The Heart of an Amish Woodworker

Rachel Yoder has grand ideas. Fresh off her Rumspringa, she quickly grows bored with the lack of challenge at the farm stand with her father and seeks somewhere else to apply her talents and energy. Quiet, but hardworking Daniel Esh makes furniture, and he’s very good at what he does. What he’s not so good at is keeping his business afloat, mostly from lack of organization and a distaste for proper accounting. Daniel’s best friend Zeke, who happens to be Rachel’s brother, knows he needs help and suggests giving his sister a job. He grudgingly does so on a test basis, but quickly becomes unhappy with what he sees as an intrusion into his space and way of doing things, causing a troubled relationship right from the beginning. It takes time, but things finally start to pick up, and they come to a semblance of an understanding. But that changes one day when an old boyfriend from her Rumspringa days returns with lofty hopes to rekindle a romance. Now Daniel has a tough choice. For he must admit what he’s feeling to himself before he can admit those feelings to her. And that takes courage, along with a hope she feels the same way. But he may be running out of time…
