Treva Zimmerman finds herself at a crossroads in life after a heartbreaking failed relationship. Returning to Lancaster County to visit her Amish grandparents and elderly aunt, Treva plans to leave her Plain heritage behind for a fresh start in Alaska. Torn between the expectations of her community and her own desires, she seeks to follow her own path--but all that changes when her aunt Rosene suffers a heart attack.

Amid the turmoil, their former farmhand Gabe Johnson returns unexpectedly, throwing Treva's plans into further disarray. While working hard to save the farm and explore her own destiny, Treva confronts her deep-rooted ties to her heritage and must decide if she will embrace her family's legacy or break free from the pressures of her past to forge a life of her own.

His life is all good times and bad choices ... until the day he finds a baby at the door with a note saying the child is his. Sara Fischer returns to Montana to join church, where the only job she can find is on the Circle M—as a nanny. The Amish way of life is the fence that divides them. But can a baby’s trusting smile open their hearts to each other—and to God? In book three, Rebecca Miller is content to dream about a man she saw the previous summer—until one stormy night, she rescues an accident victim and recognizes him as the same man. Noah King arrives at the hospital to find his brother Andrew unconscious and a young Amish woman holding his hand. Noah thinks Rebecca is too good for his handsome, reckless brother—or is that his own heart, longing for what it can’t have? “This story has all that Adina Senft is known to bring to her writing.
