Publisher's summary

A heartwarming tale of courage and love from Amish fiction's number-one author.

When a well-to-do family asks Sallie Riehl to be their daughter's nanny for the summer at their Cape May, New Jersey, vacation home, she jumps at the chance to broaden her horizons beyond the Lancaster County Amish community where she grew up. Sallie has long dreamed of seeing more of the world, but her parents are reluctant for her to put off baptism yet another summer, and the timing is unfortunate for Perry Zook, who has renewed interest in courting her.

Though she loves nannying, Sallie has free time on the weekends to enjoy the shore. It is there that she meets Kevin Kreider, a marine biology student who talks freely about all he's learning and asks about her interests, unlike most of the guys she grew up with. Time with Kevin is invigorating, and Sallie realizes she's never felt quite this alive around Perry. Then again, Kevin is Mennonite, not Amish.

Sallie tries to brush aside her growing feelings for Kevin, but she fears what her parents would think about her new friendship. Just as concerning, however, is Sallie's realization that her time in Cape May is increasing her desire to see the world, challenging her plans for the future. Has she been too hasty with her promises, or will Sallie only find what her heart is longing for back home in Paradise Township?

God Delights in His Mysterious Leading

Sally grows up in an Amish family but her wanderlust leads her to become a Nanny for Autumn and her baby brother. She meets an unforgettable young man who she thinks will never fit into her Amish family. She decides to go back to her Amish community and honor her family. God really comes through by leading her on a surprising journey of love and fulfilled dreams.

She did it again

I've never been disappointed in a Beverly Lewis title and I certainly wasn't with this one either.

Beautiful story

Such a beautiful love story. In a world that doesn't value relationships, God and pure love it is a refreshing respite.

Really enjoyed it

This was my first Beverly Lewis book, I was pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed Sally’s character, along with the descriptions of the ocean.

Favorite from Beverly Lewis

This is my current favorite from Beverly Lewis. Something so extra beautiful in this story. The way Sally is able to recognize that her desire is good and godly, even though it isn’t what she grew up learning to be acceptable.
