Known as “The Peanut Butter Brothers” for their Wisconsin family business, hardworking Andrew, Abraham, and Austin Petersheim have their plates too full for romance—until their little siblings decide to play matchmaker . . .
With their house full to bursting since Mammi and Dawdi moved back in, the Petersheim twins know the only way to get their bedroom back is to get their older brothers married off. But Abraham is so shy, he’ll barely speak to girls. Still, they’ve noticed how he looks at Emma Wengerd at church. Emma is so talkative, Abraham’s quiet ways wouldn’t matter a bit. Soon, the boys have hatched a scheme that sends Abraham right to Emma’s
door—and her chicken coop . . .
Abraham doubts that pretty, popular Emma would be interested in him. Yet when he finds himself by her side, having to straighten out the twins’ mischief—more than once—he can’t help imagining a future with her. And the more time they spend together, the more Abraham realizes that perhaps no matter how many boys buzz around Emma, with faith, it’s only the right one that counts . . .

My thoughts (lvh): ABRAHAM is the second book in this series, but it stands alone. Fans of Ms. Beckstrand's quirky humor will want to read the first book in the series, Andrew.
The book is funny, but ABRAHAM and his lady love Emma are not the brightest crayons in the box. They are fooled so easily and it is painfully obvious that what they are falling for couldn't have happened.
Plus Emma is the most self-centered girl ever. ABRAHAM is good enough to be used (and gullible enough to allow it), but not good enough to even acknowledge in public. Emma wants to flirt with the more interesting boys.
I was not real impressed with this book, but I loved the twins and Bitsy.
