"The second eldest, Beth Schrock always believed herself the most level-headed sibling. Yet after almost two years in Ohio, Beth’s life remains the most unsettled.
Unlike her younger sister and brothers, Beth has yet to become Amish, or fall in love, much less marry.
Still, she is about to take on the biggest responsibility of them all. She is going to be a mother. A single mother. While she's not proud of her actions, she is excited, and hopeful about a new sense of purpose.
When Beth takes part-time work at Junior Lambright's candle factory, it doesn't take long for unexpected sparks to ignite—or for Junior to become the friend Beth clearly needs. But neither expects a romance. Ten years older than Beth, Junior seems content to devote himself to work and his two senior Labradors. And as Beth's due date looms, she must decide whether to return to Cleveland and her high-paying, high-stress job. But she'd miss so much about Walden—including Junior . . . And then, Junior proposes.
Beth is sure Junior's offer is only to save her reputation . . . Unless, like her, Junior is also yearning for something more. With faith, and the courage to open their hearts, they might soon find out . . ."

When Jonny hears startling news about his health, he knows it's past time to change his life. Quitting college, he unexpectedly finds the job of his dreams. And he's instantly smitten with cafe owner Treva Kramer, whose baked goods are as warm and delicious as her lively personality. But no matter how hard Jonny tries, he can't seem to get past her secret sadness and distrust. Can he prove that his feelings for her are for real—and forever—in time?
A bad breakup left Treva heartbroken—and resolved to be independent without relying on anyone ever again. Exhausted from pouring everything she's got into her cafe, she's stunned by Jonny's easygoing ways—and drawn to his optimistic nature. But when she thinks his real interest is in becoming Amish, she's even more determined to stay focused—and keep her heart safe . . . Soon, deep secrets and hidden family truths will test Jonny and Treva in unexpected ways. And with help from his warm-hearted grandparents, he and Treva might gain the happiness they secretly long for—with each other."

Now the four want to try living with them and joining their faith—much to the Schrocks' surprise . . .
Martin, the eldest, is reeling from a bad breakup. When he meets his grandparents' neighbor, Patti Coblentz, he's immediately drawn to her outgoing, helpful nature—but is so overwhelmed that he appears blunt and rude. Is there any way he can drop his defenses enough to admit she's captured his heart?
Always self-conscious about the birthmark on her temple, Patti is resigned to never marrying and busying herself with the responsibilities of the large home and property she has inherited. Besides, Martin's the last man she'd ever want to wed—no matter how handsome he is.
Given time and patience—and adhering to their grandparents' unexpectedly challenging rules—the whole family might just find what they’re looking for."
