The Courtship Basket by Amy Clipston

Years ago, a picnic basket brought two hearts together. For Rachel and Mike, history may be about to repeat itself.
Rachel Fisher is devastated when the young man she’s loved for years leaves her to date her best friend. Her heart is broken, and she has all but given up on love. Determined to keep her mind off the pain, she starts teaching at an Amish school for children with learning disabilities.
Since his father became ill, Mike Lantz has been overwhelmed with the responsibility of providing for his family and caring for his six-year-old brother, John. When John joins Rachel’s class and she learns that his mother is deceased and his father sick, she desperately wants to help the family, even with something as simple as a meal.
With her parents’ old picnic basket, Rachel begins sending food to the Lantz family. As the weeks go by, John’s grades start to improve, and the attraction grows between Rachel and Mike. They can’t deny that their friendship is growing toward something more, but both of them are hesitant to risk a more serious relationship.
The last thing Rachel wants is another heartbreak, and Mike is worried about providing for his loved ones. Will the two be able to reconcile their past hurts with new hope for the future?

This series really wasn't my favorite. After the first book was sent to me and I read it I knew I wasn't interested in reading the rest of them (except the last one, more on that later.) So, anyway I decided to let my daughter read the rest of this series. As she slowly makes her way through these I'll post her reviews.

Now back to the last book. The last book in this series centers around the parents of the girls the series is about. At the end of the first book she eludes to a secret about something that happened a long time ago, so I knew I wanted to read it. Thus this Review. Anyway so that's a long story short, or maybe not so short Ha! And FYI I didn't request this book to review, it was randomly sent to me. So I don't want any nasty comments or emails telling me I was wrong to get the book lol.

Here is Lizzie's review

I really liked this book. I liked all the characters. I liked how the story flowed. It didn't stall out or drag on with nothing going on. It was a great book and I can't wait to read the next one.
