Promise at Pebble Creek by Lisa Jones Baker is the 6th novel in the Hope Chest of Dreams series. This book can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series. This is a sweet Amish story about faith, love, and trusting God. I thought the story contained good writing with friendly characters. The book was easy to read, and it moved along at a good pace. I liked Hannah Lapp who loved to read adventure stories and began writing one. Marcus Jackson is a kind man who recently found Christ. He wants a fresh start that takes him away from his troublesome brothers. I like that Marcus is trying to follow his heart as directed by his mother before her passing. Marcus and Hannah have an instant connection. Unfortunately, Hannah is Amish and Marcus, while a Christian, is an Englischer. There are only three solutions to this problem. What path does God have planned for Marcus and Hannah? Someone robbed the local bakery, and it has the community up in arms. Marcus is a suspect as the newcomer to the area. Hannah knows that he would not commit the crime, but how does she prove it? Promise at Pebble Creek is a sweet, heartwarming story. Faith and relying on God were two of the big elements in this tale. We can plan all we want, but we do not know that is the path God has planned for us. We need to pray and rely on Him. I liked that Hannah and Marcus had deep faith. They both prayed to God for guidance and help. Hannah�s shades of blue quilt sounded beautiful. The author gave us vivid descriptions of it. It was nice to return to Pebble Creek with its lovely vista. It is a special place that has touched many couples in the area. It was great the way Hannah�s brother, Ben supported Marcus. Ben became a good friend to Marcus and helped him on his faith journey. I loved the epilogue that nicely wrapped up the book. I am sorry that this is the end of the series. I like how Sam�s hope chests played a part in each tale including this one. Each hope chest is a work of art. Promise at Pebble Creek is a touching Amish tale with an alarming robbery, a cherished hope chest, a kindhearted newcomer, an exquisite quilt, an imaginative jelly maker, and firm faith.
