Promise at Pebble Creek (Hope Chest of Dreams #6) Lisa Jones Baker

Book Description

Amish country girl Hannah Lapp lives for adventure—the kind found in favorite novels and the stories she secretly writes. And at her family’s popular tourist store, she’s fascinated by the different Englischers she meets. Especially when Marcus Jackson comes to town. She’s sure there’s more to the ex-city boy than his quiet, helpful ways, and she’s curious to find out just what it is . . .

Marcus fled Chicago before his brothers’ life of crime ruined his future. He’s not sure exactly why God’s plan brought him to this quaint little town. Or why his growing friendship with the bubbly, inquisitive Hannah has him trusting her with his past. But when local stores are robbed and suspicion falls on Marcus, can he and Hannah come together to prove his innocence—and make their own happy-ever-after ending?

My thoughts:

Promise at Pebble Creek is the 6th book in this heartwarming series.  I have enjoyed each of the novels but this one was my favorite because the characters were instantly likeable and the storyline was so sweet.  Hannah Lapp is a happy, kind young lady who manages the Lapp family store that is a tourist attraction in her Amish Community. She is also a huge fan of adventure novels but that’s kind of a hush-hush thing because it’s not really something her family and community engage in. I thought that added a fun twist to the storyline.


I love how fascinated Hannah is with the Englischer clientele who shop there but there is one Englischer in particular who really catches her eye named Marcus Jackson.  Only Marcus isn’t just a random customer, he is a new resident.  This is a tender story as their friendship blossoms and as they get to know each other and discover what they both want in life.  


Overall, I thought this was a sweet novel of faith and new beginnings.  It’s a quick read and perfect to take you away to a wonderful community where you’re sure to meet down to earth characters who will seem like friends.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but was under no obligation to write a positive review.  All opinions are completely my own.
