Maryann's Hope

Description

The pleasing warmth of fresh-baked maple cookies...the sweet, buttery flakiness of a raspberry jam pastry. In 1913 Ohio, the Amish Charm Bakery is beloved by locals and visiting Englischer alike. And its understanding community always provides help, healing--and new chances for love... Secrets devastated Maryanne Harding's marriage to an Englischer--and took away her untrustworthy husband. Now the young Amish widow has found contentment cooking up treats at the bakery, raising her little girl, and comforting her ailing mother. And when Andrew Wittmer asks her to marry him, Maryanne is over the moon with happiness that she and the kind furniture maker will put down roots in her hometown... Until Andrew's uncle becomes ill, and Andrew must permanently take over his store in a town hours away. Though she would go anywhere to be Andrew's fraa, Maryanne can't abandon her mother--or the family that depends on her so much. And when she discovers Andrew harbors secrets of his own, Maryanne's hard-won trust is shaken. Now, can she risk difficult choices and take a leap of faith into the loving, joyful future she longs for most?
