In this historical Amish romance, a local bakery offers tempting aromas—and second chances for those who seek a life of faith and lasting love. Charm, Ohio, 1912. Ellie Graber couldn't be happier working at Amish Charm Bakery—and making good on a precious chance to reunite with her Amish community. Grief over her mother's death made her rebel and try the Englischer world, but now she's home to start again. And quiet, thoughtful Joel Wenger is one of the few willing to understand her as their unexpected friendship develops into something more . . . But no matter how hard Ellie tries, Joel's mother refuses to approve of her—much less accept her as a potential daughter-in-law. As painful misunderstandings and a beautiful rival for Joel's affections threaten to drive them apart, Ellie and Joel wonder if they bridge the gap between them to secure a lifetime of love.
