I loved this book. I liked the 1st book in this series, A is for Amish, but like this one even more. To see Kelsey settled down in her Amish life and Jonny coming to terms with what life he wants, made me happy. Loved the interaction with their dad also. Top notch book!

Excellent sequel that actual surpasses te first book. As the youngest of four siblings, Jonny is finally breaking free as he moves in with his Amish grandparents. He loves work in the bike shop, and he discovers another love running her own coffee shop. Relationship issues abound as many people grapple with their identities, guilt, and relationships. Look forward to the next installment.

It was so good to read about the four Schrock siblings. The additional characters of Treva, Kennedy and Matt were a great addition as well. This story centers around Jonny and whether or not he will choose the Amish faith. I loved the element of forgiveness that ran throughout the story

I always enjoy a sweet Amish romance by Ms. Gray and this is no exception.
I enjoyed Jonny and Treva's interactions and the coffee shop sounded delicious.
Looking forward to more of this series.

Loved reading the inspirational and captivating story. Even though Jonny finds out he has to be careful what he eats, he still wants to try living Amish, gets a job selling electric bikes, and wants to spend more time with Treva. Meanwhile, Jonny's dad s has a long road ahead of him to try to make amends with his children, and Martin, Jonny's older brother, is still unsure about becoming Amish. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting story by the phenomenal author, Shelley Shepard Gray. Can't wait to read the next story in the series!

Jonny Schrock and his siblings wanted to see if they could assimilate into the Amish lifestyle.
Jonnys' sister, Kelsey had married Richard, an Amish preacher and she loved the life. Jonny had just received a diagnosis of high blood pressure and he was told he could have a heart attack and he was only 22!
Jonny decided that living with his Amish grandparents, Josiah and Sylvia, and changing his diet would improve his health.
Two months later, Jonny is living with his Amish Grandparents, and selling electric bikes to Amish farmers as they are cheaper to keep than horses and faster, too!
But then he meets Treva, an Amish coffee shop owner....

I absolutely love Shelley Shepard Gray's style of writing. Her characters come to life on the page and make me feel part of the huge community. I loved everything about this book - from the back cover description which pulled me in immediately to Treva and her cafe. I could feel the burden she was facing keeping it running and Jonny and his siblings. Wonderful book. I haven't found a Shelley Shepard Gray book that I haven't fallen in love with and this one was no exception. Loved and will definitely recommend to my friends who also love Amish stories with a faith-based theme.

I was given the opportunity to read and review this book from Netgalley. All opinions are strictly mine.
