Focused and unassuming fifth generation cider-maker Sanna has one desire: to live a simple, quiet life on her family’s apple orchard in Door County, Wisconsin. Although her business is struggling, Sanna remains fiercely devoted to the orchard, despite her brother’s attempts to convince their aging father to sell the land.
Isaac Banks has spent years singlehandedly trying to shield his son Sebastian from his troubled mother. Fleeing heartbreak, Isaac packed up their lives and the two headed out on an adventure, taking odd jobs as they drove across the country from California, pulling up to Sanna’s orchard at exactly the right time...
Isaac’s helping hands are much appreciated at the apple farm, even more when Sanna’s father is injured in an accident, leaving her as his sole caretaker. As Sanna’s formerly simple life becomes increasingly complicated, she finds solace in unexpected places—friendship with young Sebastian and something more deliciously complex with Isaac—until an outside threat infiltrates the farm. Can Sanna save the orchard and her budding romance? Or will she lose more than she knew she had?
From the warm and funny Amy E. Reichert, The Simplicity of Cider is a charming love story with a touch of magic, perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen and Gayle Forman.

Bio: Amy E. Reichert loves to write stories that end well with characters you’d invite to dinner. A wife, mom, amateur chef, and a cider enthusiast, she earned her MA in English Literature at Marquette University and serves on her library’s board of directors.
A lifelong cheesehead (aka born and raised Wisconsinite), her hometown is Manitowoc. As a high school cheerleader she made sure to enunciate while shouting out for the Manitowoc Lincoln Ships.
Amy admits to being super nerdy. She sneaks in references to wizards, spaceships, dragons and superheroes so her editor doesn’t delete them. She never thought she could write one novel and now, is the author of six novels. Every story Amy has spun is filled with her heart and humor. Once you meet Amy Reichert, you’ll agree with her… she is truly delightful.
