In the second book of the New Hope Amish series, acclaimed author Kelly Irvin spins a tale of romance, grief, and redemption deep in Amish country.
Phoebe Christner is thrilled when the families of her close-knit Amish community decide to spend a week at the lake. She feels she’s earned a break…and it doesn’t hurt that Michael Daugherty will be coming along. They’ll find ways to spend time together—she’s certain of it—and their romance will have time to blossom.
But when tragedy strikes, Phoebe and Michael are torn apart by their pain and the knowledge of their guilt. As they both cope with the loss of a loved one, they will come to discover that they are worthy not only of each other’s love, but God’s love.
A tender novel of faith and family set in the heart of Amish country.
"I've said before that Irvin's Amish fiction transcends the
genre. Her stories are so well constructed, they do not idolize or
idealize the Amish, and she has a wonderful touch with painting
characters that won't let you go."

"Once again, Kelly Irvin has written a powerful, moving story
about the Amish of New Hope. Readers will be anxious to finish the
story to discover what happens but, at the same time, will be sad
to leave the characters behind at the conclusion as they have
become friends. Kelly's descriptions and dialogue are flawless. Her
message of forgiveness and grace are applicable to everyone. If you
want a wonderful story with an important message....this is
it!"

"...raw and emotional and a book I could not put down."
