Amish
Starting From Scratch
Lancaster Discoveries book 2
by Kate Lloyd
-From Amazon- An Old Flame Brings a Spark of New Hope En Alt Maedel—an old maid. At age twenty-nine, that's what Eva Lapp considers herself. And who could argue with her? Finding a good Amish husband at her age will be next to impossible. Plus, Eva's unwarranted bad reputation in Lancaster County precedes her. Maybe living the Englisch life would be better. Squeezed out of her childhood home by her brother's boisterous family, Eva finds lodging and a new job managing a small café at a local plant nursery. But the challenge of her new position isn't enough to distract from her current predicament. To Eva's surprise, her first love, Jake Miller, suddenly returns to Lancaster County. Flooded with emotions and filled with questions about Jake's past, can Eva trust what she's feeling? Jake and Eva face many obstacles in their quest for a fresh start in the community, but perhaps with God's help, they can find the redemption they both desperately need.

To be honest it had been quite awhile since the last time I read a Kate Lloyd book but Starting From Scratch sounded like a pretty good book. And I must say that I was pleasantly, surprised isn't quite the word but it's close enough I suppose, to find that it really was, indeed, a step above the average Amish novel.
In many ways this book was a coming-of-age story, despite the heroine's actual age, with romance and even a dash of danger and mystery. At first, Eva is a bit naive and fearful but with the help of some unexpected friends she begins shine.
If Amish is your favorite genre or if you just want to try it out Kate Lloyd's books, especially this series, would be a great choice.
