Kauffman Amish Bakery

review 1: Miriam Lapp has left her Amish community due to a series of misunderstandings and made a new life for herself in Indiana with her cousin Abby. When her mother dies unexpectedly, Miriam returns home for the funeral and hopes to make peace with her family. After being rebuffed by her father and most of her siblings, Miriam is torn between wanting to stay and rebuild relationships and returning to her "English" life. Her choice is further complicated by her feelings for Timothy Kaufmann, her former fiancee as well as the joy she feels working in the bakery. I read this after Naomi's Christmas so I was a little confused at first but this can be read as a stand alone novel even if you haven't read any of the other Amish Bakery series. Amy Clipston writes better Amish novels tha... moren many of the others currently publishing in this genre. Her characters have more personality and emotions than in many other books. A quick light read.
review 2: This book starts out with Miriam in Indiana and living with her cousin. She get a phone call from her sister about the mother. She then rushes home to Lancaster. When she arrives there she and her cousin stay with their aunt on the back of her father property. Miriam is struggling to make amends with her father and also with Timothy. She finds out that her sister made lies for she was jealous of her older sister Miriam. Her father and the rest of the community blame her for the death of a child that died of SIDS.She arrives home for the funeral of her mother's death. Her father makes it clear she not welcome. She hears that her past boyfriend has moved on and is marrying another girl. Does Miriam find the peace is seeking and get her love of her future? find out by reading. I recommend this book. Though I suggest that your read the earlier books first for this book refer to them a bit. "A Gift of Grace", "A Promise of Hope" are the two book before this book. less
