"In the third book of the Kauffman Amish Bakery series Miriam Lapp returned to the community after four years of being away. When she left she left a fiance and many angry members behind. She never moved on from Timothy Kauffman and neither did he. I really liked this book. It was one that I couldn't put down. I wanted to see if Timothy and Miriam would get a second chance at love."

" It is unfortunate that time was wasted all because of jealously, but as God always has in His plan, things work out according to His plan. Good reads! "

" This is by the far the slowest Kaufmann Amish Bakery series book. Overall is was a quick, easy read, enjoyable although a little predictable. "
— Joann10, 1/30/2014 -
" I've been sucked into many of the Amish fiction books after being fascinated by the culture. I liked the first in this series but was disappointed in this one. To much back and forth, over the same situation with a predicable outcome. "
— Jeni, 1/24/2014 -
" Lots of misunderstandings in this novel and the ending exchange between Miriam and Timothy felt forced. Predictable happy ending. Plus is that family trees were included at the front and I referred to them more than once. "

" Excellent bok and a very enjoyable series "
— Marg, 1/20/2014 -
" Easy read, a little predictible "
— Brandi, 1/9/2014 -
" This book gives you hope. Can all your pain, emotional stress and unhappiness turn around. If you believe hard enough, can all this and more be corrected. Makes you believe the impossible can happen ... Sometimes. Great book to bring some tears and a smile in your heart. "
— Wanda, 12/29/2013 -
" While I enjoy this series, this particular one got a little long - so I skipped the middle to the last 3 chapters. I'm pretty sure this had more to do with me than the plot. Jumping to conclusions and assuming you know what the other person is thinking gets really old after 50 pages or so. "
— Judy, 12/3/2013 -
" I have really enjoyed Amy Clipston's series. "
— Jeni, 11/23/2013 -
" I love the struggle between faith and feeling incapable that is the main take-away from this book. "
— Devon, 9/17/2013 -
" This is book #3 of the Kauffman Amish Bakery Series. Each book in the series gets better and better right through all 5 books. I've read this entire series and I would definitely reread it again. "
— Judy, 9/1/2013 -
" Sweet story. The amount of misunderstandings seemed to pile up which mafe think enough already. But still pleasant read "
— Sandra, 6/11/2013 -
" So Amish with lots of pithy wisdom and Bible Verses. The book makes you take a deep breath and step back... Forgiveness is the key element in this book about the Amish Bakery. Forgiveness for your family and yourself.... "
— Marti, 5/19/2013 -
