Lovina moved to Pinecraft with her family because the air would help her father’s lung and breathing issues. But the area is so full of women, that Lovina’s mother has almost given up hope that her daughters will find a respectful eligible bachelor – but that’s OK with Lovina. She isn’t all that interested in finding a husband – she wants to open a pie shop.
There are several people in the community touched by Lovina’s dream. Lovina, her mother, the handsome Noah Yoder, a reporter. I would even say that the whole community learned a lesson on determination, following God’s will, and not judging others by watching this strong young woman. I really loved how she stuck to her Amish beliefs and found a way to work them into the world around her. Never compromising on the important issues, but also willing to listen to what others had to say.
But, on to the romance. Noah isn’t what most in the community would call an ideal candidate for a husband. Having caused some major trouble a few years back when he was younger, many in the community seem to shun him. Noah is trying so hard to find a place for himself and the teenagers (also having gotten into trouble) that he brought with him. He wants to teach them a skill and show them how wonderful the Amish community can be.
Made with Love was a really great story – and I loved that it was a lot different than most of the traditional Amish romances I’ve read. I’ve added the rest of the series to my TBR, and they sound amazing!
