Book Description: Years ago, a picnic basket brought two hearts together. For Rachel and Mike, history may be about to repeat itself.
Rachel Fisher is devastated when the young man she’s loved for years leaves her to date her best friend. Her heart is broken, and she has all but given up on love. Determined to keep her mind off the pain, she starts teaching at an Amish school for children with learning disabilities.
Since his father became ill, Mike Lantz has been overwhelmed with the responsibility of providing for his family and caring for his six-year-old brother, John. When John joins Rachel’s class and she learns that his mother is deceased and his father sick, she desperately wants to help the family, even with something as simple as a meal.
With her parents’ old picnic basket, Rachel begins sending food to the Lantz family. As the weeks go by, John’s grades start to improve, and the attraction grows between Rachel and Mike. They can’t deny that their friendship is growing toward something more, but both of them are hesitant to risk a more serious relationship.
The last thing Rachel wants is another heartbreak, and Mike is worried about providing for his loved ones. Will the two be able to reconcile their past hurts with new hope for the future?
My Thoughts: Amy Clipston is one of my favorite authors!
In this wonderful read about a picnic basket and heart in love one finds that history sometimes, invariably, repeat itself.
Rachel Fisher is completely devastated when the young man that she is dating leaves her/breaks up with her to go with her best friend. Her heart aches from broken promises.
But when Mike Lantz's father becomes ill and he is responsible for caring for his family it seems overwhelming. But then Rachel begins to send food to the family in her parents' old picnic basket. Because that's what the Amish do . . . they help each other in times of crisis.
Well, as Mike's dad begins to recover and less responsibility is required of him, he begins to see Rachel.
But Rachel doesn't want heartbreak again.
This is a fantastic story. Yes, it is about the Amish but it is so well written that it grabs the reader attention.
Loved, loved this story!
