“I really loved this story!!! Cassie and Martin were best friends UNTIL he left the Amish community. It's been 3 years. He's not shunned by the community, but also not baptized, so he isn't accepted either. He came back ONLY to set up his beehives, but Cassie convinced him to stay for 3 months and help her set up her bakery. Her family okays him helping her, but only if he agrees he's there only on a "temporary basis." Cassie and Martin have always had strong feelings for each other, but I think neither of them were ever aware of it. But their families were not blind to it, and kept a very watchful eye on them as they worked on the bakery. The problem is, that as the 3 months are moving along, neither of them is ready to be separated again. But Martin's livelihood is in the valley, and he isn't certain he could afford to live in Promise. And even if he could live there, would the Amish community ever take him back, would Cassie's father permit him to ever court her?!
Wonderful story, and I love that we see someone with autism featured in this story. He is the main character, and I love how the author writes in some of the struggles that he faces because he is autistic. He was represented in this story very well, and I love that Cassie just "gets" Martin and she is his peace" when he is overwhelmed.”

“I loved returning to the town of Promise amongst the Amish and their way of life and visiting with old friends. This book is the story of Cassie Weaver, a baker and Martin Beiler a beekeeper that have been friends since childhood but separated for a while. Cassie has been sweet on Martin since they were younger and she's the only one that has truly understood him.
This was such a sweet story and I loved how the author has made the lead character someone who is in the spectrum. I don't think I have read any stories where the lead has Autism and is being portrayed in a very positive way. I know she has written about this topic before in a previous book and she truly does a fantastic job.
Overall I really enjoyed this story, it was full of sweet romance and faith. If you enjoy reading Amish you need to ass Amy to your list of need to read authors!
I received a copy of this book for review. I was not required to post a positive review. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.”
