Miranda Cooper is living the life of a single mom to her two kids while separated from her husband, but Trent is trying to worm his way back into her heart.Denise McGuire’s life as a wife, mom, and real estate broker is full and spilling over.
Darren Keller, single dad and firefighter, and Ellen Blackburn, single mom and nurse, find a few things in common.
Will hearts be healed over plates of Amish food?
my thoughts....
I have enjoyed this series. Wanda Brunstetter has brought Heidi Troyer to life between the pages of these books. Heidi is the woman you want to sit down with a cup of coffee and share your heart. She is unselfish and possesses that quiet patience that you wish you could tap into. She has plenty of her own burdens yet seems to accept those she doesn't understand. Her faith is strong and after she writes out the recipes for her cooking classes she prayerfully writes a verse of scripture on the back of each card. As she does so, she prays that the verse will touch someone in her class.
Heidi and her husband Lyle are foster parents to Marsha and Randy, who lost their parents in an accident. They come to realize that the love they have for the children is as trues as if they were their own flesh and blood. As they seek adoption, the cooking class begins and with the new students, it brings people together as only Heidi Troyer can. Each student brings not only their own special needs but those of the parents who can't seem to just drop off their kids to learn on their own. Heidi's quiet ways have a ripple effect beyond her kitchen.
Wanda Brunstetter has a knack for writing about human nature. This book captures the importance of family, no matter what it looks like. From the darkest of times many blessings can come and families can become stronger. In our world, it is a blessing to see how faith can change people who may otherwise have been overlooked and unloved. I heartily recommend Amish Cooking Class - The Celebration, a truly heartwarming story.
