My latest book, "The Amish Baker's Redemption," is now available.
This is the sequel to "An Amish Marriage Agreement" which hit the New York Times' best-seller list in September. I've always felt "The Amish Baker's Redemption" was the better story of the two, so it's my hope readers agree.
Here's the backcover blurb:
Forgiveness is the missing ingredient for her fresh start. After spending years in the 'Englisch' world, Adele Bontrager returns to her Amish community, desperate to redeem herself and reclaim her faith. Working in an Amish bakery, she feels like her life is finally moving in the right direction…until Isaiah King arrives as the new head baker.
Single father Isaiah has his hands full trying to raise his rebellious teenage daughter and is grateful when Adele strikes up a friendship with his sullen child, despite her obvious reluctance toward him. But when he learns of the quiet baker’s troubled history, he’ll need to decide if her past is worth risking their future…
The book is available through Amazon (affiliate link) and Harlequin.
I hope you enjoy it! And let's hope it hits best-sellerdom again!
"he’ll need to decide if her past is worth risking their future…" He decides no and marries an OnlyFans model instead. SPOILER ALERT
ReplyDeletePatrice is too kind to you.
DeleteHaha! Plot twist, Adele’s past WAS onlyfans!
DeleteWhat the heck is onlyfans?
DeleteYou have brought disgusting filth to a wholesome page. How dare you? Patrice is making a living with these books. Now someone is asking what Only Fans is. I hope they aren't swayed to look. Hopefully, since most if us are familiar with your vile posts no one will pay attention to your current entry. Maybe she will sell more books despite what you have done. What a way to show you "love Don and Patrice...and have been a long time reader of this page".
DeleteAmateur topless/nude site with subscriptions. Apparently quite a few women make good money off it.
DeleteWell Krab, now we finally know how you've amassed your great fortune!
DeleteEyeroll. Get a sense of humor, prudes. "How very dare I" get lost. It is a joke.
DeleteNot a "funny joke", Krab. Please keep that kind of "joke" for other pages you may frequent. Most of us would rather not see that kind of reference here, and I think you know that. We especially don't want those who don't have any idea what "Only Fans" is to try to find out by searching it.
DeleteDon and Patrice are obviously Christians, and it's disrespectful to them and to God to "joke" like this here, as well. If you love them, act like it, how about?
GTFO it Lisa Beth W. I'm pretty sure God likes jokes and laughter. It was quite obviously not meant seriously. I am a Christian too, just not a fundie who hates humor and thinks God is getting annoyed about a harmless quip.
DeleteKrab, some humility and an apology would do nicely here. Don't attack Christians and claim to be Christian. It doesn't work that way. Love your neighbor.
Delete"F"ed up, not dead yet = fundie. Wow, how very CHRISTIAN of you. Krab, explain what you mean by that, please!
Delete""F"ed up, not dead yet = fundie." Where did I write that? And no, I'm not apologizing for a harmless joke. You don't like me--I don't like you. We're even. Now let's move on.
DeleteThat's what fundie means. Look it up. Own it or don't use words you don't know the meaning of. That's what your old blog was about! It's not about liking each other. Don't play victim after you spread the mess from insulting Patrice's book characters to fundie, insulting Christians. Just own it. You made some mistakes. These are tasteless jokes, if you want to call it that. Most Christians apologize when they realize they have offended someone. So, act like a Christian!
DeleteFundie is short for "fundamentalist." If there's some other meaning I'm not aware of it and no I made no mistakes. I don't apologize for a harmless joke if some people take offense. Go report me to Jesus if you like. (Also, the idea of insulting a book character? You need to calm yourself a bit.)
DeleteJesus always knows before we say anything.
DeleteBe careful what you sling around.
I don't want to belabor this point, Krab, but this is actually not a small matter. It is obvious that God likes jokes and laughter, but He also makes it obvious in His word that sin is never funny to Him. That kind of "joke" is not harmless. You seem to be a very defensive person, but try to see the point people are making here.
DeleteThere's a difference between joking about sin and actually sinning. God looks at the intention behind the words. If a joke is meant to be lighthearted and make people laugh, then it's not a sin. OBVIOUSLY the punchline of the joke is to ridiculously contrast OnlyFans with the lives of observant, modest Amish people. You can keep arguing but just because I don't agree with your point doesn't mean I don't see it.
DeleteKrab, it was not OBVIOUS. People wouldn't still be talking about this if it was obvious. Your critical nature is a pattern here, and not Christ-like. What do you expect us to think? Since you have not conceded, but continue to defend your statement, our opinions stand as correct and unchanged to us. You have taken your marbles and gone home. You have played victim after kicking a hornets nest. Just stay home and keep your marbles.
DeleteI pray for you.
Matthew 5:28
DeleteBut I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Don't encourage sin, even with a joke. We all fall short.
Who's played victim? I made a joke and some of you had a hissy fit. You're the whiny victims, not me. The "I pray for you" is masterful passive aggressive. Well done.
DeleteThis is the last comment I will make because this argument is freaking ridiculous.
DeleteMaking a joke about a FICTIONAL CHARACTER is NOT encouraging sin. See, because the characters are make-believe, not real. Now that I've put it in the fourth-grade terms maybe you can understand. But you probably can't based on the quality of your replies, haha. Bye! Don't respond again!
Krab....LOL!
ReplyDeletePatrice, you put your heart and soul into this work of art. I hope it sells well and teaches grace along with redemption to all who read it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the book and will continue to purchase and read your stories. You have the unique capability to get a movie running in my head. I did catch the mention of the bishops cat!
ReplyDeleteJust purchased. Looking forward to a good read! Will post a review when I’m done!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Delete- Patrice
