FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE A touching novel set in the heart of the beautiful Amish country. . . .
HER AMISH MAN
Because Leah McKenzie’s mother was “shunned” for marrying an outsider, Leah has never known her Amish relatives. Then she is framed for a murder she didn’t commit, and she needs somewhere to hide until she can clear her name. Confident no one would think to search for her in an Amish community, she heads for her grandmother’s home in Illinois. A safe haven is all Leah is looking for, but she soon finds herself entranced by the simplicity of the old-fashioned lifestyle. What she doesn’t expect is to find a man there who stirs her heart.
When John Miller left his Amish village to attend college and join the military, he never thought he’d return. After the horrors he witnessed in war, however, he longed for a tranquillity he knew that he could find only among his own people. Working as a craftsman, making beautiful furniture, John has found in the soft warmth of the wood the peace he feared might be lost forever. But his world is soon turned upside down when he falls for the “English” woman who has come to be reunited with her kinsfolk. When danger follows Leah, John must not only protect her but decide if her love is worth the risk of being “banned” forever.
Synopsis
When a woman goes into hiding in Amish country, she finds safety and love where she never expects. Fresh out of law school, Leah McKenzie is working at her first job as an associate. When her boss, attorney Carl Trevathan, asks her to bring him a private file, she walks in to see him shot by two unknown men. Leah is traumatized, covered in his blood...and is quickly the lead suspect in the case, thanks to some machinations by Trevathan’s shifty partners.
Fearing for her life, Leah goes on the run to the only safe place she can think of—the home of her estranged grandmother, who lives in an Amish community in Illinois. She’s not exactly met with open arms, though, as her car runs into a ditch to avoid a horse and buggy on a narrow, wet road. The driver of the buggy, John Miller, fishes the unconscious Leah out of her car and takes her to his mother’s home to recuperate.
As Leah recovers, John is bemused but intrigued by Leah, who quickly finds herself entranced by the Amish lifestyle. John and Leah begin courting in earnest, but each must make some difficult choices—and figure out if an Amish and an English can truly make love work….
