Amish fiction, Christian fiction, 10E/10E, short 'n' sweet review)
