But Elma has tried long-distance dating before, and it won’t work for her. Besides the store needs her. Her sister needs her. Elma feels love will forever remain beyond her grasp.

Praise for The Farmers' Market Mishap: A Sequel to The Lopsided Christmas Cake

This sequel to The Lopsided Christmas Cake is laugh-out-loud funny with memorable characters who put their needs on the backburner in order to help those they love and admire. Characters are witty, sweet and charming, some more charming than others at times. Wanda and her daughter-in-law Jean combine their talents and weave together a keeper.

The simple storyline interweaves romance, loneliness, fear, and trusting God issues with a dash of healthy eating and childrearing tips, ending with two recipes. Amish Christian fiction fans will enjoy.
