The first book in Amy Clipston’s beloved Amish Heirloom series—and an ECPA bestseller!“Amish fiction fans will enjoy this story—and want a taste of Veronica’s raspberry pie!” —Publishers WeeklyAfter losing her fiancé in a tragic accident, Veronica Fisher finds solace in the old recipes stored in her mother’s hope chest—and in a special visitor who comes to her bake stand to purchase her … special visitor who comes to her bake stand to purchase her old-fashioned raspberry pies.
Veronica Fisher knows how lucky she is to be marrying her best friend. Seth Lapp is kind, hardworking, and handsome—but most importantly, he loves Veronica.
When an accident on the job steals Seth away from her, a heartbroken Veronica is certain she will never love—or be loved—again. Yet when she discovers a batch of forgotten recipes and opens a bake stand to sell her Mammi’s raspberry pies, Veronica picks up a regular customer who gives her heart pause.
Jason Huyard was with Seth when he lost his life—a memory that haunts him still. So when he seeks out the grieving fiancée to convey his condolences, the last thing he expects—or wants—is to fall in love. Nonetheless, Jason soon finds himself visiting Veronica’s bake stand every week . . . and it’s for more than the raspberry pies.
Now, as Veronica’s heart thaws, Jason can’t bring himself to tell her he was there when Seth died. Can he ever reveal where he was on the day her life derailed? Or will his secret rob them of the second chance at love they both want?

Really enjoyed the reality of story, and background of the character’s lives. Family helping each other, as well as community caring for its members
‘I love recipes especially old ones.this book keeper me interested and couldn’t quit reading.
A lovely story using the imagination and creativity of a young woman to help others even outside of her community.
Realist view of how some react after a tragedy. The sense of loss, the guilt, the ‘what if’s’. Family strength is important.
I like the Amish books
I love Amish stories!
I thought this was an awesome read. Loved the characters and how they crossed over each other. Light yet strong. Wasn’t to sure how it would end but I sure approved.
Loved it.
Kind of slow at spots. Repeated things several times. Was ok read but I skipped a couple of times because was saying the same stuff.
This was a very good book to read.

Always learn something from Amish novels. Love their psychology, ethics and lifestyle.

Ive loved every book by this author i can get my hands on. What a treat. Edge of your seat feeling like the charecters sre part of your life
When I go to look for a new series for Amish. I looked for my favorite authors. I do go to others I have not read about that I will expand to enjoy. I know when I see a book written by Amy Clipston. I really enjoy any kind of Amish or Mennonite stories. I love learning about their lifestyles.
Veronica Fisher finds out that her intended died. She was divested and thinks she will not find love again. Well, she decides she’d need to find something to do and when she goes decides to go look in the attic. When she does, she finds something of her grandmothers. This start up her own kind of business.
Are you into Amish lifestyle? Then this would be a good book to read or even try.
It was an enjoyable read, but very predictable. Overall, it still provided a nice escape on a quarantined time of being stuck at home. I found it to be light hearted and it kept my mood more upbeat so I will follow the author and read more of her books
Great series. I recommend reading them all!!
