Publisher's Synopsis
What does family truly mean? For Grace Bontrager, it has become synonymous with heartache.
Reeling from the untimely loss of her parents, and with no siblings of her own, she faces the precipice of uncertain choices about her future. Thrust into the heart of the Amish community, living with her Aunt Emily Beiler, Grace is akin to a fish gasping for breath on unfamiliar shores.
Mathew Mast seeks more than just a wife. He yearns for a kindred spirit, a partner who shares his dreams and comprehends his soul. Grace, with her unconventional world view and invigorating ideas, certainly captivates his interest. Yet, her outsider status and temporary presence make the thought of a shared life seem fanciful. So why is this magnetic attraction he feels towards her unlike anything he's experienced before?
Caught in the crossfire of decisions, Grace must wrestle with the choice of embracing an entirely new Amish lifestyle or reverting to the plans she'd crafted before her world fell apart. It's a moment of introspection, a scrutinization of her existence and her deepest desires. Will love conquer practicalities, or will the pull of her previous life prove too strong to resist? Is Mathew her ticket to rediscover the warmth of a loving family?
