The Widow’s Spring

A Clean and Wholesome Amish Romance

De: Beth Ann Weaver

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The quilt pattern she has been stitching for two years is called Widow’s Path. She is beginning to want off it.

Rachel Bontrager was widowed at twenty-seven. At twenty-nine she quilts by propane lamp before the house wakes, sells through the dry goods store, and has arranged a life that asks nothing of anybody.

Then the schoolhouse needs rebuilding, and the carpenter the bishop sends boards with her family through the spring.

Eli does not court her. He mends the gate she had stopped seeing. He takes the long way back from town. He is on the porch step at the hour she is usually alone, and neither of them says a word about it for a very long time.

Maple Bend watches, because Maple Bend always watches. And when Eli’s estranged brother comes back after eleven years, the question stops being whether Rachel is ready and becomes what a family is willing to forgive.

A slow, chaste courtship, a community that holds people up as firmly as it holds them to account, and a second marriage that has to be built rather than fallen into.

Book One of The Maple Bend Amish. Clean and wholesome throughout, a complete story with a happy ending, and the first of a series.
