He doesn't plan to stay Amish. She doesn't have a plan.
Then an angel draws their hearts toward God . . . and each other.
A buggy-racing champion, a hardworking field-hand, and a terrible cook,
Rachel Hartzler does not fit her Amish community's standards for an
eligible bride. Hurt by their rejection and still grieving the loss of
her brother, Rachel is ready for change.
She's not, however, ready for Jordan Engles. Rachel's father hired him
to help tend the fields so Rachel can learn to cook and sew, thus
increasing her chances of finding a husband. She can't understand why
her father doesn't want her help and blames Jordan for trying to replace
her beloved brother.
Jordan plans for his time on the Michigan farm to be short. Before his
mother passed away, he promised her he'd give her Amish roots a chance.
Upon her death, uncertain about what else to do, he came to stay with
his Uncle Isaac in Hope Falls. He's curious why his mother left the
community she obviously loved. But it doesn't take Jordan long to
conclude that the strict lifestyle and the three hour church services
are not for him.
But there isn't just human interaction at play. Nathaniel, an angel of
God, sees the potential in Jordan and Rachel's hearts from heaven's
perspective. His goal is to shepherd them toward the path of healing and
love.
When tragedy strikes, then strikes again, this angelic being is sent to
guide them toward the healing and abundant life promised in God's Word -
if only they will listen.
