A cousin offers her a teaching position to help her cope with her loss. But that opens up the way to new set of problems. Rachel befriends a little boy, John, who needs some special tutoring, and in the process, she becomes enamored with John’s much older brother, Mike. The brothers have their own problems: their dad is very sick. This novel contains much anguish with all the heartache involved, yet still it is a tale of hope. The author does a very good job of portraying characters in these unhappy circumstances. Readers of the first novel will see a similarity of personalities between the two older sisters, in that it takes their mother to convince them to give their respective beaus another chance. And mom is still guarding a secret from her past. This novel is well written, compelling, and recommended for readers of Amish fiction. An emotionally moving heartbreaking story that makes you want to reach into the book and hold both Mike and John to let them know that they will be ok. Rachel finds a picnic basket in the attic which belongs to her Mamm which has a very touching story behind it. She fixes meals for Mike and his younger brother John who lost their Mamm and who’s Daed has kidney disease. Mike is overwhelmed trying to take care of everybody and everything. With Rachel’s persistence and delicious Mike eventually excepts her help. This is a story that is very personal to the author and I for one, think for that reason, The Courtship Basket, is the most outstanding story I have read of Amy’s. I received a complimentary copy (or ARC) of this book from the author via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to write a review, and all options expressed in this review are completely my own. I adore this series - I am always sad when Clipston finishes one series, but happy to know that she always has another at the ready. Fortunately, the third book in this series is coming out within a week, so I won't have to wait too long. I really like the youngest sister, Emily, and I know her story is coming next, which just might be the most emotionally intense of the three. I admit it, I drug my feet at reading this because it didn't look like there was much murder, mayhem, and mystery. And, I was right. However, I was also very wrong...this book was fantastic. The book opens up with Rachel overhearing her boyfriend, David speaking quietly to another woman at her sister Veronica's wedding reception...and of course, Rachel is left with a broken heart and dreams of her own marriage are shattered. Trying to rebuild her life without the prospects of marriage on the horizon, Rachel takes a teaching job at the special school. On her first day, she meets John....a good bu who happens to be very troubled and needing attention. Headstrong and stubborn, Rachel sets out to find out what is going on in John's life at home...and she learns the hard way that she was out of line... I don't want to spoil the story, so, I encourage you to read this book...and make sure you have a tissue handy. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
