In the final installment of Amy Clipston’s bestselling Amish Marketplace series, a young widow struggling to raise her son dreams of one more chance at love.
Since her husband died seven years ago, Leanna Wengerd has done her best—tending to her son, Chester, and running her Jam and Jelly Nook at the Amish market. Though she enjoys seeing her cousins and customers at the marketplace, she wishes she could find more time for her rebellious teenage boy.
When Chester gets into trouble for trespassing, he winds up at the police station with his friend Maggie, who was riding with him to a youth group gathering. Leanna comes to the police station to fetch Chester and happens to meet Emory, Maggie’s father. Emory is also a widower, raising Maggie alone—and both he and Leanna have similar burdens and problems.
Over time Emory and Leanna become closer friends, discovering how much they have in common. As single parents, they struggle with the limits of what they can provide for their children and feel somewhat responsible for what happened to their respective spouses. The two eventually realize they have feelings for each other—but when they try to date, their children resist. Will God pave a way for them to build a family together, or will hurdles block the path to a second chance at happiness?

My Review
This book is a visit with old friends, those that I have come to know
and love from previous books, and as they move on with their lives we
are updated! This is cousin Leanna's story, and her journey along with
her son Chester, a young man that is sewing his wild oats, and unsure of
where he should plant his feet. Chester is the catalyst to a meeting
with widower Emory, and a change in both of their lives.
We are there as Leanna embraces and helps Emory's daughter Maggie, and we watch as Emory begins a new relationship.
This is the fourth and final book in this series, and I will miss the updates, but loved the epilogue, what a great ending!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Zondervan, and was not required to give a positive review.
