Katie’s life is a roller coaster of ups and downs. She loves working in the bakery, and she is soon to be baptized into the Amish faith. But every day she discovers that she is more and more attracted to Jake, a Mennonite. At first, Kate thinks she just wants to be his friend, but soon, her feelings run deeper. But there is no hope for an Amish girl and a Mennonite boy to have any kind of committed relationship; her father has made that clear. In fact, he has forbidden her to even talk to Jake. Katie is much troubled by her strict father’s edicts, and as much as she wants to obey him, she just can’t do it. This tale is filled with wonderful characters in an intriguing story that is entertaining and interesting. The whole series is highly recommended to readers who enjoy Amish fiction. ( ) 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. The 5th and final story in this series and I am so glad I took the time to visit the Kauffman Amish Bakery and get to know the people in this series. The author has done a really good job of making these characters come alive and seem very real. They are not perfect people, but have their share of problems to work through and I feel the author did a very good job of being fair and honest about how the Amish live and the strict code they live by. In this story we wrap up the series by seeing 3 close friends, Lindsay, Lizzie Anne and Katie being baptized into the Amish community. Each have dreams of courtship and marriage and two of the girls already have their future mates picked out for the most part. But Katie will quickly feel a little left out and finds herself becoming friends with Jake Yoder, who is not Amish. Jake has worked among the Amish community as a carpenter and has close Amish friends. But Katie and Jake showing an interest in each other will be strictly forbidden by her parents and others. Jake is Mennonite and Katie is Amish. There is no future there for them, only heartache. The way the author brings this dilemma to a conclusion and the pain and heartache Katie goes through was very difficult, but very well done. I have enjoyed my time spent in this community and although I don't agree with all the Amish regulations, I do appreciate their simplistic way of life and trying to keep "the world" from influencing the love for their Lord. Monday, April 18, 2016 Recap of A Season of Love by Amy Clipston, © 2012, © 2015 The Finale of the Kauffman Amish Bakery Series ~ Book 5 Author's Note: The Making of A Season of Love "A Season of Love was an emotional novel for me to write since it's the final book in my Kauffman Amish Bakery Series. I held back tears when I wrote the final chapter. However, it was fun to revisit all of my favorite characters once more, and I tied up all of the loose ends. I hope my readers will enjoy taking one last journey with the Kauffman family." --Amy Clipston In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. --Matthew 5:16 My Review: This was the first book I read by Amy Clipston when it was released in 2012. It was rereleased with a new cover in 2015. Meet Katie Kauffman: I am a granddaughter of Elizabeth, who owns the Bakery. I have had feelings of anxiety ~ my friends begin their future and I feel I don't fit in my present. I don't fully understand why my father is so against my friendship with Jake Miller. My grandfather Eli has employed him to build new bakery shelving. Jake's mother left the community years earlier to marry Jake's father. Will my father be able to include this grandson of his father's business partner? ~*~ A Season of Love contains strong characters. They strive to know their own minds, but possibly overlook each other's hearts. I found compassion in the grandparents, Eli and Elizabeth, that seemed to be lacking in their son, Robert, Katie's father. Does he have a pain in his heart that needs healing? The storyline brings you into their daily lives. With the conversational writing, some material was repeated speaking to someone else. With Katie's father being so close to the law of his beliefs, he was hindered in truly hearing his family. Reading the earlier books in the series would likely give further insight into his character. There were tense moments and misunderstandings. Growth was evident as the story progressed in the interaction between characters. These are the previous books in the Kauffman Amish Bakery Series: Book 1 ~* A Gift of Grace Book 2 ~* A Promise of Hope Book 3 ~* A Place of Peace Book 4 ~* A Life of Joy Thank you to Zondervan Linked to Lit for sending the initial review copy of Book 5, A Season to Love. This review was written in my own words. No other compensation was received. This is one of my favorite book. I really enjoyed this series altogether and I will miss it. I love this one for it get you see three friends find what they were looking for. Lindsay finally get what she wants and she also gets her dreams with Matthew Glick. Katie though she get what see want in the end. She struggles mostly though it. Her friend Lizzie Annie get her wish as well. Though you will be surprise with who and how soon. Mainly this story sit around Katie. Though it is also surrounded by Lindsay as well. You get to see two woman love struggles and blooms. Find out more about it and read the story of how it ends. Though I hope there some more novel that surrounds this family and I hope to find out if Lindsay and Katie get married and have children. I like to find out if Lizzie Annie has children as well. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
