Good-hearted and impulsive, twenty-year-old Lizzie Fisher has many chores–and secrets. She’s caring for kittens abandoned by their mother and practicing her drawing talent away from disapproving eyes. So the last thing she needs is someone like handsome Stephen Zimmerman constantly “helping” her out of trouble. But when she discovers they both have lovelorn siblings, she has an idea: why can’t she and Stephen bring his older brother and her older sister together? After all, how hard could matchmaking be?
Even though he’s the youngest son of an Old Order Mennonite family, Stephen is used to looking out for everyone else. Yet somehow the romantic schemes he and Lizzie cook up keep going awry–in ways that hint they may suit each other. But their deepening bond is both delightful and complicated–for bridging their differences will take bravery, compromise, and faith in their hopes and dreams…

Rosanna would do anything to keep baby Mollie–perhaps even agree to marriage. But will Rosanna continue to hold him at arm’s length, or will she see that he longs to offer her the love and family she deserves?

Even though her childhood sweetheart became the man she longed to marry, Samuel never saw or wrote Lena again after his family abruptly moved away. Now a widow, Lena is determined to keep Samuel’s helpful ways and irresistible good humor at arm’s length–no matter how often he’s there when she needs him most… A restless father with a shameful secret was the reason Samuel’s many letters never got to Lena. And it’s why Samuel can’t bring himself to tell Lena the truth–even though he’s doing everything he can to regain her trust and prove he’s worthy of the resourceful woman she’s become. But as a rival for his affections complicates matters, Samuel and Lena must somehow put the past to rest–and believe that faith, honesty, and rekindled love will be more than enough to finally build a family together…

Like most Amish young women, Phoebe Yoder has dreams–but not of a courtship–at least not yet. She dreams of caring for the tender-hearted alpacas at her Englischer neighbor’s farm and learning the business herself. But that longing falls away the moment her baby sister goes missing. In that horrifying instant, desperate for her sister’s safe return, she whispers a promise to Gott: she will give up her dreams and marry Micah Graber, a man she doesn’t love, but who is determined to make her his wife. Benjamin Miller hasn’t been back in southern Maryland for long before he meets Phoebe and begins to imagine what a fine life they could build together–beginning with an alpaca farm of their own. But he can see that Phoebe’s brash vow is all she will consider, no matter what her heart wants. As Ben falls for her gentle manner and sweet, sad eyes, he comes to understand his daunting task: to convince Phoebe that together, they can make a new promise that will never be broken.
