Publisher's summary

Second chances come at the most unexpected times....

Widow Laura Beth Yoder longs for a family of her own. So much so that she’s preparing to leave the sleepy Amish town she calls home to find love. But a terrible storm washes out the creek, forcing her to wade in and save the life of an Englisch man and his adorable infant son. As they recover at the farm, the baby brings sunshine and joy, while the handsome outsider is filled with shadows...and secrets.

Joshua King owes his life and his son’s to Laura Beth. Still, lingering at her farm is out of the question. He must fulfill a promise he made to his estranged wife on her deathbed: to deliver their son to his Amish in-laws. With his dark past, Joshua has no other choice. But his plans never took this sweet and surprising Amish widow into account. She just might be his second chance at happiness...and love.

Better than many

I thought this was better than many of the Amish romances. The narration is good. I thought Joshua's waffling lasted way too long and was a little insulting at the last

My Musings

Wow, just wow! What a fantastic book! I loved, loved the characters so much. The hero and heroine are such humble individuals. They stole my heart from the beginning. I’m so thrilled they were able to find their happy ending! This book is the reason why I enjoy Amish fiction. Also, the narrator is outstanding and truly brought the characters to life. Happy reading/listening!

Great story

I wasn’t crazy about the narrator for the Joshua’s voice but I got used to it.

Wonderful story line

Excellent book!!! The story line was different that many other Amish books. I love how the protagonist of the book wasn’t a helpless maiden as in so many Amish books. I loved how the book feels complete. There are many questions about the story line with the book finishes. I love how it didn’t drag out. Although you know very early on who will get together, it’s about their journey. Great read! Highly recommend

beautiful story!!

with the exception of the strange, monotone voice that the narrator use for Joshua, the story was great. I can't figure out why she did that because the rest of the narration was exceptional. this is a very heartwarming story and I can't wait to listen to the next one!

Beautiful Story

I loved this book ! The storyline was new and fresh. I also am from Kansas and my hometown was mentioned and where my daughter lives and where my best friend lives that was so fun hearing that. Yoder is a Amish town and is about 15 minutes from where I live. I recommend this book. The narrator needs a little practice but she did pretty good as well.
