Four brand new Amish stories of coming home.
No Place Like Home by Amy Clipston Estranged daughter Eva Dienner has been staying with her in-laws since her husband was killed in a fire, but now she wants her son to meet his maternal grandparents. Upon her return, Eva finds that the man her parents always intended for her is living in their daadihaus and running the dairy farm for them for free, despite her suspicions of him taking advantage of her family. Eva knows she should put the past behind her, but is she ready to move into the future?
When Love Returns by Beth Wiseman Hurricane Harvey forces Sarah Zook to return to the home she fled six years ago when she couldn’t face her stern parents’ reaction to her unplanned pregnancy. Upon her return, Abram King can think of nothing but the pain she caused him—until he meets Sarah’s daughter and realizes that he never really stopped loving Sarah. Sarah and Abram must find a way to face the truth of their past so they can rekindle their first love.
The Courage to Love by Shelley Shepard Gray After the death of her Englisch husband, Irene Keim seeks a fresh start by staying with her new friends Mary Ruth and Henry Wengerd in exchange for helping them around the house. But when Mary Ruth and Henry’s son Marcus comes around, he isn’t pleased with the woman they’ve taken in and is determined to push her out. Misunderstandings abound, but both Irene and Marcus learn that people aren’t always what they seem.
What Love Built by Kathleen Fuller Independent and headstrong, Carolyn is determined to forge ahead with the opening of her bakery, a lifelong dream, in the Birch Creek home she left ten years ago. But she’s in over her head and needs help with the cleaning, shopping, and deliveries. Carpenter Atlee Shetler is visiting Birch Creek to escape the memories of his late wife. He takes a job renovating the new bakery and finds the project—and its owner—to be much more than he bargained for. Both Carolyn and Atlee must face pains of the past if they want to have the bright future God has planned for them.
These four stories were great reads and I was super happy to have gotten this book with lots of authors that I love. The first story was about Eva who was staying with her in-laws after her husband has passed away. Her son wants to meet his grandparents so they go to her hometown. She finds out that lots of things have changed since she was there last and she has to make things right for her. She has to fix her relationship with her mom so that they can work on making a future together. The second story was about Sarah Zook returning to her home that she left with her 6 year old child. She is dealing with all of the things that she left behind including the shame of being pregnant and not knowing who the father of her child is but she comes back and deals with everything. This might have been my favorite of the stories because I immediately understand and empathized with Sarah. The third story was by my favorite authors, Shelley Shepard Gray. Mary Ruth and Henry take in Irene at their house because they need help and she needs a fresh start after leaving her husband. Marcus, Mary Ruth and Henry's son, quickly makes Irene not feel welcome so she moves out into a situation that isn't best because she needs another place to live. Marcus works to become to friends with Irene and it grows into much more. The fourth story was by a newer author that I have just started reading. Carolyn is opening a bakery and not accepting help from anyone even her family because she wants to prove that she can be successful. Atlee comes to visit and ends up helping her get the bakery up and running. Both Carolyn and Atlee work together and get over the past wrongs to make the future stronger. The story in this book happened just before the next book in my stack which was super great because I really had no idea. I was glad to have read this collections and can't wait to find more fun library books when they open again.
