Publisher's Description
The secret ingredient is love. It was a short distance from Anne Beiler's little town in the heart of Mennonite country to her humble farmer's stand that would become the first Auntie Anne's Pretzel store. But it was a long life journey for Anne to get there. Twist of Faith is more than the inspiring story of building a successful business; it's a personal journey of faith and forgiveness. From the death of her young daughter to surviving the rigors of building a successful business to struggles with depression, Anne offers a deeply personal view of her life. She says, "If you knew my life and understood where I came from, you would agree that Auntie Anne's, Inc. is a modern day business miracle." Twist of Faith is an inspiring look at the life of a woman who went from an 8th-grade Amish education to founding Auntie Anne's, Inc., the world's largest mall-based pretzel franchise.

“This book isn’t just about pretzels. From the simple life of an Amish family, living in community, through tragedy, betrayal, violation, and finally, reconciliation, Anne Beiler’s story will grab you and never let you go. It is, after all, a story of forgiveness, hope, and promise. It is about what Love can do.”
“Don M. “Bubba” Cathy Sr. VP for Chick-fil-A “Anne’s extremely candid sharing of the highs and lows in her personal journey are a powerful real life story that will capture your attention, stir your emotions, and cause you to stop and reexamine your own life. It is a story of family love, support, and encouragement that overcomes grief, guilt, depression, and hopelessness. It is a story of forgiveness, God’s grace, and redemption. Don Soderquist Retired Vice Chairman & COO of Wal-Mart Stores “Anne Beiler traversed barren lands of emotional, relational, and financial disaster, and the journey prepared her for great achievements in each of the areas of her greatest challenges. Anne’s story illustrates the overcoming strength that comes from faith, vision, and a commitment to serve. This amazing and uplifting narrative will touch the heart and motivate each reader to reach beyond failure to achieve full potential. I couldn’t put it down until I read every page!”
