Despite knowing her parents are getting desperate for their only child to marry and give them grandchildren, Salina Stoltzfus is weary of seeking the perfect match. Every time she thinks she has found “the one,” he marries another.
The best way to forget you are the last woman any man in Havenlee, Indiana, wants to hitch his buggy too is to find something passionate to focus on. When the area is overrun with donations after a tragic storm, Salina suggests opening a consignment shop. The deacon supports the idea and offers his visiting nephew to help set things up.
After the embarrassment of having his fiancée call off their wedding, Seth Weaver takes his mother’s advice to leave Kentucky to stay with his uncle for a while. Unfortunately, Seth knows nothing about building furniture in his uncle’s factory, which is the only reason he agrees to help ready the consignment shop next door—not because of the little chatterbox working inside.
When Salina’s parents are caught meddling in her love life, she comes up with a crazy idea that might gain her some time and space. Could it be the road to happiness is paved with good intentions and epic fails—until we cross paths when the one made especially for us?

MY THOUGHTS.....
Poor Salina! She considers herself a wallflower who will probably never marry, but her parents want their only child married...soon! It doesn't seem to matter that Salina wants love to come before marriage. If only she could find a husband who would also be her true and lasting love!
I'm always amazed by this author's ability to create characters who are so realistically endearing. Salina sometimes talks too much, and this often happens when she's around a young Amish newcomer in Havenlee. Is it possible that this brokenhearted visitor will recognize the true worth of a sweet, talkative "wallflower"?
I enjoyed watching Salina and Seth fake a romance to pacify Salina's family and friends, and I loved Seth's willingness to be a part of this pretend relationship. There's also a natural disaster that showcases the true Amish values we all admire. When tragedy strikes, they are the first to step up to help!
A Heart on Consignment has well-defined characters, intriguing plot developments, and inspiring faith. I recommend it to all who enjoy friendship, family, and Amish romance.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. These are my own thoughts.
