Starting from Scratch
(Lancaster Discoveries series, Book 2)
An Old Flame Brings a Spark of New Hope
En Alt Maedel—an old maid.
At age twenty-nine, that’s what Eva Lapp considers herself. And who could argue with her? Finding a good Amish husband at her age will be next to impossible. Plus, Eva’s unwarranted bad reputation in Lancaster County precedes her. Maybe living the Englisch life would be better.
Squeezed out of her childhood home by her brother’s boisterous family, Eva finds lodging and a new job managing a small café at a local plant nursery. But the challenge of her new position isn’t enough to distract from her current predicament.
To Eva’s surprise, her first love, Jake Miller, suddenly returns to Lancaster County. Flooded with emotions and filled with questions about Jake’s past, can Eva trust what she’s feeling?
Jake and Eva face many obstacles in their quest for a fresh start in the community, but perhaps with God’s help, they can find the redemption they both desperately need.
My Thought
Kate Lloyd's most recent release Starting from Scratch is her second book in her Lancaster Discover Series I think is the best so far.
Lloyd sure takes you on an adventure with Eve, Jake and a few others. I truly couldn't figure out what was going to happen next. The suspense that Kate brought had me flipping the pages faster then I could read at times. I loved every moment and especially how this story unfolded at the end.
I give this story 5 out 5 starts and would highly recommend that you add this book to your library or give as a gift.
I was given this book for my review from the publisher which I have given.
