Publisher's summary

God always had a plan. But how could falling in love with an Englischer be God’s plan for one young Amish woman?

Young Cassie Weaver only wants what is expected of an Amish woman: a good Amish husband and a large family. But she’s happy as Job and Dinah Keim’s housekeeper, helping Dinah, who is losing her sight due to diabetes. For two decades the Keims have prayed for the salvation of their two children who left the community in a cloud of shame and mystery.

Mason knew there was more to his mother’s past than she let on, but nothing could have prepared him for learning about his Amish roots upon his mother’s sudden death. Even more surprising, his mother named her Amish parents, Job and Dinah, as guardians to her five children. Now Mason has to trust that this couple, and their pretty housekeeper, can take care of his younger siblings, even when all he wants is to take care of them himself.

As the children adjust to this new lifestyle, Mason finds himself pulled back to the Keims’ home. Yes, he wants to see his siblings, but it’s the conversations with Cassie that keep him coming back for more. Is there more to this Amish faith and how does it play into his own past? Cassie guards against her growing feelings for Mason, because there can be no happy ending for a Plain girl in love with an Englisch man...right?

Best-selling and award-winning Amish romance novelist Kelly Irvin is back with a heartwarming tale of the power of love to heal all wounds.

Amazing

This story had heart break, abuse, forgiveness and the importance of family. Would read again

Fantastic

Great family story together showing how love can come back to one another through the faith of the Lord

a true test of faith

I love this story it really hits home for me because I had to turn to another faith then my family at 15. At 45 I still do. Now my children have a different faith then I do. It's a hard thing to do so it was a good thing for Mason to turn towards his family in the faith he truly believed in. I made my own family out of members of faith. It hard to turn from everything you are taught as a child to join a new faith. He found is true love after he chose his faith. So he believe in faith first, family second and community last. I don't know if I could do without the advantages of the world to be plain. If God points you in the direction of the faith he feels you need. Never say no because things would be different like in Mason's case he would be with faith, family and a way of life God chose for him long before is birth. His mother knew what path her children needed before she died because she felt her sins shouldn't be her children's sin and they truly need the faith she walked away from but turn back to without anyone knowing but her and God.

Great story

This book kept my interest all the way through. It was happy and sad. I really enjoyed it .

Great story

Heartwarming story about a broken family Amish family. For me, it was a bit slow getting into the storyline, but overall I enjoyed the characters and reconciliations that took place. Love the wholesome language and Christian theme.
