Christian contemporary romance
Miriam's Little Gentleman
Miriam once loved David, but he left their Amish community for the Mennonite church and with that choice seemed to close the door on a future together. Seven years later, David returns to his Amish roots, bringing old feelings and unresolved questions back with him. Time has changed them both, and reconciliation requires more than simply resuming the courtship they once imagined. This second-chance Amish romance explores belonging, denominational differences, patience, and whether a relationship interrupted by conviction can be rebuilt with greater maturity.
