A Heart On Consignment (The Heart of the Amish} by Mindy Steele

 

Book Description:  Despite knowing her parents are getting desperate for their only child to marry and give them grandchildren, Salina Stoltzfus is weary of seeking the perfect match. Every time she thinks she has found “the one,” he marries another.

 
The best way to forget you are the last woman any man in Havenlee, Indiana, wants to hitch his buggy too is to find something passionate to focus on. When the area is overrun with donations after a tragic storm, Salina suggests opening a consignment shop. The deacon supports the idea and offers his visiting nephew to help set things up.
 
After the embarrassment of having his fiancée call off their wedding, Seth Weaver takes his mother’s advice to leave Kentucky to stay with his uncle for a while. Unfortunately, Seth knows nothing about building furniture in his uncle’s factory, which is the only reason he agrees to help ready the consignment shop next door—not because of the little chatterbox working inside.
 
When Salina’s parents are caught meddling in her love life, she comes up with a crazy idea that might gain her some time and space. Could it be the road to happiness is paved with good intentions and epic fails—until we cross paths when the one made especially for us?

My Thoughts:  It's been awhile since I've read a story by Mindy Steele. She's a great writer and brings each of the characters to life.

Salina Stoltzfus is Amish and an only child.  To her parents dismay their only child is not married yet with children but Salina is waiting {im}patiently for the "right man" to come along.

Salena wants to marry only someone she can love and build life with. Is there truly such a man?

As the days wind down so do Salina's images of a marriage to the perfect man.  Until donations pile in after a terrible storm. So many dionations the donations no one knows what to do with them. Salena suggests opening a consignment shop and putting all the donations in the store along with other items that may be donated in the future.

Then Seth Weaver comes to town.  He's nursing his own past.  He intends to work for his uncle but making furniture is not his thing.  So, he goes next door to help with the consignment shop. 

OOOLAALAA!  This is not a match made in heaven at first sight!

A fun read for the romantic heart in us all.
