The Farmers' Market Mishap easily picks right back up where The Lopsided Christmas Cake left off, which will be a delight for all Wanda and Jean Brunstetter fans! Twins Elma and Thelma now live across the street from each other, since Thelma's wedding to Joseph. As Thelma and Joseph begin their lives together and start to build a family, Elma lives alone in the farmhouse they once shared, and at times, feels understandably lonely. She deals with the very real human emotion of envy -- wondering if she will ever be married and raising a family. But we also see that Elma has grown a bit more mellow -- to the point of letting a few pets share her home. Her pets quickly become dear companions to her, another bit of proof that Elma's demeanor is softening. As Elma goes about the daily tasks of running the general store, could she be rekindling an old relationship -- or is there someone new in her life who will win her heart? As readers, we are left guessing right up until the very end! Another treat for the reader are the recipes that follow the story, at the end of the book. Another wonderfully heartwarming read by the writing team of Wanda and Jean Brunstetter!
I received an advanced copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
