Sarah Price is starting to become a favorite Amish fiction writer of mine. This story was sweet and innocent. It also showed another way people fall in love. Sometimes it isn't two people coming together and starting fresh. Sometimes one person is meant to fit into an already made family.

Edna was determined to stay in contact with her three childhood friends. So she decided they should all get together every other Friday to bake cookies and catch up. On one such Friday, the women decide to help one another out with their daughters. First up, Verna's daughter Myrna.

Myrna is very opinionated. So much so that she has been fired from almost every shop in Shipshewana. (I travel to Shipshewana, IN at least twice a year. Every place mentioned is familiar to me. Even if I didn't Sarah Price is so good with imagery you feel like you are there.) Myrna's mother and friends decide to get her a job where her particular brand of honesty is appreciated. Myrna just so happens to be perfect to help out the widowed Ezekiel,

Ezekiel is the widowed father of 4 children all under the age of nine. Myrna agrees to assist with his children and household chores until he can find a permanent solution. The children adore Myrna. Including the cookies she learned to make from her mother, and the children start to grow on Myrna, As does their father.

This story was different from other's by Sarah Price or most books I read. Normally when Price introduces the main character she sticks with only their point of view. The Amish Cookie Club switches viewpoints more than I am used to but it is easy to keep up with. Plus, that is just like life. It's not just one person's story. Everyone else's continue as well.

What a touching story of two people who heal their brokenness together! I wasn't sure how this journey was going to play out....Myrna seems to change almost overnight, and I thought it would happen a little more gradually...but it works out nicely. I've not heard of that particular sect of Amish, but it seems like CPS would be all over that...and I'm not sure that I'd want to read a book strictly written from their perspective. It's so far from my own that it'd be difficult to relate to. However, the last few chapters explain a lot of things (no spoilers here) and make you a little more understanding. Also - the yummy recipes! My mouth is watering for cookies now!

This book is a delightful look into the lives of four Amish ladies who meet to make cookies for their church services. Close friends, they share about their children and the particular needs in their lives.

Verna’s daughter, Myrna, is very outspoken, which goes against the grain of many of the Amish, as well as the Englishers in the community. So much so, she has gotten fired of every job she has had in town and no one will hire her. The ladies decide something needs to be done and one of them learns of an Amish widower with 4 children who needs someone to help with the running of the household and care of the children. Myrna balks at this suggestion as she has never really cared for children and is not sure she is qualified.

This is a lovely story of changes in lives, realization that you can’t believe everything you hear about someone, and true understanding and love.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was a fast read and I highly recommend it. I received a copy from Kensington Books and Netgalley. This is my honest review.

I was excited when I first heard about this book as I have surely loved Sarah Price's Amish Classics and Fairytale series. I really did like this book but I could have done with less of the cookie club members and more of Zeke and Myrna. I will be picking up the next book in the series though.

This is a very well written book. The author makes you feel like you are there, you can feel all of the emotions and see all of the scenes in your mind. This book will keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. I really enjoyed reading this sweet Amish romance and loved the recipes at the end. Thank you Kensington Books Zebra via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. This is my honest opinion.

Ugh. I’m such a sucker for a good Amish story. Myrna is the problem child of the community and so a plan is hatched to get her back on the straight and narrow.
Enter Ezekiel. Widower and father of 4, he could definitely use some help.


The romance in this story is so gentle and seeet...I loved every word.

Edna, Verna, Wilma and Mary meet to make cookies for church Sundays, but naturally they discuss their children and their issues. Verna's daughter Myrna has a problem keeping a job, as she is too outspoken and has a need to organize and change things. When she is fired once again, the ladies decide to look for help, and find a widower Zeke, who has 4 young children and is trying to run a farm. She is not convinced she is qualified, since she has little experience with young children. Luckily though, it is a learning experience for her and the children. A few misunderstandings, but nature takes it course anyway. A sweet Amish romance story, and one I highly recommend.

A pleasant story set in northern Indiana. Four ladies make cookies for their respective fellowships that follow Sunday services. Known as the "Cookie Club" a sobriquet they don't like, the ladies share concerns about their children. One daughter in particular likes things her way and has managed to get fired from every Amish business in Shipshewana. The English shops have heard the stories, so there is no opportunity there. for employment. But she does secure employment helping a widower with 4 small children. Fun times ahead!
