Salina is engaged to the "perfect" man--except for the fact that
Josiah feels more like a friend than a fiancé. In this second
installment of Amy Clipston's Amish Marketplace series, love begins to
grow between Salina and Will, a Mennonite chef--and both must decide if
it's a love worth fighting for.
Salina Petersheim runs her own booth at the Amish market, where she's
known for having the freshest and most delicious produce in the area.
Her family is very close, yet sometimes she tires of being compared to
her older brother, Neil, a deacon who is married with two children. She
also feels the pressure of having to be the perfect daughter for her
mother and father, who is a bishop.
Salina has been dating Josiah for almost a year now, but he feels more
like a friend than a boyfriend. Her parents approve of Josiah, who is a
hardworking roofer. He's handsome and easy to talk to, but he just
doesn't warm her heart the way she feels a boyfriend and future husband
should. She secretly longs for more.
Along comes Will Zimmerman, a Mennonite chef who runs a restaurant
located next door to the Amish market. Salina begins supplying the
produce for his restaurant, and as they forge a business relationship,
they both feel themselves falling in love. Salina tries to deny her
feelings for Will since her father wants her to marry within the
community.
Both Salina and Will feel stuck in their current relationships, but they
cannot deny what they feel for each other. Will they follow their hearts
or bow to the pressure of family? Or will God provide a surprising new
road for them?
