Synopsis

An Old Flame Brings a Spark of New Hope

En Alt Maedel—an old maid.

At age twenty-nine, that's what Eva Lapp considers herself. And who could argue with her? Finding a good Amish husband at her age will be next to impossible. Plus, Eva's unwarranted bad reputation in Lancaster County precedes her. Maybe living the Englisch life would be better.

Squeezed out of her childhood home by her brother's boisterous family, Eva finds lodging and a new job managing a small café at a local plant nursery. But the challenge of her new position isn't enough to distract from her current predicament.

To Eva's surprise, her first love, Jake Miller, suddenly returns to Lancaster County. Flooded with emotions and filled with questions about Jake's past, can Eva trust what she's feeling?

Jake and Eva face many obstacles in their quest for a fresh start in the community, but perhaps with God's help, they can find the redemption they both desperately need.

Goodreads review by Laura on October 30, 2017

STARTING FROM SCRATCH is a great new Amish romance from acclaimed author Kate Lloyd. Written in first person, you are in Eva's head and privy to only her thoughts and opinions, which leaves the reader guessing. Will Eva find someone to love? Jake is back, but rumors abound that he'd married another.......more

Goodreads review by Diana on April 10, 2018

I have read all of Kate's books but I think this is my favorites so far. Well written characters. Story of a past love who comes back and think he is automatically going to be accepted. Eva Lapp is 29 and pretty much believes her life is not going to include a husband or children. Things are changin......more

Goodreads review by Sunnie on April 03, 2018

I really enjoy Kate Lloyd's Amish books and this one added to that feeling! This was a book of redemption, of misconstrued gossip and misunderstanding of truth. As Jake and Eva try to redeem themselves, things seem to get in the way of that goal. Yet they continue to work towards that goal. This book h......more
