Publisher's summary

She was waiting for love - and found it in the most unexpected place.

Jorie King’s life is on hold. She has been waiting for Ben Zook to return to Lancaster County. Waiting for him to settle down and join the church. Waiting to marry him. But when news arrives that Ben has been killed, Jorie is devastated. She finds unlikely comfort in the friendship of his brother Caleb. Friendship ripens into love, and two broken hearts plan for a life filled with the promise of a fresh beginning - until their worlds are turned upside down. With her realistic characters whose weaknesses develop into strengths, Suzanne Woods Fisher offers a listening experience that rises above the others. You will love growing in spirit with these complex people living the simple life as The Waiting transports you into a world where things aren’t as simple as they seem.

I needed to hear the lessons in this story. God used these words to give me peace.

Amish love and mystery.

What made the experience of listening to The Waiting the most enjoyable?

The characters in the book are believable and I picture them in my head as the book progresses. Very interesting development of the plot from many angles. I would love to have this continued as a series.

Great story

Loved the story. The narrator does a good performance, but is annoyingly nasal on the men's voices. Otherwise a great listen.

Not a Sequel

What did you love best about The Waiting?

This is a very nice story - the characters are well developed and believable. The only thing that I was disappointed in is that it is not a sequel to the first story. Since this is a series, I was surprised to hear that not only were these completely different characters, but it takes place during a different time period.
