Publisher Description
Three young friends enter the most important season of their lives. But relationships have changed, and only time will tell if Lindsay, Katie, and Lizzie Anne have made the right choices.
Three young women are about to change their lives: Lizzie Anne and Samuel have decided to get married, and Lindsay is about to be baptized into the Amish faith and is being courted by Matthew. While Katie Kauffman is happy for her friends who seem to have settled their futures, she is also finding herself something of a fifth wheel.
When Lindsay’s sister Jessica returns to Bird-in-Hand, she finds that Jake Miller has moved on with his life. He lost hope that Jessica would ever be satisfied to settle in rural Pennsylvania and takes comfort in becoming close friends with Katie. However, it’s not an easy road as Jake is Mennonite and Katie has just been baptized. Her father forbids them to see each other, adamant that his daughter marry an Amish man.
Take a trip to Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, where you’ll meet the delightful women of the Kauffman Amish Bakery in Lancaster County. As each woman’s story unfolds, you will share in her joys, dreams . . . and secrets. You’ll discover the simplicity of the Amish lifestyle and, most importantly, you will be encouraged by the hope and faith of these women, and the importance they place on their families.

"I loved this book!!! I felt bad for Katie Kauffman. She was in love with Jake Yoder a mennonite. Jake's grandparents were Amish but his mom left the amish & joined the mennonite. Jake loves to do carpenter work. Katie is forbidden to even talk to jake by her father. Jake realizes he only will have friendship with Jessica Bedford Lindsay's sister. He pray often & then talks to his grandfather & grandmother ( Elmer & Malinda)how he feels about becoming Amish. Jake talks to Bishop Abner Chupp & Bishop Gideon Swartzendruber (this is district he would become Amish in) they agree to let Jake take classes in the spring. Jake confront Robert & Sadie Kauffman along with Bishop Chupp. The truth is told that Katie was attacked by 3 bad men & Jake was only helping her. Jake tells Katie he will become Amish & when he does they will marry!!! Katie is so happy becuase she loves jake very much, too!!! Rebecca Kauffman is on bedrest due to being forty & high risk pregancy. Daniel makes sure she rests. She has a baby girl at Christmas time & named here Grace Mathew asks Lindsay to be his girl friend. She says yes!!! He gives her a hope chest that was his mother's, but he refinshed. Heasks her how many bedrooms she wants in her house eventually she tells him 5, but will settle with 3. He is given proerty & the house would be built before they marry.

" I really enjoyed this book. I really liked reading this series and I was sad to see it end. This book was about Lindsey a girl who was not raised in the Amish faith but decided to join. She put all her faith in God to make her decision. I would recommend this book to any one. "

" I can't believe this is the last book in the series, because it left you hanging for more. I would like to hear more out of Jessica does she ever find a place to belong. I would also like to hear about some of the other people that were introduced in this series but were dropped. "

" I really enjoy this series but I'm getting a bit tired of "looping", "loping" and "I'm well." "

" Really enjoyed reading this:P "
— Lizziepeps, 6/29/2012 -
" Although I liked this book; I'm sad to see the series go. Even though this book is the end I feel like it ended with out any closure. A sixth book would of been great; just to read about Lindsay's wedding, Jake's progress with Amish life, Jessica's future etc. "
