About this listen
Food and friendships bind souls in an Amish kitchen.
Return to the Troyer farm, where, despite stressful changes occurring in their lives, Lyle and Heidi once again open up their Ohio home to those seeking to learn about Amish cooking.
This time six unique adults sign up. Nicole Smith - a teenager helping her divorced dad cook for the family. Lisa Brooks - a caterer needing new recipes. Todd Collins - a food critic who is curious about the way Amish women cook. Bill Mason - a member of a hunting club who always gets stuck cooking for his buddies. Allie Garrett - a police officer's wife who is given the class as an unwanted gift. Lance Freemont - a mailman who smells the good food when he delivers a package to the door.
More than recipes are exchanged, though, as friendships form, a romance blossoms, and hearts receive healing nourishment - including Heidi's own hurting heart.

Too many character stories
If you like multiple character stories, you will like this book. The story is good and ends on a satisfying note. My problem, as with the first of this series, is that there are so many characters, I lost track. I'm sure readers that like lots of characters will like this story, just not my fav.

we don't always get what we want but it turns out better!
The story took me a journey where I was led into the characters areas of despair and disappointment. And then, gradually each character took leaps of faith and dug themselves out of their own muddles of mess and found a new horizon of joy. I was personally surprised with each twist and turn in each characters development, up to the very end!
