My Review:
 Mrs. Vannetta Chapman has done it again. So far I'm loving the Pebble Creek Amish Series. She described perfectly the main characters and their reactions to happenings all around them so much so that I felt like I was there. A Wedding for Julia is the third book in the series.

Julia Beechy just wants what every person wants-- an identity, a purpose. Something to believe in from day to day that takes her thoughts higher and higher, higher than she ever dreamed possible. But not long after her father's death, her now ailing mother has dashed her dream of opening a cafe in her their home. The words that broke her heart only carried with them her impending doom as she seen it. What good could possibly come of her not doing this?

 Her mother, Ada Beechy, informs her of her intentions to see Julia married or after her death Julia will have to move away and live with family in Pennsylvania. This takes poor Julia by surprise because she feels like she has been left out in the cold.

 Caleb Zook, is getting on up in years and he feels that his marrying days are behind him. But its long before his feelings for Julia seem to be changing and growing stronger minute by minute. Julia soon finds herself confiding to Caleb about her dream and now how it all has been dashed. When Caleb offers a solution that can change everything. Julia starts to actually consider it. Then if this wasn't enough the people of Pebble Creek start to see winds of change that could alter their future for good.

 The author has included discussion questions and some yummy recipes that you will hear mentioned throughout the book.
