I have been following the Kauffman Amish Bakery Series from Book One and was very excited yet sad that the 5th and final book in this series finally came out. Another great story in this series. I highly recommend this whole series.

I really struggled with this one, even though I usually enjoy this author's stories. I might have been able to get into it if I had read the series in order, so I recommend keeping that in mind. The repetitive thoughts and conversations made me lose interest and I didn't feel a connection to the emotions of the characters, which is a deal breaker for me. The attitude of her father felt overly dramatic and contrived.

This is the final book in the Kauffman Amish Bakery Series, and how time has flown. It is hard to say goodbye to old friends, but love being updated on everyone.
Major life changes abound here for three close friends, Lindsay, Katie, and Lizzie Anne, and then there will be no turning back. These girls are no longer little ones, and have somehow before our eyes grown up. They are now deciding to join the church and taking a life partner, they are moving on.
Two of these friends seem to have found that perfect one for them, but Katie sees no one in her future. When we see how Katie’s dad treats her, no wonder she is having problems. I wanted to smack him when he wouldn’t listen to her about those men that were accosting her.
Her father has concerns for her faith, and sees a budding relationship between her and Jake a Mennonite, they are Amish and she is baptized. As this story unfolds, you will see how extreme her father goes to keep her Amish.
While I hate for this series to end, I loved this book, and wish there was more.
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Zondervan, and was not required to give a positive review.
