Publisher Description
Huckleberry, Wisconsin’s very own Amish matchmaking grandparents, eighty-somethings Anna and Felty Helmuth, continue to meddle into love lives—and bring faithful hearts together, in the USA Today bestselling author’s inspirational romance series. Will appeal to fans of Charlotte Hubbard, Amy Lillard, and Emma Miller.
Sensible and cautious, Naomi Coblenz lives to help everyone else be happy—particularly when it comes to her twin sister, Ruth. So Omi certainly can’t admit she’s always loved handsome Bo Helmuth, since he and Ruth have begun courting. To look out for her sometimes-thoughtless sister, Omi even poses as Ruth on a ride home alone with Bo. But it doesn’t take Bo long to see the truth—and really notice Omi for the first surprising, hopelessly-wonderful time . . .
Bo thought he was in love with the vivacious Ruth. But he can’t stop thinking about Omi’s kindness and understanding, especially since she refuses to hurt her sister. And he can’t figure out a way to tell Ruth they aren’t really suited for each other. His only hope is that his
ever-resourceful Dawdi and Mammi can help faith guide the way—and at last claim a happy ending for all.
“The lighthearted tone and witty banter amuse. Fans of Wanda Brunstetter will want to check this out.”
--Publishers Weekly on The Amish Quiltmaker’s Unconventional Niece
Customer Reviews
An emotional and heartwarming story
I loved Omi and Bo’s heartwarming, sweet and funny Amish romance. The story will give you all the swoony swoons while also pulling at your heartstrings with all the emotions. This one had me feeling all the feels - laughing, crying, swooning, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering. Both Omi and Bo (and Ruth) are portrayed as real, relatable people who have flaws and make mistakes, but are really trying to just do their best as messy fallible humans. Omi is an identical twin. She is the kind, quiet and faithful twin while Ruth is the vivacious, impulsive and self-centered twin. Bo is a local man who grew up with Omi and Ruth. Omi has loved him for years but now that he is dating Ruth, she has tried to put her feelings aside. Everything changes and gets messy and painful when Omi reluctantly agrees to pretend she’s Ruth for a buggy ride home and Bo kisses her. It will take faith, divine guidance, kindness, honesty, and matchmaking grandparents to get Bo and Omi to their HEA while honoring and protecting Omi’s relationship with Ruth. The secondary characters, as always with this author’s stories, have dimension and are integral to the storyline which just adds further dimension to the story as a whole. Anna and Felty, Bo’s grandparents, are a hoot. They continue to be my favorite secondary characters in this series. Their love for each other and their efforts to “help” their grandchildren are portrayed with such depth I feel like I know them and since they’re recurring characters they feel like old friends. I especially love that even characters that could be judged as less than, like Ruth, have a redemption arc. The character gets to grow but so does the reader. This was a beautiful story of choice, kindness, grace, forgiveness, and love all within the beautiful backdrop of the Amish community’s faith and lifestyle. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline as told through sweet moments, laughs, supportive friends and family, missteps, faith, and heart squeezing love.
