Review
"Beckstrand has written a sweet romance with a lot of heart that offers a new, refreshing take on the overused matchmaking trope. The storyline is feasible, the characters are well written, with both their strengths and weaknesses on display. Readers will treasure this series and put the first outing on their keeper shelf." --RT Book Reviews, 4 1/2 stars

Huckleberry Hill -- what a delightful, fun read! If you're a fan of Amish fiction and want to enjoy a refreshing, entertaining story, Jennifer Beckstrand's first book in her Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series is just the thing for you.
Lia and Moses are a couple of young Amish adults whose connection is enjoyable from the very beginning. Annie and Felty are grandparents who would be an absolute joy to meet. And Rachel is a spoiled Amish brat. As I read their story, I found myself smiling, close to laughing out loud, and then wanting to shake some sense into some of the characters.
I don't know how many books Jennifer intends to write in this series -- Annie and Felty have lots of grandchildren who would benefit from their matchmaking -- but I certainly look forward to reading them all!
Thanks to Jennifer Beckstrand for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Huckleberry Hill is an inspirational romance by Jennifer Beckstrand, the bestselling author who delivers gentle love in a harsh world. It is refreshingly sweet, and the adorable characters peopling the story make it a memorable one.
The first book in the projected The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series, Huckleberry Hill introduces the players in the story as Jennifer paints a sweeping canvass of the characters as she only can. As a result of her painstaking efforts, one is able to easily identify or relate with the characters and the unfolding story. Readers who read this book will not want to miss the next installment, Huckleberry Summer, and the third one, Huckleberry Christmas.
Lia Shetler is not your average next-door-girl. Age is fast catching up with her, and she is fast heading toward the wrong side of a marriageable age. Carrying a scar from a burn, she is tall and her parents have already resigned her to being a spinster. But Lia is kind, good-hearted and embodies all the virtues an Amish girl should possess. She has a heart of gold. Her younger sister Rachel is beautiful, spoiled and the family is on the lookout for a suitable husband.
On the other side of the story is Anna Helmuth, affectionately called Mammi, and Felty Helmuth, also known as Dawdi, who together have raised thirteen children over the course of their journey of over eighty years. They are both God-fearing and deeply cares for their family. Anna is worried about the personal life of her grandson Moses Zimmerman, who she finds is miserable. And she is determined to find him a wife. But Moses is equally determined to wait for his fiance Barbara, who left him and the Amish community three years ago. He's loyal and believes that she will return and marry him someday.Read more ›

I just finished reading this page turner of a book. I loved it, and especially the Grandparents, they are so adorable. Although we do find out how Felty can stand to eat his wife's cooking. To cute!! They compliment each other so well, who wouldn't want Grandparents like them.
There is more to the story then the meddling Grandparents, yes they tried to manipulate their Grandson, Moses, into forgetting the girl that left the Amish Church, with a sweet Amish girl, from another district. Felty and Anna were so taken with Lia when they attended a funeral that they had her come to their home for the summer, under the pretense of helping them.
Little do the unsuspecting you couple know, these two plotting sweeties have in mind for them. Not all is rosy. We have parents that push one daughter over another, actually making one a brat, for lack of a better word. This happens in all cultures, and the one that is pushed aside, has a had time a hard time with self worth. So sad that even when they don't mean to do it, they hurt one of their children.
I really enjoyed all the happenings here, some scary, but so very possible. I also can't wait for the next book in this series. I wanted to steal these Grandparents, Sixty plus years together!! Yeah! Delightful!!
I received this book from the publisher Kensington, and was not required to give a positive review.

How love can confuse how you think. Selfish sisters and how they try to mess up love and fathers who favors one sister over another. I enjoyed reading this book. It's been a rainy day and the story captured me into reading all day till I finished it.

Huckleberry Hill is the first book in the new series, the Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill, by the very witty, talented, and captivating author (can you tell she's one of my favorite authors yet?), Jennifer Beckstrand.
The last sentence in the first paragraph had me smiling...
"Moses is miserable, absolutely miserable. We must find him a wife."
The last sentence of the second paragraph had me telling my daughter that she needed to read this book...
"You mean Moses, our grandson? He doesn't seem miserable to me."
After the third paragraph, she lost me...
"He won't know how miserable he is until he meets the right girl."
and for the most part, I stopped responding to everyone and everything until I finished the book!
If I could read a book this entertaining every week... well, it's probably a good thing I can't, because I actually had to take a vacation day, just so I could finish the book!
Yeah, I could have put it aside and picked it up later to finish, but the point I'm trying to make is,
"it was worth it!"
Now for a little back story... I bought this book because just reading the back cover, I was convinced that I would enjoy reading it. At the time, my daughter didn't think she would care for a story where the grandparents act as matchmakers, but it didn't take long for her to see how much I was enjoying the story, especially since I had told her while I was reading page one that she needed to read it because she would absolutely love it!
Jennifer has a wonderful way with words; she pulls the reader into the story right from the first page because she makes the characters seem so real that you can easily picture them.Read more ›
