Betsy Yoder's move to Pinecraft last year did not turn out
as expected. Love did not come as she had hoped. Now she's
moving on with her life and opening the business of her
dreams, a pie and pastry shop, with her family's support
and blessing.
When Thaddeus Zook arrives in Pinecraft, Betsy believes
love could finally come her way. Thad left the Amish
culture almost 10 years ago to pursue his dream of becoming
a pastry chef. After the restaurant where he worked in Ohio
closed due to the owner's death, Thad decided he needed a
change of venue. The owner's death was ruled a murder. Thad
wasn't sure he could work there again. The Amish are not
completely welcoming of Thad to Pinecraft, having
reservations about him not ever being baptized into the
faith because he pursued a different career. However, the
more Betsy is around Thad, the more she wants to be with
him. Could this even be a possibility?
Thad is not aware that cohorts of his ex-boss are looking
for him because they believe he holds evidence
incriminating them and a recently elected state senator.
When he finds that evidence in his chef's knife case, Thad
fears for his life and the life of those close to him in
Pinecraft. Can he get the evidence to the police before the
person tracking him gets to Thad?
A PATH MADE PLAIN is an inspirational story with a little
suspense, a little romance and many questions about life.
It's a story about trying to know what God's will for our
life is and finding direction, about new beginnings. The
characters are a varied group, all lending their voice to
carry the plot in several directions. Betsy and Thad are
strong, realistic and believable characters. Lynette
Sowell has written a dynamic inspirational novel
expressing through her characters a need for everyone to
know what they believe and in whom they believe. A PATH
MADE PLAIN is truly a charming story about a community that
really exists near Sarasota, Florida. I'd love to visit!
Betsy Yoder lives with her great aunt in Sarasota’s Pinecraft neighborhood, far from her family in Ohio. Heartbroken by a man who left her—and the Order—to marry someone else, Betsy instead pours her time and energy into her bakery, offering the village of Pinecraft delicious desserts from her Amish heritage, and is content in her hard-working yet peaceful life. Enter the formerly Amish Thaddeus Zook, a pastry chef who has moved to Pinecraft after working in restaurants among the Englisch. While Betsy nurses a hesitant heart, Thaddeus shows a similar hesitancy about rejoining an Amish community. Though neither can deny the attraction between them, Thaddeus is hiding a past that could threaten their future together. Betsy has lost one love already; dare she risk loving another who has adopt Englisch ways? Or will Thad listen to the call of the open road and move on again . . . without the love of his life?
