First Line Friday- Marry Me, Millie

Happy Friday. This weekend our oldest daughter is coming home for a visit and we haven’t seen her since July because she lives in Iowa. I probably won’t get much reading done but we are really looking forward to this visit. For my First Line Friday, I am choosing an author that is an automatic read for me when she publishes a new book. This one is her upcoming release, Marry Me, Millie.

“Who’s that?” At her aunt’s question, Millie Bauman stopped pouring water into the little foam cups and gazed out across Thomas Kurtz’s yard.

GoodReads Synopsis

Award-winning, USA Today bestselling author Amy Lillard’s uplifting new series unites a “Widows Club” of women who share solace, friendship, and faith in the Amish community of Paradise Valley, Missouri. In this series starter, a young pregnant widow running a B&B meets a handsome outsider who begins to make her believe in love again.

When her young husband died unexpectedly, Millie Bauman thought her life was over too–until she learned she was carrying his child. Now, as she awaits the baby’s arrival, Millie’s sure her future will revolve around motherhood, the B&B she runs with her Aunt Sylvie, and the beloved Whoopie Pies her Widows Club whips up each week. But when a handsome newcomer arrives in town, Millie is intrigued, and the club wonders if Millie might find a second chance at love…

Henry King plans to stay in Paradise Valley long enough to take care of some family business, and hopefully mend the heartache of his own lost love. As Henry and Millie cross paths, it’s clear their neighbors are gently trying to play matchmaker. Not wanting to disappoint, the two pretend to play along–but life gets complicated when a true and tender affection grows. As Millie gets ready to welcome her baby, they must rely on faith and fate to decide if they should risk their hearts on love again…
