JustRead Tours Blog Tour: A Second Chance to Remember by Leslie Gould

Welcome to the Blog Tour for A Second Chance to Remember by Leslie Gould, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: A Second Chance to Remember 
Series: Letters from Lancaster County 
Author: Leslie Gould 
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers 
Release Date: November 17, 2026 
Genre: Contemporary Amish Romance

From bestselling author Leslie Gould comes a warm and lighthearted Amish romance where an unlikely correspondence opens the door to a second chance at love.  

After losing her beloved husband, Grace Conley is certain her heart will never heal. The Mennonite mother of three pours herself into raising her children, managing her Ohio farm, tending her late husband's beehives, and fostering her small honey business. Romance feels like a chapter ended--until a letter arrives that changes everything. 

Through her husband's old beekeepers' circle letter, Grace connects with Michael Stoll, an Amish widower from Lancaster County she's never met. His words mirror her own grief, and their phone conversations become the highlight of her week. Michael's quiet strength and devotion to his three children stir something that Grace thought she'd buried forever. But doubts creep in about their religious differences and lingering grief. Will a leap of faith help Grace and Michael discover that love can come twice in a lifetime?  

"Gould expertly builds the relationship between her leads, blending gently comedic moments with emotional depth. . . . This charms."--Publishers Weekly on The Shop Down the Lane  

A sweet second chance romance and perfect book club pick for fans of Beverly Lewis, Wanda Brunstetter, Amy Clipston, Beth Wiseman, and Amish fiction with big-hearted widowed and single parent characters set in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  

Amish Fiction is my ultimate favorite genre to read. A Second Chance to Remember by Leslie Gould is Book 3 in the Letters from Lancaster County series I have been anticipating the release of this book, as I have read the first 2 books in this series. 

I began reading this story and could not put it down. The 2 main characters in this story are Grace Conley and Michael Stoll. Grace is a recent widow who has taken over the affairs of the family. She is a Mennonite raising three 3 children and taking care of the Farm. She is also trying to figure out the Beehive and Honey Business that her late husband tended to. Michael Stoll is also a Widower raising 3 Children. He has been a part of a Beehive Circle with Grace's late husband.  Grace and Michael "meet" through a series of letters in the BeeKeeper Circle. Michael is Amish from Lancaster, PA and he has 3 Adult Children. Grace and Michael are connected through the letters and then phone calls. They are both going through struggles with their children and Grace offers to help one of Michael's children. Grace and Michael are also put into a position where they have some hard decisions to make in regards to their future together. The author really has shown how Family Struggles can be weary, yet can also help strengthen the family. I was thrilled that this was a Second Chance Romance. The book is about following God's plan for our life, not giving up on LOVE and LIFE.  I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Amish Fiction. GREAT BOOK!
