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.
There’s something about the simple life of the Amish that is
very intriguing. Here in “Starting From
Scratch”, we see Eva leaving her family home to live and work elsewhere and at
the ripe old age of 29, start her life from scratch. Soon after, unbeknownst to Eva, the suitors
begin to stack up. Should she see what
she has left in the past or should she venture out to see what new hearts she
can find? A tried and true recipe for romance
along with some great twists and turns makes for one book you won’t want to
miss.
Is this a "Guys Book"? Not really, as this genre has romance
written all over it. But you never know,
you pick this book up and you might learn a thing or two about romance J
