Welcome back to Birch Creek. Jalon and Phoebe (Written in Love) are married, and Jalon's sister Leanna now works in Daniel's shop repairing small engines. But the town busybodies frown on Leanna's unwomanly ways, and Daniel fires her to prevent his wife from worrying about an alleged affair. Meanwhile, his estranged brother Roman returns to town after receiving a letter from their late grandmother. Daniel isn't happy, but Roman is sincere in his desire for forgiveness and reconciliation. Soon he and Leanna grow close. When tragedy strikes, the family must pull together to let go of the past and deal with the present.
VERDICT Featuring an unconventional Amish heroine and written with wit and charm, this sweet and entertaining tale of love and redemption will appeal to readers of the genre looking for something a bit different. Newcomers should begin with the first book.
