The Bake Shop Christiana Kurtz loves to bake, but when her bake stand becomes too busy, her mother encourages her to move her business to the local market. Her new bake shop becomes so inundated with customers that the line blocks the leather and woodcraft shop next door, which is run by Jeffrey Stoltzfus. When Jeffrey complains that her stand is driving away business due to the lines, she complains to him that his personalization machine smells. Though their relationship starts off on bad footing, they eventually forge a friendship. When Jeffrey’s shop catches fire one day, he puts the entire market in jeopardy—including Christiana’s bake shop. Though the odds are against them, can two young people find a way to rebuild both their businesses and their relationship? The Farm Stand Salina Petersheim runs her own booth at the Amish market, where she’s known for having the freshest and most delicious produce in the area. She's has been dating Josiah for almost a year now, but he feels more like a friend than a boyfriend. He’s handsome and easy to talk to, but he just doesn’t warm her heart the way she feels a boyfriend and future husband should. Along comes William “Will” Zimmerman, a Mennonite chef who runs a restaurant located next door to the Amish market. He wants Salina to supply the produce for his restaurant, and as they forge a business relationship, they both feel themselves falling in love. Will they follow their hearts or bow to the pressure of family? The Coffee Corner Alongside her cousins who have booths of their own, Bethany Gingerich runs a busy and successful coffee and donut stand at the Amish market. Micah Zook and his grandfather, Enos, visit Bethany every Saturday morning to purchase coffee and donuts before work Bethany enjoys talking to Micah and Enos, and she’s always thought Micah was handsome. When Bethany learns that tragedy has struck, she wonders how to help Micah. Turns out he needs a friend now more than ever, and Bethany may be just the kind of friend that God has provided for him. The Jam and Jelly Nook Since her husband died seven years ago, Leanna Wengerd has done her best—tending to her son, Chester, and running her Jam and Jelly Nook at the Amish market. Though she enjoys seeing her cousins and customers at the marketplace, she wishes she could find more time with her rebellious teenage boy. When Chester gets into trouble for trespassing, he winds up at the police station with a girl named Maggie. Leanna goes to the police station to fetch Chester and happens to meet Emory, Maggie’s father. Emory is also a widower, raising Maggie alone—and both he and Leanna have similar burdens and problems. Over time Emory and Leanna become closer friends, discovering how much they have in common. The two eventually realize they have feelings for each other—but when they try to date, their families resist. Will God pave a way for them to build a family together, or will hurdles block the path to a second chance at happiness?
