One Big Happy Family Book Two

Romance is in the air during the fall wedding season in the Amish community of Cedar Creek. But while one loving couple prepares to tie the knot, Amanda and Wyman Brubaker’s large family faces a threat from outside their happy circle…and must learn to pull together.

Recently wed Amanda and Wyman Brubaker are thrilled that their children from previous marriages have blended together to form a strong family. But when the construction of Wyman’s new grain elevator is delayed, making the project more expensive than anticipated, Amanda’s determination to rally the kids into taking on work to improve the family’s finances comes into conflict with Wyman’s sense of responsibility as head of the household….

Meanwhile, as James Graber and Abby Lambright prepare for their long-awaited nuptials, folks gather from far and wide. Amanda’s nephew Jerome has long been smitten with James’s sister Emma and wants to seize this chance to woo her. But Emma’s been burned once and is twice shy of trusting the fun-loving, never-serious Jerome. As Emma and Jerome struggle to understand each other, and find the courage to make a leap of faith, the Brubakers face a bigger challenge than they first anticipated and begin to discover just what it means to fight…the Amish way.

My Thoughts

Emma Blooms At Last by Naomi King was my first visit to Cedar Creek and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Naomi has developed wonderful characters in a beautiful setting. I really liked Emma. She is tenacious and still sweet. She’s afraid of being hurt but she still wants a chance at love. This was a really nice, clean Amish romance. The story line was sweet throughout and the conflicts were worked through in a way that worked well with the story.

About the Author

AuthorPicDrawing upon her experiences in Jamesport, the largest Old Order Amish community west of the Mississippi, longtime Missourian Naomi King writes of simpler times and a faith-based lifestyle in her Home at Cedar Creek/One Big Happy Family series. Like her series heroine, Abby Lambright, Naomi considers it her personal mission to be a listener—to heal broken hearts and wounded souls—and to share her hearth and home. Faith and family, farming and frugality are hallmarks of her lifestyle: like Abby, she made her wedding dress and the one her mom wore, too! She’s a deacon, a dedicated church musician and choir member, and when she’s not writing, Naomi loves to travel, try new recipes, crochet, and sew. Naomi, whose real name is Charlotte Hubbard, now lives in Minnesota with her husband and their border collie, Ramona.

  1. Thank you so much for featuring my book on your site today! I’m on the road doing book signings today so I won’t be replying much to comments–and thank you in advance to all of you who stop by!

  2. I love the authors bio. I use to live near an Amish community and I loved it! So it’s nice to see that she uses her background in her writing.

  3. “Romance is in the air”… I am totally in the mood for a good romance :3 Am curious about the Amish community too 😉
