Falling in love can only mean trouble for an Englisch girl and an
Amish boy... unless there's another way for them to listen to their
hearts.
Englischer Natalie Collins looks forward to Friday night suppers at
Levi and Mary Shetler's house every week: delicious food, wonderful
conversation with her Amish friends, and, best of all, the presence of
Levi's older brother Lucas. Natalie and Lucas have become best friends
despite their different backgrounds. They share a love of books, and he
is teaching her about God in a way she can understand.
But the closer they become, the more opinions everyone seems to have.
Levi and Mary, Lucas's family, and even Natalie's mother--whose own life
is a mess at the moment--have concerns about their relationship. Why
can't everyone understand that it's possible to just be friends?
Besides, they couldn't be together even if they wanted to be. Lucas
would never leave the Amish faith, and Natalie is Englisch and
pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine.
But when a terrifying accident happens, Natalie and Lucas are forced to
confront their true feelings and decide if they can stay true to
themselves and each other.
This sweet Amish story is the second in the Amish Journeys series by
bestselling author Beth Wiseman.
"I always find Beth Wiseman's books to be both tenderly romantic and
thought provoking. She has a way of setting a scene that makes me feel
like I'm part of an Amish community and visiting for supper. I loved the
title of this book, the message about faith and God, and the heartfelt
romance between Lucas and Natalie. Listening to Love has everything I
love in a Beth Wiseman novel--a strong faith message, a touching
romance, and a beautiful sense of place. Beth is such an incredibly
gifted storyteller." --Shelley Shepard Gray
"Listening to Love is vintage Beth Wiseman...clear your calendar
because you're going to want to read this one in a single sitting."
