About this book:
“Years ago, a picnic basket brought two hearts together. For Rachel and Mike, history may be about to repeat itself.
Rachel Fisher is devastated when the young man she’s loved for years leaves her to date her best friend. Her heart is broken, and she has all but given up on love. Determined to keep her mind off the pain, she starts teaching at an Amish school for children with learning disabilities.
Since his father became ill, Mike Lantz has been overwhelmed with the responsibility of providing for his family and caring for his six-year-old brother, John. When John joins Rachel’s class and she learns that his mother is deceased and his father sick, she desperately wants to help the family, even with something as simple as a meal.
With her parents’ old picnic basket, Rachel begins sending food to the Lantz family. As the weeks go by, John’s grades start to improve, and the attraction grows between Rachel and Mike. They can’t deny that their friendship is growing toward something more, but both of them are hesitant to risk a more serious relationship.
The last thing Rachel wants is another heartbreak, and Mike is worried about providing for his loved ones. Will the two be able to reconcile their past hurts with new hope for the future?”

Rating-
Ahhh! “The Courtship Basket” was so SWEET! (I think I may have a cavity,
hahaha. ;) ) Amy Clipston continues this series with Veronica’s sister, Rachel’s
story. This novel has such a sweet plot (that did have some angst that about
did me in) with such great characters. Little John was adorable, I was
rooting for Rachel & Mike, and Raymond added a very close topic to the author’s
heart.
I can’t wait to read Emily’s story
when it releases, as I’ve enjoyed every Amy Clipston book I’ve read.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
*I received this book for
free from the Author for this honest review.
