If you enjoy Amish fiction with a funny and romantic twist
HUCKLEBERRY SPRINGS is the read for you. Grandmother
(Mammi), Anna Helmuth, and grandfather, Felty, (Dawdi)
are
at it again. They have thirteen children and have been
happily
married for sixty-four years. They are born matchmakers.
They have
been very successful in uniting couples and have their
grandson Ben and his estranged fiance, Emma Nelson in
their
sights. About eight months ago, Ben abruptly
broke his engagement to Emma and moved to Florida. It is
time for Grandmother and Grandfather to continue their
escapades into match making, and unite Ben and Emma.
Mammi
has a plan. She just needs Dawdi to look at her assorted
brochures on surgeries, and pick the one he wants. Next
they notify Ben they need him to help on the farm at
Hucklebery Springs until Grandfather recuperates. To get
Emma back to the farm, Grandmother invites her over to the
farm and asks that she plant a giant pumpkin for her just
like the one Emma grew last year. No one says No to
Mammi.
Emma consents and agrees to return the next day.
Grandmother's stage is set for a reunion for Emma and Ben,
and hopefully a happily ever after. Grandfather picked
nasal surgery!
Emma has never gotten over her love for Ben and cries each
time she thinks of him. Klutzy and
accident prone, she believes that is why Ben broke their
engagement and moved away to Florida. Everyone loves
sweet
Ben and when he returns they are happy to see him and want
to help him any way they can. However, Ben remains
stubborn, wants Emma happily married to someone
else....anyone else...he even sets her up with a bunch of
his friends. No way. Emma has her heart set on Ben and
nobody else will do. Time for grandfather to pick
another
surgery: planter's warts?
HUCKLEBERRY SPRING is the fourth in the Matchmaker's of
Huckleberry
Hill and Ms. Beckstrand does a great job at keeping
your
interest. Her story is about sweet friendships and
sweeter
love. Anna and Felty are adorable and so funny. Lizzie
and
Mahlon were a ton of laughs. The ending was not a
surprise
to me but coming very soon is the sequel Blueberry
Harvest.
I'll be sure to check it out and see what the matchmakers
are up to next.
Nothing gives Anna and Felty Helmuth greater satisfaction
than seeing their grandchildren happily
married--except for planning their next matchmaking
venture.
And as springtime comes to Huckleberry
Hill, Wisconsin, the air is filled with promise. . .
Ever since the Helmuths' grandson, Ben, abruptly broke his
engagement and moved to Florida, Emma Nelson
has kept busy tending her vegetable garden and raising
award-winning pumpkins. She can put her
heartache aside to help Ben's Mammi with her own pumpkin
patch. At least until Ben shows up to lend
support to his ailing Dawdi. . .
Gardening side by side with pretty, nurturing Emma is a
sweet kind of torture for Ben. She could have
her pick of suitors who can offer what he can't, and he
cares too much to burden her with his secret.
Leaving once more is the only option. Yet Emma's courage
is
daring him to accept the grace that
flourishes here, and the love that has been calling him
back
to Huckleberry Hill. . .
Thank you for this lovely review, Pat. I love Emma and Ben's steadiness in the face of adversity. And I hope Anna and Felty will keep people laughing. (Jennifer Beckstrand 6:25pm April 14, 2015)
