Fresh-baked muffins fragrant with ripe blueberries ...cinnamon-scented turnovers that transform any meal into a feast. ... In 1914 Ohio, the Amish Charm Bakery holds a special place within its close-knit, faith-filled community, where love finds a way through God's grace ...even for a widow faced with an impossible choice between her head and her heart. So when a meet-cute at a wedding leads Magdelena and Toby into a cross-class romance against the wishes of her father, can they draw on their faith to follow their hearts?       As the daughter of a wealthy rancher, Magdelena Beachy may not truly need her job at the Amish Charm Bakery, but she enjoys tending to customers, be they neighbors or curious Englischers. Only one thing would make life sweeter, and that's if Toby Schlabach would court her. It's not just his dimples and smile that warm Magdelena's heart-she admires his kindness and values. Yet she worries their chance may slip away . . .     With his daed ill and his mother and sister depending on him, Toby can't yet offer Magdelena the future she deserves. But even as he nears his goal, he learns her father has arranged a match with another suitor. Magdelena risks shunning if she goes against her family. Choosing a path will take courage as well as faith-in God's plan, and in this steadfast, tender love . . .

The author always has a way to make her stories come to life. It is easy to see the Amish farms and feel part of their social gatherings because the author uses words that  are very descriptive. The town is so inviting and I feel like it would be a wonderful place to raise a family. The excitement of reading  a book from this author is hard to contain because she welcomes readers with grace and compassion through her characters. 

Magdelena  is such a sweet young woman. She is the type that is always there to help others and her ability to make people feel welcome at the bakery sure helps business. I enjoyed getting to know her parents better. I wasn't too happy with her father as he seemed arrogant at times. Amish never brag and don't think of themselves as more important than others. Magdelena's father has no problem letting people know he is wealthy and harbors the fact that he is prideful. It is so sad to know the happiness of his daughter is ignored when Magdelena is upset about a pre arranged marriage. 

Toby is so smitten with Magdelena   and it was  evident that the feelings were returned. Young love is so sweet and the author shows how they must rely on God to help them make the right decision about their future together. Toby does face a loss that shatters his family. The author guides readers through the grieving process that Toby faces and illustrates the important of surrounding yourself with Godly people who will be there to encourage you and show compassion as you go through the difficult days ahead. This part of the story really impacted me because I know a few people right now who are going through a grieving process. Like Toby, they need to know that they aren't alone. Magdelena is especially aware that  Toby needs her support during this time.  

The story takes a look at what happens when someone goes against their parents wishes. It is so hard to think that because you disagree with your parents, you would be shunned. Will Magdelena goes against her Amish upbringing to marry the man she loved? There is turmoil in the town as families are fractured and divided by their beliefs. The emotions  run high as Magdelena and Toby are torn about what  to do. This is a great book that shows how prides and  secrets can destroy trust. Don't miss this story that brings a lesson in listening to God and making amends to bring  restoration back to a family. 

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.

Choices To Make

walmart.com

Magdelena is the daughter of a wealthy rancher who wants her to marry a man that can provide for her in the way he has throughout her life. Magdelena's beau is not in her father's plan for her.  But Magdelena is determined to be with Toby, until her father arranges a match for her that fits his plans for her.  This story takes place in 1914.
This is a really engaging story and I was caught up in it right away.  What is Magdelena going to do, follow her heart or her father's choice for her?  Going against her father, will cause her serious consequences and she needs to choose.  Either way, there are things to lose. 

Toby is working hard to find favor with Magdelena's father, but is it enough?  I have not read the earlier books in the series, but felt that it was fine as a stand-alone, also.  But that said, I wouldn't mind reading the previous books, if they are as enjoyable as this one.

I received a complimentary ebook from the author and NetGalley and was not required to leave a positive review.  All thoughts are my own.

Enjoyable Amish Fiction

Great characters, a 'charming' setting, and strong Amish values are all parts of this latest book in the Amish Charm Bakery series. As we return to the gentle and peaceful Ohio community that we've come to love, it is 1914, and there's mention of the Great War that has just begun. In Charm, however, Magdelena Beachy is preparing for her own battle. She knows in her heart that Toby Schlabach is the perfect man for her, but her father has her future planned, and it doesn't include Toby!

Molly Jebber is an author who has a unique talent for drawing us in, and keeping us invested, in her stories of faith, hope, and family, but she also makes us think, and she sometimes changes our views. Magdelena's Choice offers the intriguing aspect of an Amish man who desires material possessions, and even values money, and this is an attribute that I don't usually connect with the Amish simple life. This book is a thought-provoking addition to this entertaining series, and there's an added bonus of three of Magdelena's recipes for us to enjoy. If you like historical fiction and Amish romance, you will definitely want to read Magdelina's Choice!

I received a digital copy of this book from the author via Celebrate Lit. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

Enjoyable Amish Fiction!

Magdelena's Choice is a charming story of love, forgiveness, God's will, and even a bit of intrigue. Magdelena Beachy and Toby Schlabach love each other, but there are situations beyond their control and people with different ideas of who Magdelena should be with. As a result, these situations and people are creating bumps in the road for Magdelena and Toby, thus making their journey a very painful. one. So many times I just felt great sad for them, but their relationship was so sweet and caring that other times I found myself smiling, rooting for them and cheering them on. It was an emotional roller coaster for sure, but that's part of what made it a very delightful and charming story. I recommend you read it for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

A Charming Story

This is book five in the Amish Charm Bakery series and it continues to charm me. It takes us back to a simpler time in the early 1900's in Charm Ohio. It makes me want to visit Charm and experience this. I loved that the characters have problems that we watch unfold to be solved by the end. The characters are easy to identify with as they have real thoughts and feelings instead of being perfect. This book is heartwarming as it deals with family, friendships, faith, and sweet romance while also dealing with life altering changes. I especially like that we get caught up on previous characters that feel like old friends. I look forward to more in this series especially Rachel having her own story as she is endearing. Grab this book, a hot drink, a cozy afghan and curl up for an entertaining read while the snow continues to blow.

Charming and Sweet

Magdelena's Choice by Molly Jebber is the fifth novel in the An Amish Charm Bakery series.  Each book in An Amish Charm Bakery series can be read as a standalone.  If you read them in order, it will allow you to become immersed in Charm and the lives of the ladies who work at the bakery.  I thought Magdelena's Choice contained good writing, and the story moved along at a steady pace.  I like the characters in the story.  I thought they were realistic, and their attitudes suited the time period.  We get to meet Abram and Annie Hook who have just moved to Charm.  Toby and Magdelena befriend the couple.  We get to catch up with the characters from the other four novels in the series.  I thought this was a clean, sweet Amish romance.  I was not a fan of the repetition.  Certain details are repeated over and over.  I liked the issues raised in Magdelena's Choice.  Sometimes you need to be patient and wait for God's timing.  In the meantime, you must pray and continue to do good works.  Charity Beachy was a delight.  She is such a precocious child.  She certainly knows who she wants to marry when she is old enough.  I thought Charity and Peter were adorable together.  I like how people supported Magdelena and Toby.  It can be hard to be obedient when you want to follow your heart.  The delicious items at the bakery will have your mouth watering.  You will find yourself craving whoopie pies and snickerdoodles.  Magdelena's Choice is a charming Amish tale with scrumptious pastries, a clever and crafty Charity, an insistent suitor, a forceful father, compassionate mates, and a firm faith.

A heartwarming Amish tale!
