Hello readers, and happy October!

The pumpkins are out, the leaves are turning, and before we know it, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be knocking at our doors. Are you looking forward to the upcoming holidays? I love this time of year���the cooler evenings, cozy sweaters, and the smell of cinnamon and spice drifting through the kitchen. It���s the perfect season to slow down, count our blessings, and look ahead to all the joy that���s coming.

And speaking of blessings���I have some wonderful news and fun giveaways to share with you this month!

First, I���m delighted to let you know that Elam���s book now has a title: Her Reluctant Amish Heart! Many of you have been waiting for the next Humble Blessings book and I can���t wait for you to read it. I���m also so happy to be returning to Humble, Wisconsin, to finish the last two books in this series. Right now, I���m waiting to hear back on the proposal for Trisha and Ben���s book, and I���m hoping for good news soon. (Fingers crossed!)

But that���s not all. October also brings something brand-new and very special. My devotional, A Quiet Strength: 31 Days of Amish Wisdom and Hope, is here!��

This little booklet was inspired by the characters you���ve come to know and love. I invite you to download your free copy and let the stories and lessons that shaped my Amish brides now bring light and encouragement into your daily walk.

On another note, I know many of you signed up for the street team for��An Amish Widow���s Hope. Sign-ups are now closed, and I���ll be contacting members around the first week of October���so keep an eye on your inbox for your welcome email!

Elam���s book is also scheduled for release in 2026, and when the time comes, I���ll be opening new sign-ups for that title. Keep an eye out for details!��

September’s winner is Carol Allen. Congratulations!
