and baby-on-the-way, Colorado Amish quiltmaker Esther Kiem always has time for matchmaking--even when it comes to her frustratingly exacting distant cousin!
Infused with her signature humor and saturated with heart, award-winning, USA Today
bestselling author Jennifer Beckstrand blends quilting, mischief, and matchmaking for the fifth Amish Quiltmaker romance--perfect for fans of Amy Clipston, Wanda Brunstetter, and Linda Byler. Esther's distant cousin, widower Menno Eicher, needs to be hard-headed and practical. Swamped by family and farm responsibilities, he must find the perfect wife as quickly as possible, so he's shown up in Colorado--with "finding a wife" on his To-Do list! Esther's community has many women who could match his ever-growing requirements. Still, after a chance meeting, Menno keeps coming back to baker Joanna Yoder. Hard-working, honest, and forthright, she's distracting Menno from his search, opening his heart--yet refuses to believe he's falling hopelessly in love with her . . .
Happily busy inventing and selling delicious desserts, Joanna has no time for someone as ridiculously exacting as Menno. After all, what sort of man thinks choosing a wife is like picking a pie at the general store? But she soon sees the surprisingly kind heart, doting father, and understanding man beneath his hard-to-please ways. With faith and genuine love, might the few things they have in common overcome the differences between them--and prove precious enough to risk a future together?
