Loving Lovina: The Infamous Amish, Book Three

With the latest book in her Infamous Amish series, Patricia Johns crafts an uplifting, sensitive story about a young woman striving to reclaim the promise of love and community after losing her memory in an accident. As she navigates her old life where everything is unfamiliar, can she rediscover her guiding faith and reconnect with the steadfast young man to whom she is engaged and build a hopeful future? When the peaceful Amish community of Bountiful, Pennsylvania, is rocked by scandal, the three Yoder siblings must each find their path to love, family, and forgiveness… Waking in the hospital after a car accident, Lovina Yoder doesn't remember the Amish family who claim her as their own-or the man who says he's her fiancé. Thoughtful and handsome, Johannes Miller clearly cares for her, and Lovina longs to recall the walks and buggy rides he describes, and the plans they once made. Life in the Amish community seems full of joy, faith, and warmth. And yet, Lovina senses there is something more in her past, just beyond her grasp… Gott has answered Johannes' prayer to bring Lovina back-but not quite as he hoped. A year ago, she ran away to the Englisher world, unable to face the community after her daet's misdeeds. Her family hopes that Lovina can rediscover her Amish heart before those painful recollections return. Johannes loves her as deeply as ever, but if she walked away once, will she leave again, taking his dream of home and family with her? Or will the new memories they are making together, day by day, convince her that this Bountiful future is Gott's plan for them both?

As a bishop's daughter and good Amish mother, widowed Sadie Hochstetler teaches her young son that God blesses those who try their best to please Him.

Yet something remains-a spark that, for all their differences, might light the way home again . . .
