This book deserves 10 stars!!! Molly Jebber did a wonderful job with this book. The story was well-written with plenty of suspense. I could not put the book down.

Magdelena loves her beloved Toby, but her parents reject him because of his financial position. They try to force Zach, a newcomer who shows a great love for her father's business, to marry Magdelena. Zach is overbearing and arrogant and demands Magdelena marry him. Who will yield? Will Magdelena's parents accept Toby? Or will Magdelena be forced into a loveless marriage?

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Kensington Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Complete opposites. That describes the characters Magdelena and Toby. Magdelena comes from a wealthy and chooses to work because she enjoys it-not because she has to. Toby is from a poor family and has to work to support the family because his father is sick. The story teaches about forgiveness, patience, faith and the author, Molly Jebber, does a good job intertwining these attributes within the storyline. I finished the book within 3 days, which is good for me because I am usually busy doing other things.

I was given a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review and opinion.

Very well written and inviting. Magdelena's Choice was such a pleasure to read. Can't wait for more.

Synopsis: As the daughter of a wealthy rancher, Magdelena Beachy may not truly need her job at the Amish Charm Bakery, but she enjoys tending to customers, be they neighbors or curious Englischers. Only one thing would make life sweeter, and that’s if Toby Schlabach would court her. It’s not just his dimples and smile that warm Magdelena’s heart—she admires his kindness and values. Yet she worries their chance may slip away . . .

Magdalena’s Choice by Molly Jebber is such a great story of love, community, forgiveness and harmony. Her book tells a beautiful relatable story of standing up for what’s right and finding peace among the turmoil, and with prayer and patience even the most impossible outcomes can be turned around. Molly Jebber writes such lovable characters, that they feel like personal friends. This book will make you frustrated at times at certain character’s and their blindness, but will also restore your faith knowing that we serve a God that works everything out to the good if we pray about it, and have the patience to wait on His answers, then follow through! I throughly enjoyed reading Magdalena’s Choice and my praises for a story well written to Molly Jebber! Thank you!!

A nice romance between Magdelena and Toby. He is poor and is struggling with a dying father, so must help run the farm. She works in the bakery more for fun, since her family is stable. A good story, but did drag a bit for me in the middle. Would still recommend this one, as it was worth the read.
