really liked it
I enjoyed this book . I thought that the cover was very eye catching. Nine times out of ten it’s the cover of a book that causes me to read it. I liked the characters too. Let me introduce you to the main ones of the story.
Naomi Youder – A young Amish lady who hasn’t seen the man she loves for two long weeks. He hasn’t asked her to marry him yet and she wonders if he ever will. She even wonders if he loves her as much as she does him.
Ruthie Youder- Naomi Youder’s 18 year old sister. She is ready for her rumspringa and planning to head out into the English community to see how they live. She isn’t much help for Naomi when it comes to helping with the house cleaning and preparing meals. In fact
these sisters haven’t been getting along at all since their mother died about a year and a half ago.
Katie Troyer- Naomi Youder’s best friend, who has just announced she will be getting married in the fall. Naomi can’t help but feel jealous since she has no idea if the man she loves will ever ask her to marry him.
Seth Troyer- Katie Troyers brother. He’s always had a crush on Naomi. Of course she only thinks of him as a friend.
Annie Lap- Community gossip and trouble maker. Not above making up stories about other people and spreading lies about them . She has an eye for Jeremiah, Naomi’s boyfriend. In fact she would do what she could to break them up. She would stoop to anything to get his attention.
Jeremiah- has known Naomi Miller all of his life. Grew up together, attended school and singings and everyone thought of them as a couple. Jeremiah has been busy all summer and hasn’t spent much time with Naomi.
Silas – Jeremiah’s identical twin. He is attracted to Annie Lap , who doesn’t act as though she knows that he is alive, because she’s too busy chasing around after Jeremiah .
The main point of the story is that if you love someone never take them for granted. Let them know you love them before it’s too late. All readers of Amish Fiction would like this book. I’m glad I decided to read it and I hope that you will read it also.
Misunderstandings can cause many problems. The author wrote a fabulous storyline with some twists and turns that had to be worked out by the great characters. I enjoyed this book and definitely recommend for others to read The Celery Patch. This is Book One of the Amish Acres series. I’m looking forward to Book Two.
I purchased this book and I’m not required to review it. This review is one hundred percent my opinion.
It is a sweet story, but the plot is a bit too simple and predictable for my taste.
