Dorcus Koblentz is tired of being alone. While all the
other girls are going
off in buggies with boys, Dorcus fears she is never going
to find a boy who
will love her. She begins her new job working for Sara,
who just happens
to be a matchmaker! Little does Dorcus know but her
parents have hired
Sara to find a match for her. Dorcus is horrified. She
knows she hasn't had
much luck finding a husband, but to pay someone to find
one is so
embarrassing. A MATCH FOR ADDY by Emma Miller is a
wonderful story
filled with love, faith, and family. I am very surprised
at how fast the story
went and before I knew it, I was finished!
A MATCH FOR ADDY will also introduce you to Gideon. He
works as a
hired hand for Sara and gives Dorcus her name Addy, which
is short for
her middle name, Adelaide. Gideon is also looking for his
true love and isn't
sure how he feels about someone else finding her for him.
He will get
married when HE finds the right one and not a moment
sooner. His
parents think it is past time for him to start a family
but he won't be forced
into it. He struts his stuff around the girls but has no
intention of committing
to anyone until he is ready. He likes Addy as a friend
but wonders why she
isn't married yet? What is the problem? She is not the
prettiest woman he
has ever known but she has a big heart .
A MATCH FOR ADDY isn't the first time I've read Emma
Miller and it
certainly won't be the last. She has such knowledge when
she writes about
the Amish people. She pulls you right in and never lets
you go. You feel as
if you are sitting right there with them discussing their
lives. You will find
yourself laughing out loud as Gideon and Addy are
bantering back and
forth. An Amish Matchmaker? Who knew there was even such
a person?
Wholesome, honorable, and a faith driven story line. The
characterizations
were extremely faith driven, but not preachy or dictating.
You were shown
their love of God, family, and community in their actions
and words. I can't
wait to read more of this series.
Spinster Addy Coblentz fears she'll never marry. So her
parents hire the new matchmaker who's moved to their Amish
community of Seven Poplars. But Addy doesn't just want a
match. She wants love. While some of her potential suitors
are perfectly fine, only one man catches her eye. Gideon
Esch is everything Addy's looking for: strong, kind—and
handsome. But he's only a poor hired hand who can never
give
her family the stability they want. With her future
happiness at stake, will Addy follow the rules…or
follow her
heart?
THE AMISH MATCHMAKER: Bringing love to Seven Poplars— one
couple at a time!
