Veronica Fisher is a mess. Her fiancé Seth has just died in a tragic barn
accident, and he was her one true love. She is deeply rooted in her Amish
faith but can't understand why God took away the love of her life. While
cleaning out her attic, trying to stay busy and not deal with her grief,
Veronica finds an old recipe box from her Grandmother. The raspberry pie
recipe is what brings hope and a second chance to Veronica's life. My
heart was breaking so much for Veronica and all she was going through. I
wanted to give her a great big hug and at the same time, shake her a little
and make her see what was waiting for her if she would just open up her
eyes and heart. THE FORGOTTEN RECIPE is the first book in the Amish
Heirloom series.
Jason Huyard was Seth's best friend. He was in the barn when the
accident happened and has been dealing with a lot of grief and guilt over
Seth's death. He finds himself wondering if he could have saved Seth's life
and has been having nightmares over it. He knows in his heart that it was
Seth's time to go home to God, but he can't seem to help himself,
wondering if things could have been different. THE FORGOTTEN RECIPE
is going to pull at your heart as Jason tries to deal with the memories of
Seth that are haunting him constantly. He tries to keep this secret from Veronica, but he
knows he
must tell her even though he is afraid of how she will react when she hears it.
I have been enjoying Amy Clipston's stories for many years and THE
FORGOTTEN RECIPE is exactly why. The twists and turns in Veronica
and Jason's lives pop up when you least expect them. Amy pulls you right
in and makes you feel as if you are right there experiencing all the heart
wrenching feelings her characters are. When I hear Amy Clipston
has a new book coming out, I run to it. She is quickly becoming one of my
favorite Amish authors, and I devour her stories very quickly. I love how her
stories allow me to escape my reality and puts me right in the middle of
Amish country.
SUMMARY
After losing her fiancé in a tragic accident, Veronica Fisher
finds solace in the old recipes stored in her mother’s hope chest—and
in a special visitor who comes to her bake stand to purchase her old-
fashioned raspberry pies.
Veronica Fisher knows how lucky she is to be marrying her best
friend. Seth Lapp is kind, hardworking, and handsome—but most
importantly, he loves Veronica.
When an accident on the job steals Seth away from her, a heartbroken
Veronica is certain she will never love—or be loved—again. Yet when
she discovers a batch of forgotten recipes and opens a bake stand to
sell her Mammi’s raspberry pies, Veronica picks up a regular customer
who gives her heart pause.
Jason Huyard was with Seth when he lost his life—a memory that haunts
him still. So when he seeks out the grieving fiancée to convey his
condolences, the last thing he expects—or wants—is to fall in love.
Nonetheless, Jason soon finds himself visiting Veronica’s bake stand
every week . . . and it’s for more than the raspberry pies.
Now, as Veronica’s heart thaws, Jason can’t bring himself to tell her
he was there when Seth died. Can he ever reveal where he was on the
day her life derailed? Or will his secret rob them of the second
chance at love they both want?
