In 1915 Ohio, anyone entering the Amish Charm Bakery is greeted by the sweet warmth and delicious fragrance of cinnamon and vanilla wafting from freshly baked cookies and pies.

Rachael Schlabach’s first chance for a husband ended in a tragic accident that left her with a limp. Though happy to work in the beloved Amish Charm Bakery, she hasn’t abandoned her romantic dreams, but she has focused on a widower with two adorable kinner she would love to raise as her own. Then handsome, single Caleb Yutzy arrives on the scene.

Caleb is eager to court pretty, warm-hearted Rachael, and tells her so.

Even when Caleb assures her it’s no matter, she can’t bring herself to be so selfish.

Rachael’s Decision

I loved writing this series in a bakery setting, except I gained weight just reading about the desserts and found myself craving cakes and cookies. Rachael has an interesting past, and she has a loving heart. You’ll want to laugh with her and root for her. You’ll love Caleb, and you’ll root for him, too! This book has twists, turns, and it’s full of surprises.

The most fun I have is meeting readers like you who I consider friends through social media, at conferences, and that I’ve met at Amish talks, Amish Girlfriend Getaways, and many other places. If I wasn’t writing and speaking, I would’ve never met people like you. That’s what keeps me writing. Thank you so much for your interest in my books.

My daughter, Misty, had a little girl, Jolene, and she keeps me busy, and she’s so much fun. Some days, she sits on my lap, and we write together! Thank you for joining me here today! I hope you’ll connect with me on Facebook!

My Thoughts

Rachael’s Decision by Molly Jebber takes us back to Charm, Ohio in 1915 where Rachael Schlabach works at the Charm Bakery.  An accident cost Rachael her fiancé and gave her a limp.  Since the death of Nathan Wagler’s wife, Rachael has been helping him with household chores and with his two kinner.  Rachael had hopes that Nathan would ask to court her, but he is still grieving.  One day Caleb Yutzy walks into the bakery.   Caleb is instantly attracted to Rachael.  He immediately asks her to share dinner with his family the next day.  When Caleb asks to court her, Rachael accepts, but she fails to share some news that might make him change his mind.  As Rachael begins spending time with Caleb, Nathan and his children miss her presence in their lives.  Nathan invites Rachael to dinner and asks if he can court her.  Rachael is torn between the two men.  Rachael will need God’s guidance so she can make the right decision.  

Rachael’s Decision is the sixth book in the Amish Charm Bakery series.  It can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series.  The story contains good writing with realistic characters.  The story moved at a gentle pace.  There was a good flow to the story.  I enjoyed getting to know Rachael, Nathan, and Caleb.  Nathan’s children, Joy and Thad are sweethearts.  Joy stood out to me.  She is a precocious child.  I like that we get to catch up with the characters in the other Amish Charm Bakery novels including Sheriff Williams and Dr. Harrison.  I like how the author uses Sheriff Williams and Dr. Harrison’s having breakfast and reading the paper to add historical details.  I found Rachael’s Decision to be an emotional story.  It is a story that tugs at your heartstrings.  Faith was beautifully incorporated into the story.  The characters trust God and rely on Him to guide them.  I like that they pray about a decision before making it.  I like how the characters had the love and support of family, friends, and community.   Rachael’s Decision is a poignant tale with a caring community, a bevy of baked goods, a sweet suitor, two sweet kids, an upsetting secret, and a generous God.
