The Course of True Love is Never Smooth
Lizzie is only willing to go on her honeymoon if Jane takes care of her bakery, and her beloved cat, Little Mouse. Lizzie is barely gone when Little Mouse disappears.
Samuel, Jane’s crush since grade school, has volunteered to try to find Little Mouse, along with helping with repairs at the bakery. Unknown to Jane, Samuel, has liked her since they were children, but was also responsible for her hurtful nickname, Plain Jane.
Samuel has not wanted to admit his responsibility for the nickname, so has wasted many years not telling Jane how he feels.
Out of the blue, an interloper starts trying to steal Jane’s affections. Just when it seems Samuel will make a clean breast of things, and tell her his feelings, everything blows up between them.
All kinds of things start going wrong, including Samuel’s life hanging in the balance. Jane is devastated by that, along with the continued loss of Little Mouse.
This is a very enjoyable story that will draw you in–you won’t want to stop reading it. There are lots of twists and turns, along with some very interesting side stories.
I liked that the faith of the characters is included, that this is a clean read, and the way it ends. Fans of well-written Amish tales will enjoy this five-star story.
Thanks to Barbour Books, for providing Tickmenot with a complimentary copy of, “Plain Jane’s Secret Admirer,” by Anne Blackburne, for the purpose of review. Opinions are my own.
