Great reading from the biggest name in Amish fiction. Eva Esch and her two single sisters must be married within the year, as their brother's growing family takes up the space in the ancestral farmhouse. When a charming stranger turns up at Eva's market stall with a forbidden photo of a young woman, Eva's world begins to tilt.
Inspiring New Novel from the "Biggest Name in Amish Fiction"
Eva Esch and her sisters are in a predicament. With the passing of their widowed mother, Eva's older brother plans to move his growing family into the Eden Valley farmhouse where they all grew up, leaving little room for his three single sisters. Unless they marry within the year, the only apparent option is for two sisters to go to Indiana to live with an elderly great aunt. Eva hopes to be married, but she isn't sure she wants to give up her sweet shop for the life of a farmer's wife. And she can't see how her prospects would be any better in Indiana.
When younger sister Lily disappears in the night, leaving only a brief note, Eva fears she has been wooed away from the People by an outsider. And when Jed Stutzman, a young Amish buggy maker from Ohio, shows up at Eva's market stand in Lancaster with a photo of a Plain young woman, Eva's world begins to tilt. She feels powerfully drawn to the quietly charming stranger--but the woman in the forbidden photograph is no stranger at all...

This is the third of Beverly Lewis's Amish-themed novels I have read and, as usual, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Based on the close ties of Amish communities, their deep faith and godly values, the reader is quickly drawn into the whole experience. This story is predominantly about three sisters - one of whom has been drawn away from the simple Plain life of the Amish by the lure of what they refer to as Fancy living outside their communities. Another key character in the story is a young man from an Amish community in another state, who, by a somewhat miraculous nature, finds an enigmatic photograph while travelling to further his work skills. This photograph leads him on the journey of his life, whereby he becomes involved in what is happening to the young runaway and her sisters. Themes of God's working and design in our lives, as well as the precious relationships between those who share faith, are woven meaningfully into the story with charm and appeal.
