Description
Book Synopsis
The endearingly irrepressible matchmaking grandparents Anna and Felty Helmuth have helped generations of their Wisconsin community - including many of their own grandchildren - find love over the course of USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Beckstrand's beloved Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series. But this time, instead of making a new match, can they help one heartbroken couple maintain theirs? Martha Sue Helmuth wishes she could just relax and enjoy her extended visit with her beloved grandparents. Instead, she is nursing a broken heart over gentle widower Yost Beiler. Yost's thirteen-year-old son, Jonah, refuses to accept Martha Sue, and she refuses to risk coming between them. For now, she is just trying to avoid her Mammi's choice of yet another eligible suitor. But when Yost moves himself and Jonah to Huckleberry Hill to change Martha Sue's mind, she can't help dreaming that somehow, some way, she and Yost will have a miraculous second chance to be together . . . After his wife's untimely death, Yost did everything he could to help Jonah through his grief. He hopes that Martha Sue's outgoing family--and her generous ways--will show his son how loving and trustworthy she truly is. But Anna and Felty's matchmaking antics are inspiring Jonah to drive Martha Sue off for good. And when he goes too far, can Yost and Martha Sue find the understanding to forgive him--and the strength to prove they can overcome differences to make one joyous forever family? "A heart-warming story of faith, hope, and second chances. The story will captivate readers who love the Amish culture and enjoy an endearing romance." --Amy Clipston, bestselling author of A Place at Our TableReview Quotes

Second Chances on Huckleberry Hill by Jennifer Beckstrand is a delightful Amish tale. I always look forward to returning to Huckleberry Hill. Anna and Felty Helmuth are a joy to visit. Anna always has something up her sleeve and Felty goes along because he loves his wife. I like Jennifer Beckstrand’s writing style. It is relaxed and engaging. It reminds me of chatting with old friends. The story is told from Martha Sue, Jonah, and Yost’s point of view in alternating chapters. I like that we get to see what each one is thinking and feeling. Jonah’s chapters are especially illuminating. The characters are developed and relatable. I like that we get to see them learn and grow. I enjoyed getting to know Martha Sue, Yost, and Jonah. Jonah is certainly a clever boy who can think up devilish pranks. Vernon Schmucker cannot take a hint. I understood why Anna kept inviting him to dinner, but Vernon is full of himself. I can see why he is not married and lives with his mother. If I was Martha Sue, I would have had Jonah play a prank or two on Vernon. I like that we get to catch up with characters from the previous books in the series. I laughed, chuckled, and giggled while reading this story. Anna should be banned from cooking. Some of her food combinations made me want to gag. Felty is the perfect mate for her since his tastebuds suffered from a burn (he cannot taste a thing). Anna is still knitting and always has a potholder ready to hand out to a potential beau for one of her grandchildren (or someone who could use a pick me up). Anna’s yarn colors are akin to her cooking choices (colorful). Second Chances on Huckleberry Hill is the eleventh novel in The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series. While it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading this entire series. You will find yourself laughing frequently and wondering which relative will be Anna’s next victim (she is bound to run out of grandchildren). Second Chances on Huckleberry Hill is a story of second (and third) chances, forgiveness, grace, Amish faith, family, and love. I found myself staying up late to finish the story while all the while not wanting the book to end. Second Chances on Huckleberry Hill is an entertaining Amish tale with a matchmaking Mammi, stomach-churning cooking creations, painful pranks, an irksome suitor, a dutiful Dawdi, a plethora of potholders, and a second chance romance.

You wouldn't want to miss even a single book from this author. Every book she writes, leaves you wanting more! And book 11 in this series was exactly that! More please! The author has another hit! I love a good matchmaker story starring Felty and Anna and this was wonderful. The humor, the emotions and family relationships were well captured and I hate to see that I am nearing the end of the book as I am reading. I love this light-hearted writing style that gives you that "feel-good" feeling at the end of the book. Don't miss this one!!
