Book Description: Welcome to Sugarcreek, Ohio, where the Amish schoolteacher has a determined admirer. Tragically losing her parents as a child, Lisa Miller has grown up being afraid of loving and losing. She dedicates herself to teaching at an Amish schoolhouse and helping the grandparents who raised her, all the while avoiding the advances of newcomer Paul Herchberger. Paul enjoys antiques and meets Orley Troyer while looking for unique old milk bottles at yard sales. Orley and his wife offer prayers and advice as Paul tries to reach Lisa’s closed heart. But when secrets are revealed, will Lisa use them as an excuse to close herself off again?
My Thoughts: I am really enjoying this new series of Wanda Brunstetter's Creek Town Discoveries.
This is the second book in the series. If you remember the first book you'll remember that this is set around an antique store with some unusual pieces and unusual folk.
Of course, it is about Amish folk. Now that Orley Troyer and his wife own the local antique shop and are dedicated to the Lord. So when they have a garage sale and Paul Herchberger who is a newcomer to their area arrives looking for antique milk bottles. Orley and his wife talk with Paul and then offer to pray with him as he needs some guidance.
Also Lisa Miller is the new school teacher in their area. She is helping her grandparents. Lisa is afraid of loving and losing because it seems that all her life she loved someone and they left. So when Paul wants to get to know her she backs way off but Paul doesn't let up.
A sweet and insightful story on the dealings of the human heart.
A grand story!
