A Love Forged in Faith
When tragedy steals Emma Bender’s husband, she vows to run her farm alone—but sometimes stubborn independence can stand in the way of love’s gentle healing.
Emma is determined to honor her husband's memory by managing their farm herself, but mounting struggles and unexpected dangers test her strength. Samuel Zook knows too well the cost of pride and loss. Quiet, strong, and patient, he longs to protect Emma, even when her fierce independence pushes him away.
But neither counts on Ruth Esch—Faith’s Creek’s most charmingly meddlesome grandmother—who is convinced that Emma and Samuel belong together, no matter how loudly they protest.
Can two wounded souls set aside their fears, trust each other, and embrace a future filled with faith and tender love?
In a community bound by faith, friendship, and family, sometimes love arrives just in time.
Each book can be read alone but you will love the whole series.

Frustrating Series
Her stories are good, but the characters are so constantly conflicted, and the two can never seem to be able to communicate their feelings, or constantly misinterpret the other person. Just when you think the conversation might be going somewhere, someone comes in and interrupts them. The continuous swing of their emotions gets tiring after awhile. All her books seem to have the same torturous theme to them. You know how they'll end up, but getting there is sometimes pretty tedious. Also, the author doesn't differentiate days and times all that well. You never know if it's morning or night, or if you missed several days somehow. I would like to read more about their daily life rather than their seesawing emotions. I plan to read the next one even though I'm pretty sure it will be much the same. I still recommend this series, but I feel they're not the best at depicting Amish life.
