320 pages · First published 2017
In 1903, Anna Plank has found happiness in the Amish community of Berlin, Ohio, where she lives with her widowed mother and two sisters and works in a quilt shop. She expects to marry her longtime beau, Noah Schwartz, but when he reveals his plans to travel and settle in other Amish communities, Anna's reluctance to leave her family and home drives him away. As she struggles with the loss of their relationship, Daniel Bontrager, a kindhearted roofer who has inherited his late brother's farm, offers friendship and the possibility of a different future. When Noah returns, Anna must decide whether to rekindle her first love or pursue a new relationship with a man whose dreams may better match her own. This gentle Christian historical romance explores faith, family ties, and the courage to choose a life built on shared values rather than expectations.
