Return to Huckleberry Hill
Return to Huckleberry Hill | Jennifer Beckstrand
1 post | 2 read
When it comes to matchmaking, Huckleberry Hill, Wisconsin’s unstoppable octogenarians Anna and Felty Helmuth never seem to run out of opportunities—or grandchildren... Reuben Helmuth is plenty bitter. John King, his best friend—or so he thought—is engaged to the girl Reuben loved. Humiliated, Reuben flees from Ohio to his grandparents’ home on Huckleberry Hill, where he knows he’ll find comfort. He’s enjoying wallowing in his misery—until John’s sister, Fern, shows up. She won’t stop pestering Reuben about forgiveness—or trying to help him find love again. Yet Fern's efforts only reawaken Reuben’s long-buried feelings—for her… With her brother too ashamed to face Reuben, it’s fallen to Fern to help mend fences. But as she and the Helmuths do all they can—even organizing a knitting club event filled with eligible girls—it may take one more challenge to inspire Reuben to forget his heartache, recognize his own blunders, and embrace the true love that’s right in front of him… Praise for Jennifer Beckstrand and her Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series “Beckstrand continues to bring unexpected and heart-melting plotlines to this outstanding series.” –RT Book Reviews “Full of kind, sincere characters struggling with the best ways to stay true to themselves and their beliefs.” --Publishers Weekly “A delightful voice in Amish romance. Sweet and funny.” --Emma Miller

I'm no stranger to Christian Amish fiction but this one was a bit out of the norm, pushed the boundaries too far. While characters aren't always likeable authors don't traditionally cast Amish characters in the light in which some in this title where portrayed. I still love, and chuckle over, the elderly Grandparents who tie this series together and will continue reading as they are matchmaking their grandchildren one by one.
