Ellie's Redemption

by Molly Jebber

Book Overview

Ellie Graber couldn't be happier working at Amish Charm-and making good on a precious chance to reunite with her Amish community. Grief over her mother's death made her rebel and try the Englischer world, but now she's home to start again. And quiet, thoughtful Joel Wenger is one of the few willing to understand her as their unexpected friendship develops into something much more . . . But no matter how hard Ellie tries, Joel's mother resolutely refuses to approve of her-much less accept her as a potential daughter-in-law. And as painful misunderstandings and a beautiful rival for Joel's affections threaten to separate the couple for good, can they bridge the gap between distrust and faith to secure a lifetime of love?

Sweet Amish Romance

Ellie's Redemption is Molly Jebber's second book in the Amish Charm Bakery series and is just as delightful as the first, Liza's Second Chance. This book has many of the same characters, yet Ellie's Redemption can be read as a stand-alone story. Reading the first will definitely fill more of the background in but this second book of the series is captivating on its own. With family members disapproving, community gossips and other gals trying to make trouble, and events from the past Ellie and Joel's romance almost seems doomed from the start. Throughout the story, readers will wonder if their future will be together and what is ahead for Ellie and Joel just as the characters themselves are wondering what God is at work doing. They both have secrets they withhold from each other and because of that their relationship is strained to the point of breaking. Love just might not be enough to ensure a future together. The characters in the book are likable and realistic and I especially liked Joel's father. He is portrayed as a compassionate and non-judgmental person who is slow to speak and gives quiet advice. Ellie's story of redemption is a wonderful blend of family, great friendships, and faith values. It is a story that lovers of Amish stories and sweet romances won't want to miss.
