I love anything by Amy Clipston. I have read this book twice now and found that I loved it just as much the second time if not even more. This story was really meaningful to me because it showed that sometimes I just need to listen. What might be good for me, might not be the best for everyone else. Rebecca was taught this lesson as she struggled with keeping her worldly nieces in her Amish home. Rebecca wanted them with her because that is what her sister Grace wanted. Rebecca was torn between her nieces, her husband and her Amish community. Rebecca is forced to listen to everyone's needs and found that they were not necessarily what she wanted, but she was able to do what was best for everyone.Product details

A Gift of Grace Kauffman Amish Bakery Series (Audible Audio Edition) Amy Clipston Devon O' Day Zondervan Books Reviews
This book is the first book in the Kauffman Amish bakery series. This book I do have to say was pretty amazing and hit close to home for me. I can relate to the main character Rebecca. The story starts off this Rebecca getting custody of her two teenage daughters after there parents die. In the many books that I have read and the stories I have heard about the Amish they forgive no matter what, they believe its God's will. In this book that is the same however it also deals with the loss of not being able to become pregnant and how she struggles with it, and how she feels her husband is upset over this. I personally have been dealing with my struggles on pregnancy so when I read this I felt like God was using this book to bring me comfort in his way and its his will not ours.
This book also talked about forgiveness and really listening to God and what he has to say. Now Amy had the mother in law in this book keep saying, "Are you listening to God?" and I have not really thought about that are we really listening to God or are we listening to our hearts, and thinking its Gods voice we are hearing. In the book Rebecca is left to figure that out and as she struggles with that there are trials that come up that she has to deal with and work through all while trying to stay still and listen to Gods sweet voice.
I would recommend this book to just about anyone and if you are dealing with loss or struggling to sit still to listen to Gods voice then I believe you will find comfort in this book. I also like how the author has included many recipes in this book.
Both Lyndsay and Jessica are two teenagers are about to move in with their aunt Rebecca because their mother has died. If dealing with their mother's death wasn't hard enough, they now have to adapt to an Amish lifestyle which is a quite hard thing to do when you are a teenager who is addicted to all sorts of electronic gadgets. Especially when many of them are electrical appliances. Both girls are scared and a little reluctant to leave their godmother behind. Jessica the oldest has the hardest time adjusting as Lyndsay is a little younger and adapting to a new environment is a bit easier to do. Jessica ends up working in her Uncle Daniel's furniture store while Lyndsay ends up working at the Kaufman bakery with Rebecca.
While Jessica struggles with all kinds of rules of being Amish, Lyndsay ends up flourishing in her new home. I really felt for Jessica as she was struggling in her new household as it's apparent that she's overall a good kid, but just not comfortable in this new environment. She yearns to be able to go back to her hometown and live but she doesn't want to leave her sister behind either. However the longer she stays with her Aunt Rebecca the more miserable she becomes.
The troubles with Jessica start to put a strain on Daniel and Rebecca as maybe their farm isn't the place for the two girls. But Rebecca really wants to make things work as God hasn't blessed her and Daniel with a kid of their own and she really likes this chance she's been given. How will this family be able to come together and what if both girls aren't meant to live with Rebecca forever?
The book also introduces you to several other characters that you will likely see in the subsequent books in the series as this is the first one. If you like Amish stories this definitely was as good as some of the other ones I've read on my .
