Publisher's summary

When Joel and Shani Beck arrive at their new home on Juneberry Lane in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, they're looking for peace. Joel's recently returned from Iraq and is recuperating, and Shani is just happy to have her family back together. They can't imagine any trouble with their Amish neighbors, the Lehmans, but things get off to a rocky start when their son accidently hurts Simon, one of the Lehman boys.

Timothy Lehman, a widower, is the family patriarch and demands the Beck boy work in Simon's place. Tensions escalate, but Shani can't help but be drawn to Eve Lehman, Timothy's sister, who runs the household. The two begin to form a strong friendship forged on faith and family, and things seem like they've quieted down - until Joel's single and handsome army friend, Charlie, catches Eve's eye. Suddenly life for both families becomes more complicated than any of them could have ever imagined.

Great story!

This was a great story of learning to love when life gets tough. Grace and redemption flow from its pages as you grow to love both an Amish and English family who struggle with real life issues and ask real questions and start healing from deep wounds.

good story but religious.

I am not a religious person, so getting a book that's dripping in godliness was not what I was going for...
but it's pretty good. I live in Amish country and really enjoy my neighbors and that's what sparked me getting the book.
charcaters are very well done, storyline is predictable, and narrative is convincing
worth it for the romance package, not worth it for me for a credit.

The Most Awesome Book

This is a book everyone should listen to. It is realistic, and makes you think about situations in life. If I could give it a 10 star rating I would. Stina Nielsen is a reader that makes you feel that you are living the story.
