Publisher's summary

Along with his volunteer work at the local fire department, running his Amish farm keeps Jamie Riehl busy. He barely has time to eat at the family table, never mind find someone to date. But when he meets Kayla Dienner, he is smitten.

Kayla tries hard to deny her attraction to Jamie. After all, she's spent the last year discouraging her younger brother, Nathan, from becoming a firefighter. The death of their older brother in a fire a year ago is fresh in her mind - she can't bear the idea of putting her heart on the line every time the sirens blare.

Then tragedy strikes, and Jamie wants to extinguish any flame between him and Kayla. Can Kayla set aside her own fears to save the love she was determined to deny?

Kept my attention

The story was very interesting. The narrator's voice did not always match the level of emotion described, but was mostly appropriate and pleasant to listen to, I felt the frustration of the characters with them.

So rich with commitment.

This book brought their daily lives out more and gave verses to backup the reasons for their beliefs.

Amy Clipston

Amy never fails to deliver a great story!! I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

A beautiful story of new Love and Grief

Any Clipston writes with a great insight into how grief and blame effects each of us. This book is wonderfully narrated with effective voice influx. Enjoyed the book.

Answers From Heaven

This story was a mix of overcoming guilt and family relationships. It is a reminder to the reader that famiy members need one another to help them through difficult times. It points the reader to the Lord God as the one who heals broken relationships when people call upon him in prayer.

Enjoyable book!

Really enjoyed this book. I will be listening to more by this author and this narrator.

always good read or listen

always a good read or listen. enjoy the series books as I like to revisit characters

Great Story

I really liked this book, but I feel the characters from the Kaufman series were better developed/more real.

I truly enjoyed this book.

everyone that love Amish books should read the story I truly enjoyed it so much

A Place at Our Table

I am listening to this series a second time. As before as always enjoy the Amish series. It has been a while and had not remembered the full story.
There is something that I would like to share about the narration. Have had to learn this on my own. When the voice might seem spoken a bit fast or too slow, it is time to check out the voice with the bottom voice speed. Testing one setting one way or another. Most stories are set correctly, but some do need an adjustment. Some narrators are purposely slower. If you change it one setting either way to the liking of your ear. I had to learn this on my own. Hopefully this hint might help others. Now off to start “Room on the Porch Swing”. Book 2
