The Seekers by Wanda E. Brunstetter

The Seekers by Wanda E. Brunstetter - 448 pages

I would call this a nice story.  A woman decides to hold Amish cooking classes since she's Amish, has no children and looks for extra income.
The folks who show up, Amish and English, are sharing their lives and well as cooking classes.  Good ending for all those involved.
