Publisher's summary

The Amish residents of Willow Ridge share their talents at the Simple Gifts crafts shop - and share the blessings of faith, hard work, and love with their community - even when family secrets bring unexpected challenges....

Making rugs for Simple Gifts has taught Loretta Riehl that an unassuming pattern can reveal surprising depth. People, too, have a way of defying first impressions. Drew Detweiler came to Willow Ridge under a cloud, but the handsome craftsman has gained the community's respect for his upholstery skills and commitment to making amends for his mistakes. As her new brother-in-law's twin, he's joining the family for dinners and Sunday visits at the Riehl house, and Loretta can't deny enjoying his attentions.

If only her dat were willing to let a little joy into his life. Cornelius Riehl grows more stern with each passing day, and Drew suspects there's more to his moods than missing Loretta's late mamm. Hoping to fulfill Loretta's wish to live in a peaceful, happy home again, Drew sets out to learn the truth. It's a journey that will bring to light painful realities - but also the chance to forge a new, honest, and loving future together.

A Simple Wish

Enjoyed the story and learning more about the Amish lifestyle am hoping to read more books in the series

Absolutely Amazing!

This book was a great read. I didn't want to put it down. Ready for the next one in the series.

Wonderful story

I love all of these books and the performance is so good. She draws you into the lives of all of the characters in the book.

This is a good story that I recommend for all ages 13 and up.

This is a good story that portrays how beautiful and blessed ones life can be when they change their ways. It doesn’t matter what road a person walked on in life once they repent and find forgiveness it’s not too late to change your ways and live a blessed life. I was glad to read about Drew after he had confessed his wrong and made things right. Also portrayed in the story with Larreta is something we don’t often admit to ourselves. We may think we want to walk one way in life or with one certain person but if we just wait before rushing into the decision we may find that there is a much better road for us in life.

great new installment

I have read all of the Charlotte Hubbard simple gifts and seasons books and I like them all but I do have to admit that on the last book I had a soft spot for Drew and I’m really glad he got his own story in this book

Review of A Simple Wish

I really enjoyed this sequel to A Simple Wish. I would like to know what happens to Rebecca, Corneleus and the oldest Reill sister. It was well written and I did not expect the reason for Cornelius trips to Kansas City nor the present outcome.
