Ruth’s
Ginger Snap Surprise is the first
book I have read by author Anne Blackburne. I found this book very enjoyable. It was a nice change of pace and filled with some
likeable characters.
Ruth Helmuth has
been a widow for a year and is childless.
She lives on a property that has been a part of her family for many
years. She is hard working, industrious,
and provides for herself by raising goats, using their fiber and milk to earn
income. That is why Ruth was taken aback
by the proposal from Bishop Troyer that she sell her family’s farm to someone
who he deems more deserving. Ruth knows of
widower Jonas Hershberger and his young daughter Abigail. But it is not until he has a business
proposition to use the upstairs of Ruth’s large barn for his basket weaving
business that they get to know one another. Will their business relationship develop into
something more?
The main characters
in this book, Ruth, Jonas, and Abigail, as well as their friends are pleasant,
kind, and caring. They are very
supportive of one another. The only
exception is Bishop Troyer and his rude granddaughter Evelyn. It seemed like
the bishop was not very discerning and has turned a blind eye to his ill-behaved
granddaughter.
I enjoyed reading Ruth’s
Ginger Snap Surprise and felt like I was stepping into a different
world. A slower pace of life and with nice
characters, the kind of people I would like to know. Faith is a part of the storyline.
If you enjoy Amish
fiction with a little romance, I recommend reading Ruth’s Ginger Snap
Surprise by Anne Blackburne.
This is the second book in the Heart of the Amish series. This book is an enjoyable read with likeable
characters. I look forward to reading
more books by this author.
I would like to
thank Barbour Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a
complimentary copy of Ruth’s Ginger Snap Surprise by Anne Blackburne. I was under no obligation to give a favorable
review.
