From USA Today bestselling author Amy Lillard, the new inspirational romance featuring the "Whoopie Pie Widow's Club," a group of women who share solace, friendship, and faith. When they bet that their most outgoing member can't turn around the attitude of their most grumpy neighbor, the last thing they expected was their wager leading to new love for Hattie!
Hattie Schrock's lively optimism makes her the Widows Club's most outgoing member. The circle has helped her through widowhood—and in building a thriving popcorn shop with her cousin. So when Elsie bets Hattie that she can't help Paradise Valley's most cantankerous man learn to be happier, Hattie tackles the challenge head-on. But what can she do when she finds Christian Beachy is far more complicated—and appealing—than she thought?
Christian lives his faith through hard work, supporting his overbearing sister, and growing the Valley's best vegetables. After all, a good Amish man should be dedicated to duty. Yet suddenly, Hattie's warmhearted attentions and knack for unexpected adventures is showing him life can be so much more—especially if Hattie can share it with him. But when he discovers her wager, can she and the Widows Club ever convince him that her growing love is the real thing—and that risking together forever will be the sweetest, most fulfilling chance of all?

      Lillard (One More Time for Joy) centers the cheery conclusion to the Paradise Valley series on the power of positivity, sweet treats, and second chances. Hattie Schrock, 59-year-old co-owner of Poppin’ Paradise Popcorn Shop, is well-known in the Amish community of Paradise Springs, Mo., for her easy smile and sunny disposition. When she and her cousin (and co-owner) Elsie realize they’ve never seen widower Christian Beachy without his perpetual frown, they make a bet: Hattie has 60 days to get Christian to smile, or she must clean the copper pots in the popcorn shop for one year. Hattie invites Christian to a benefit event hosted by the Whoopie Pie Widows’ Club, where the two bond over lively games of horseshoes (and whoopie pies). Though Christian still won’t smile, Hattie realizes there’s more to the gentle, withdrawn widower than meets the eye. But just as their friendship starts to bloom into something more, Christian discovers Hattie’s bet, threatening to bring their romance to an end before it can really begin. Lillard’s characters are satisfyingly three-dimensional and easy to root for, including Christian, whose cantankerous exterior belies a gentle and generous heart. Lillard’s fans will delight in this enchanting testament to the benefits of looking on the bright side.
