A New Song at the Amish Bed & Breakfast

A Smicksburg Tale of Redemption

De: Karen Anna Vogel

As the autumn leaves whirl around Smicksburg, PA, so do two, or is it three romances.

Widow Mad Maddie is outspoken and blunt. Who wouldn’t’ be after raising twenty kinner? But deep down, she’s as sweet as her pies. And lonely. So lonely she confides in her cow, Cupcake, who listens better than humans.
Widow Miss Prim Rose is pretty, dainty and …and fragile. As fragile as one of her many teapots she collects, loving to bake teacakes and have tea parties. Problems with her natural family made her move from New York to live near her beloved Jane. (From the book, Plain Jane.)


When the bishop suggests these two women open a bed and breakfast, or else settle near one of their kin, as is the Amish way, Maddie and Rose agree, knowing it will only last a month or two. How could two such opposite people share a kitchen?


Tina Peters, a local realtor, agrees to be their English advertiser. A recent Carnegie Mellon University graduate, she’s back from living in Pittsburgh and wants to live plain and simple. Can she convince her fiancé to settle in Smicksburg? Winston has always been an urban dweller. Is Tina pushing her Amish loving ways a bit too much on him?

Granny and Jeb Weaver give them marriage counseling…but will Winston listen to Tina’s “Amish grandparents”?

Through many twists and turns, Psalm 40 is shared and pondered.
“He pulled me out of a pit… set me on a rock….and gave me a new song.”

love conquers all

I love how Granny Weaver still makes appearances and how the couples families finally accepted their marriage.
