A place at our table

Amy Clipston

Large print - 2018

Kayla Dienner has suffered her fair share of heartache, which is why she vows to protect her heart at all costs ... until she meets Jamie Riehl. 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? The first book in the Amish Homestead series, A Place at Our Table invites us to a quiet community in Lancaster County where love burns brightly no matter the cost.

Review by Library Journal Review

Volunteer firefighter and Amish farmer -Jamie Riehl first meets Kayla Dienner while dousing a blaze at her family's barn. When he rescues her younger brother, Nathan, from the flames, the boy begins to dream of becoming a firefighter. Kayla's older brother was killed in a house fire, and she is not happy that Jamie is encouraging Nathan. Although the mutual attraction between Kayla and Jamie is growing, an unexpected tragedy tears their relationship apart. Will they be able to reconnect and acknowledge their love? Clipston's (The Beloved Hope Chest) Amish novels stand out from the pack owing to heartfelt character development that is seamlessly integrated into the story line and setting. VERDICT This debut title in a new series offers an emotionally charged and engaging read headed by sympathetically drawn and believable protagonists. The meaty issues of trust and faith make this a solid book group choice. © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
