Return to Lancaster County with the first installment of Amy Clipston's charming new Amish Marketplace series.
Christiana Kurtz loves to bake, but when her bake stand becomes too
busy, her mother encourages her to move her business to the local
market. Her new bake shop becomes so inundated with customers that the
line blocks the leather and woodcraft shop next door, which is run by
Jeffrey Stoltzfus. When Jeffrey complains that her stand is driving away
business due to the lines, she complains to him that his
personalization machine smells. Though their relationship starts off on
bad footing, they eventually forge a friendship.
When Christiana's father makes a surprise visit to the market, he is
upset to find that Jeffrey uses the building's electricity to
personalize his items. He tells Christiana that Jeffrey is too modern
for her, and she's forbidden from dating him. Christiana is crushed, but
she knows she must obey her father.
When Jeffrey's shop catches fire one day, he puts the entire market
in jeopardy--including Christiana's bake shop. Christiana, however,
can't deny how she feels about Jeffrey despite his mistakes. Though the
odds are against them, can two young people find a way to rebuild both
their businesses and their relationship?
