Embark on a journey through Amish countryside in this uplifting romance by Jo Ann Brown, part of the Green Mountain Blessings series. Patching hearts wasn’t the plan… But this father and daughter needed her help. Overseeing kitchen volunteers while the community rebuilds after a flood, Abby Kauffman doesn’t expect to get in between Englischer David Riehl and the orphaned teenager he’s … teenager he’s raising. But Abby can tell David is struggling, and she’s determined to help him bond with the girl. Might Abby be the missing ingredient to bring this makeshift family together for Easter?

I love the Green Mountain series. This one leads us through the lives of David,Mikayla,and Abby. David and Mikayla become an instant family when David’s best friend (Mikayla’s dad) was killed in an accident. We watch the inner struggles of David and Mikayla while trying to understand one another. Abby is an Amish volunteer trying to assist with the rebuilding after the flood whom all the kids but especially Mikayla have become close to. Abby tries to help David build his relationship with Mikayla by helping them both see inside each other’s hearts. Will Abby be what this small family needs to heal?
We are back in the Green Mountains and with the people volunteering to build new homes for those who lost them in the floods.
This story focuses on Abby Kauffman and David Riehl, now doesn’t that name sound Amish, and a young teen orphan who has become David’s new daughter.
I loved that this story shows the goodness to help fellow men, and we see it in many ways, we also meet a bunch of bullies, some teenagers, an others grown adults. Also we try to find solutions the the guilt some of these individuals are holding on to.
There is a bit of romance here, how these two are able to come together is a road full of rubble and road blocks.
A quick read, and a book to get lost in.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Love Inspired, and was not required to give a positive review.
A touching tale of love, forgiveness, overcoming obstacles and helping others.
I love the efforts that the community is doing in this series after the natural disaster demolished the town. Abby is a character that caught my eye in the previous book of the series just because her character is so appealing, she is a strong leader, she is organized, structured, kind, considerate, loyal, her goal in life is to help others, and she is always looking for the little ways she can make others lives a bit easier. What a role model to have for us all.
David has a lot of the same characteristics that Abby has, yet he is ridden by the guilt of survival, and the secrets his family holds.
The efforts David and Abby are making to help the teenagers, to stop the bullying, to help the community, and the elderly are commendable, another great illustration of leading by example.
An uplifting, inspiring, and entertaining tale of the Amish and englischer working together to help the community.

This was a very good book. Great story line. Nice clean reading.
Where is Abby Kauffman from? Where do we find her? How does David meet her? Why does David seem at war with getting to know Abby and hating her? I like Mikayla! I did not like Hunter and his group for a while, until I learned something surprising! David’s parents were a surprise as well! This was another great book on the rebuilding of the Vermont town. I look forward to more!
