An Amish courtship no one expected...
But is he too good to be true?
To prove she has a fun side, ultraserious Lovey Stutzman accepts her sister’s dare: a buggy ride with Hickory Grove’s most handsome Amish bachelor. But what Lovey can’t accept is Marshall Byler’s claim that he fell in love with her at first sight. Now Marshall must defy everyone’s expectations—including his family’s—to prove his intentions once and for all.
EMMA MILLER lives quietly in her old farmhouse in rural Delaware. Fortunate enough to be born into a family of strong faith, she grew up on a dairy farm, surrounded by loving parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Emma was educated in local schools and once taught in an Amish schoolhouse. When she’s not caring for her large family, reading and writing are her favorite pastimes.

“I still need to add the sugar…”
“You’re telling me,” Marshall replied. His voice came out in a strangled croak and he began to cough again.
Lovey pointed at him with her spoon. “Sorry. Though my mam did teach me to make lemonade so you could taste the lemons.”
“Did she?” He laughed. He was captivated by the pretty young woman’s eyes, her smile. “Your mam would approve of this batch for certain.”
“I am sorry,” she repeated. Then she giggled again.
Marshall watched her. “I can see I’ll have to be more careful about reading signs literally when I come in here.”
“Maybe you should.” She smiled to herself, adding the sugar to the pitcher.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her. There was something so familiar about her.
This girl wore the Amish clothing of every other local girl he knew, but there was something remarkably different, yet familiar, about her...as though he’d known her all his life. And suddenly he wanted to know her for the rest of his life.
Thank you for joining me in Hickory Grove, an Amish community just a stone’s throw from Seven Poplars in Kent County, Delaware. Rosemary and Benjamin have their hands full with their new blended family, don’t they? I suspect there will be bumps in the road, but the family’s love for each other and their faith will see them through.
I hope you enjoyed Lovey and Marshall’s story. Marshall had me worried there for a few minutes. Thank goodness his grandmother intervened. We all make mistakes sometimes and it takes a wise man or woman to accept our loved ones’ shortcomings. I think Lovey and Marshall are perfect for each other, don’t you?
I hope you’ll join me in Hickory Grove again soon. I have a wonderful story of forgiveness to share with you when I introduce Benjamin’s son Joshua to a newcomer, Phoebe. The love they find will truly warm your heart.
Until we meet again, friends.
I wish you peace and happiness.
