A COURTSHIP ON HUCKLEBERRY HILL BY JENNIFER BECKSTRAND

About the Book

Title: A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill

Author: Jennifer Beckstrand

Genre: Christian Amish Fiction

Release Date: December 26, 2017

Elsie Helmuth’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.

LORI'S REVIEW

I simply loved it!! It's Jennifer Beckstrand at her best!

Have you ever met someone that you could tell at first glance that you weren' tgoing to like them?

Rose is that person! I wanted to strangle Rose! She got on my nerves so very bad!! I wanted to shake her to her senses so very much that's how mad she made me!! 

This is the part I didn't like. Rose is a self centered person who only think the world revolves around her. 

I don't like ppl like that. 

I really really wanted to shake Wally

too!! But I am very proud of him as well!!

Sam is a lot like me, too stubborn sometimes for his own good and many times too blind to see what's in front of him.

I just couldn't put this wonderful book down as I wanted to see what would happen with all of my new friends!

I enjoyed watching events unfold and there were times I snickered. 

I enjoyed meeting Anna and Felty

again. I'm glad to know that they're still alive and kicking 

Thanks for a wonderful story Jennifer!!! I can't say enough on how much I enjoyed your books!!

Guest Post from Jennifer Beckstrand

I have a very special place in my heart for teachers. My dad was a high school math teacher. My mother taught second grade for over twenty years. My son-in-law taught choir in high school, and my daughter taught seventh-grade science. Another daughter taught American history labs at the university and still another daughter taught classes for a youth summer program.

Elsie Stutzman is a dedicated teacher who was dismissed from her last teaching job in Ohio and is trying to make a fresh start and a good impression in Bonduel, Wisconsin. Unfortunately one of her students, Wally Sensenig, is making things difficult for her, and Wally’s hot-headed older brother seems determined to get her fired. But Elsie is a dedicated teacher, too stubborn to back down and too steadfast to give up on anybody.

Elsie’s grandparents, Anna and Felty Helmuth, have other plans for her. They want her to fall in love with one of the local boys, but they’re finding it a little difficult to get the two young people together.

Teachers have an immense impact on our lives. We all remember a favorite elementary school teacher who inspired a love of learning or a high school teacher who encouraged us to reach for greatness. One of my favorite teachers was Mrs. Zobell, who taught ninth grade English. I distinctly remember her reading “The Outsiders” out loud to our class. She had a way of making great books and great stories come to life, and she sparked a love of reading (and writing) that I will always be grateful for. The teacher who had the most impact on my life is my dad. He helped me through Calculus in high school and inspired me to major in math in college.

I hope we will take the time this month to thank the teachers in our lives for all they do for us and all they do for our kids.

Who was one of your favorite teachers and why?
