Synopsis: After 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 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?
Review: I'm a big fan of this author, so I was thrilled to read this first book in her newest series. As usual, I was drawn in from the beginning and could barely put the book down until I finished reading it.
The characters are wonderful. They are all written with their flaws evident to the reader, which makes them even easier to love. The main characters, Jason and Veronica, are both grieving the loss of Seth, although Jason doesn't share his friendship with Seth when he meets Veronica and grows closer to her. The reader can practically feel his guilt over that omission, and over Seth's accident as the story continues--and can guess that the truth will come out eventually, and that it will cause a problem for the couple. The resolution of the conflict is handled very well, and is very satisfactory.
If you are a fan of Amish fiction, or of Amy Clipston, then this is a must read for you.
