A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill
A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill | Jennifer Beckstrand
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
There's nothing Huckleberry Hill, Wisconsin’s irrepressible eighty-somethings Anna and Felty Helmuth like better than a challenge. And the chance to matchmake their feisty granddaughter is their most delightful task yet… Elsie Helmuth’s plain-spoken ways got her in trouble once before, so she needs to make a good impression at her new teaching job. But she's not about to let disabled student Wally Sensenig work below his potential. And she definitely won’t put up with his hot-headed older brother sabotaging her efforts, no matter how handsome he is. . . Sam is nearly at the end of his rope caring for his ailing, widowed mother, working their farm, and raising his siblings. He'll admit Elsie’s ideas are bringing Wally out of his angry shell—but why does she have to be as stubborn as she is pretty? Yet as it turns out, Elsie has taught Sam something about himself as well. And he’ll do whatever it takes to make up for his mistakes—and win her heart forever. 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

Book 8 in The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series...
So I live in a town 50% Amish. Many conservative authors don't write from an experience of total immersion. However, I literally wait to read these titles. Not due to accuracy but rather for the carry-over minor characters, the matchmaking great-grandparents who are laugh out loud witty and simply pull each story together. They may have only 2,000 words of dialog a story but it's worth it!
