New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray--one of the most beloved voices in inspirational romance--welcomes readers back to Apple Creek, Ohio, a bright and bustling Amish community where a fairy tale romance is in bloom--but getting to happily ever after may require seeing love through new eyes . . .Perfect for fans of Beverly Lewis, Suzanne Woods Fisher, Charlotte Hubbard, this second installment in The Amish of Apple Creek is rich with warmth and utterly endearing characters sure to enchant readers looking for a sweet twist on the classic Beauty and the Beast tale. May Schott would do anything to change the tragic moment when she stepped too close to the fire that left her best friend, Carl Hilty, devastatingly burned. After Carl left Apple Creek for extensive surgeries, May patiently prayed for one chance to ask his forgiveness. Now, six years later, Carl Hilty is coming home. The reunion goes nothing like May anticipated. Overwhelmed with emotion at seeing Carl again, she is speechless, unable to look away. And Carl's own stone-cold silence leaves her certain that whatever attraction they once shared has been replaced by his hatred of her. After hiding in the shadows of the big city, Carl has returned to connect with his family and to see if May can overlook his scars and accept his love--but it seems she wants nothing to do with him. He grudgingly agrees to stay with his family for a time before retreating once again. . . . But in Apple Creek, it's easy to miss what everyone around you sees plain as day. For two people who belong together, it will take a few helping hands to heal the hurts of the past and make a miraculous new beginning.

A thoughtful Amish tale!
Once Upon a Buggy by Shelley Shepard Gray is a story about forgiveness. I thought the story was well-written with realistic, developed characters. The characters suited the story. I like that this story is different from other Amish novels. A barn fire has caused so much pain, bitterness, guilt, and tension. I could certainly relate to May�s actions during the fire. We never know how we will react to a situation until we are in it. Friendship, family, love, guilt, and forgiveness are the main themes. I enjoyed the story�s ending. It is one that made me smile. Once Upon a Buggy is the second book in The Amish of Apple Creek series. While Once Upon a Buggy can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading Happily Ever Amish first. I like that we get to see how our relationships affect those close to us (family and friends). It can even have a negative impact on a community. I liked the cover of the book. It really suited the story plus it is an eye-catching image. There is humor sprinkled throughout the story thanks to some quirky alpacas. I found their behavior to be amusing. It was interesting learning about alpacas and their temperaments. Once Upon a Buggy is a thoughtful and emotional tale with a ferocious fire, a lost love, temperamental alpacas, feuding families, and finding forgiveness.
