About this book

Shy Ruth Kauffman is excited when Charles Polk asks her on a date. He's handsome, hardworking, and seems genuinely interested in her (unlike the last boy she had a crush on). But Charles and his parents aren't Mennonite--at least not yet. They're seriously considering joining Ruthie's church and embracing a simple life. Yet some people at Ruthie's Sarasota church disapprove of the Polks and refuse to accept them into the community. When a disaster strikes Charles's family, Ruthie is caught in the middle. Can she trust Charlie--and her growing feelings for him-- enough to stand by him?

"Luke Bowman's homecoming is turning Emma Swartzentruber's carefully ordered world upside down. Gone is her rebellious girlhood crush, and in his place is a handsome man who seems committed to serving the community. Luke's even agreed to work for Emma's ill father, whose last wish is to see his daughter wedded to a stable, loving man. But Luke -- a man who flirted with the outside world with disastrous consequences -- is hardly marriage material for a good Amish woman. Yet this Christmas, when her family is flung into crisis, Emma finds that he may just be the one to capture her heart for good."--Page four of cover.
