There's nothing Huckleberry Hill, Wisconsin's irrepressible eighty-somethings Anna and Felty Helmuth like better than a challenge. And the chance to matchmake their feisty granddaughter is their most delightful task yet... Elsie Stutzman's plain-spoken ways got her in trouble once before, so she needs to make a good impression at her new teaching job. But she's not about to let disabled student Wally Sensenig work below his potential. And she definitely won't put up with his hot-headed older brother sabotaging her efforts, no matter how handsome he is. . . Sam is nearly at the end of his rope caring for his ailing, widowed mother, working their farm, and raising his siblings. He'll admit Elsie's ideas are bringing Wally out of his angry shell--but why does she have to be as stubborn as she is pretty? Yet as it turns out, Elsie has taught Sam something about himself as well. And he'll do whatever it takes to make up for his mistakes--and win her heart forever. Praise for Jennifer Beckstrand and her Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill series "Beckstrand continues to bring unexpected and heart-melting plotlines to this outstanding series." --RT Book Reviews "Full of kind, sincere characters struggling with the best ways to stay true to themselves and their beliefs." --Publishers Weekly
A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill is a story of kindly meddling, patience, pitty, manipulation, anger, sadness, Joy, love, overwhelming happiness, and most importantly Faith. You have poor Elsie who is a teacher who had to leave her community because of a few reasons, the school parents, the school board and most importantly a Relentless man who was trying to court her and she wanted no part of him-he would not take no for an answer. Then she moves in with her grandparents far away. Grandma. - Mammi - is trying to set her up with someone to get her married off. She wants no part of that. She is the teacher there. She has an extremely challenging child he is special but not so special-why? I'm not gonna say and ruin it for you-you have to get the book. So, this boy has an older brother he sicked on Elsie and boy did he fall for it -what the boy said-and he went after her, but she didn't back down and thus it began and it was exciting and you found yourself cheering and saying I cannot believe he is so blind. You get so involved in this book, it is so unbelievably worth your while. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher an Netgalley; all the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.
