About the book: Return to Sugarcreek, Book One
In the Amish town of Sugarcreek, love comes in many forms. But will it come at all for Miriam?
Miriam
Zehr has worked at the Sugarcreek Inn longer than she cares to admit.
The restaurant is a favorite of town residents as well as the many
tourists who come to taste the famous Amish fare. Though she always
tries to have a smile for every customer, deep down Miriam knows
something's missing: a family of her own.
Miriam has never felt particularly
beautiful, especially because she's always been a bit heavier than other
girls her age. When Junior, the man she's pined for all her life,
suddenly seeks her out, she's thrilled to be noticed . . . until she
realizes he's only asking her to help get the attention of Mary Kathryn
Hershberger, her pretty friend.
If Miriam helps Junior court Mary Kathryn,
she'll get to spend a lot of time with him, but she might lose him in
the process. Are these few stolen moments worth a lifetime of sacrifice?
Is Miriam right to even hope for the life she dreams of?
My review: I really enjoyed this story because I really liked the characters and the plot. I could relate to Miriam and really felt for her when she realized Junior didn't like her romantically. Even though Junior was a bit dense sometimes, he really was a good guy and I loved the way he watched out for his siblings. We get to know what each of the characters are thinking and I loved seeing their relationship progress. There were some interesting sub-plots about Mary Kathryn and another character who suffered a miscarriage that both brought in more serious issues, but the romance was very sweet. This is my first introduction to Sugarcreek and it's a cozy town I'd like to visit again! If you like Amish or romance stories, you should check it out!
