The Sugarcreek Surprise (Creektown Discoveries #2) by Wanda E. Brunstetter

 


Book 2 in the Creektown Discoveries series. 
Antique Store Owners Offer Romance Advice to a Smitten Carpenter

Welcome to Sugarcreek, Ohio, where the Amish schoolteacher has a determined admirer. Tragically losing her parents as a child, Lisa Miller has grown up being afraid of loving and losing. She dedicates herself to teaching at an Amish schoolhouse and helping the grandparents who raised her, all the while avoiding the advances of newcomer Paul Herchberger. Paul enjoys antiques and meets Orley Troyer while looking for unique old milk bottles at yard sales. Orley and his wife offer prayers and advice as Paul tries to reach Lisa’s closed heart. But when secrets are revealed, will Lisa use them as an excuse to close herself off again?

My thoughts:

This is the second book in the latest series by Ms. Brunstetter and I enjoyed catching up with Orley and Lois Troyer, the Amish couple who own and operate an antique store.  I enjoyed meeting the younger couple, Lisa Miller and Paul Hershberger. I wasn’t too sure I would like Lisa at first but, after she takes in Maggie, a stray dog, I saw the sweet, softer side of her.

I felt bad for Lisa losing her family when she was a young child, but I loved the relationship she has with her grandparents who she lives with.  This is a story involving secrets, the love of family and forgiveness.   Overall, it’s a sweet story.

I received a copy from the publisher.  All opinions are my own.
