A Heart on Consignment (The Heart of the Amish) by Mindy Steele

 

Despite knowing her parents are getting desperate for their only child to marry and give them grandchildren, Salina Stoltzfus is weary of seeking the perfect match. Every time she thinks she has found “the one,” he marries another.
 
The best way to forget you are the last woman any man in Havenlee, Indiana, wants to hitch his buggy too is to find something passionate to focus on. When the area is overrun with donations after a tragic storm, Salina suggests opening a consignment shop. The deacon supports the idea and offers his visiting nephew to help set things up.
 
After the embarrassment of having his fiancée call off their wedding, Seth Weaver takes his mother’s advice to leave Kentucky to stay with his uncle for a while. Unfortunately, Seth knows nothing about building furniture in his uncle’s factory, which is the only reason he agrees to help ready the consignment shop next door—not because of the little chatterbox working inside.
 
When Salina’s parents are caught meddling in her love life, she comes up with a crazy idea that might gain her some time and space. Could it be the road to happiness is paved with good intentions and epic fails—until we cross paths when the one made especially for us?

My Review


This was such a great read to get lost in. An Amish romance? Yes, a young man has traveled to Indiana from his home Kentucky, and is staying with his Aunt and Uncle, after ending a romance. Here he meets a young woman with a mother that is intent to marry her off, but wants to keep her local.
Here are two mismatched people, a broken heart, and a girl who thinks she is to short, and not attractive, or so they think.
Devastation happens here, in more than one area, and these believers do what they should to help the less fortunate, and there are always someone worse off than you are. Until, it does hit close to home.
There are a lot of obstacles in life, and we are there when plenty of them show up.
You will be page turning for answers here, and when the last page was turned, I wanted more!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
