If you love Amish Fiction, this is a MUST READ!
April 2 2010
By Jessica C. Kotzbeck
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I read Amy Clipston's first book in the Kauffman Amish Bakery,A Gift of Grace: A Novel (Kauffman Amish Bakery Series) and loved it. When I was given the oppertunity to read an advanced copy of the book not only was I honored, but excited to see what was going on with the Kauffman Family.
I certainly suggest picking up a copy of ' A Gift of Grace' by Amy Clipston, but if you haven't read it, no worries, you can absolutely pick right up with this book.
Set in Bird-In-Hand, PA, the main character, Sarah, is a first time expectant mother who is greiving over the tragic loss of her husband. Sarah moves back in with her parents who are trying their best to love and support their greiving daughter, reassuring her that people will help her take care of her babies. Sarah is overwhelmed with greif and sadness. While working in the family bakery she meets a man who has come to Bird-In-Hand to learn more about her husband's death. This man, Luke, claims to be a realitive. Sarah learns many things, some quite troubling, about her husband's past that she never knew, but she also learns quite a bit about herself as well.
You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll definitely fall in love with the hero of the story, as I did. A MUST READ for anyone who is a fan of Amish Fiction. If you like Wanda Brunstetter and Beverly Lewis, well the Amy Clipston should be a new favorite author of yours as well! I personally, cannot wait until the 3rd book in the series becomes available.

A Promise of Hope
April 16 2010
By Lollipops
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Sarah Rose Troyer is mourning the death of her beloved husband, Peter, and expecting a baby. She doesn't know how she'll manage to be a single mother, and is even more upset when an ultrasound reveals she's actually having twins.
Luke Troyer makes his home in Ohio, but when a family friend comes into the shop claiming she hasn't heard from him in a while, Luke is concerned. He agrees to go to Pennsylvania to search for Peter.
When Luke arrives in Bird-in-Hand he discovers that Peter is dead, but Peter's extended family is quick to take him in. Luke quickly develops feelings for the very pregnant Sarah Rose, but knows she's in mourning...plus she is struggling with having discovered that her husband has lied to her all along. What will it take for Sarah ever be able to trust a man again?
A PROMISE OF HOPE is book two in Ms. Clipston's Kauffman Amish Bakery series by Ms. Clipston, but it easily stands alone. I enjoyed reading the book, but the premise of the story did bother me a bit. Luke lost a lot of respect with me by the way he handled certain situations.
I enjoyed getting to know the close Kauffman family and Luke, and learning about Peter's secrets, and I'm looking forward to the third book in this series. If you like Amish stories, then A PROMISE OF HOPE is a book that you'll want to consider.

A Promise of Hope (Kauffman Amish Bakery Series)
Aug 21 2011
By Wendy Newcomb
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have read the first two books in this series, and love that they are based in a bakery. A Promise Of Hope shows the difficulties of losing the love of your life and having twin infant boys to raise. Even with the help of her parents it isn't always easy, especially after finding out your husband has a secret past. I would recommend this series and this book to anyone that likes to read about Amish fiction.
