Home on Huckleberry Hill
Home on Huckleberry Hill | Jennifer Beckstrand
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Huckleberry Hill, Wisconsin’s irrepressible eighty-something matchmakers Anna and Felty Helmuth are at it again. And this time they’re willing to rough it to get the job done . . . Mary Anne Neuenschwander knows she should be content with what Gotte has given her. She has a comfortable house, a fruitful farm, and a good, steady husband. But after nearly six years of marriage, she still longs for a baby. Yet her husband, Jethro, seems to care more about fishing than about his wife. Unable to bear Jethro’s indifference, Mary Anne moves into a tent in the woods where he won’t have to be bothered. But when her mammi and dawdi find out what she’s done, they’ll stop at nothing—including a little camping trip of their own—to help save their granddaughter’s marriage . . . Jethro’s greatest blessing is his beloved wife, Mary Anne. Nothing else in his life has turned out anywhere near the way he expected. Rather than burden Mary Anne with his disappointment, he shields her by spending less and less time at home and more time on the river. But when he finds that she’s moved out, he’s shocked. What will people think? What is Mary Anne thinking? And what clever plans are her grandparents hatching?. . . “A heart-warming story of faith, hope, and second chances. The story will captivate readers who love the Amish culture and enjoy an endearing romance.” –Amy Clipston, bestselling author of A Place at Our Table

A little long-winded at some points, but unique love story for the Amish genre. Jetho and Mary Anne are already married but after a miscarriage grief separately and in their own ways leaving them more out of love than in. Enter extended family, a solitary movement, and working through a tough spot (with hoots and hollars) in order to find love again. Only with for a different ending. This one would have been better without the little bow.
