発行者による作品情報
In this heartwarming series from Amy Lillard, three generations of women find the Oklahoma Amish community of Wells Landing a heaven-sent opportunity to take new leaps of faith . . .
Wife, widow, mother, and grandmother—sixty-something Nadine Burkhart is everything a sensible Amish woman is supposed to be. She’s moved to Wells Landing to give her daughter-in-law and granddaughter a fresh start—not herself. So as far as she’s concerned, good-hearted farmer Amos Fisher should find something better to do than try to draw her out, be there when she needs help—and make her believe in love for the first time . . .
A friendly but solitary man, Amos is realizing there’s more to life than work. Although he hasn’t courted in years, Nadine’s honesty makes him long to know her better—and understand her standoffishness. But when everything he tries fails to soften her stubbornness, he’ll just have to trust his heart that real, true, and utterly impractical love will prevail—for a lifetime . . .

Sixty-four-year-old Nadine Burkhardt, who has been widowed twice, has just moved with her daughter-in-law and disabled adult granddaughter to the small Amish community of Wells Landing for a new start. One day in church, she notices a man with bright blue eyes staring at her and cannot stop wondering about him. She learns that he is Amos Fisher, a bachelor about her age who recently moved back to town. Amos falls in love with Nadine the moment he sees her and believes God has brought them together. However, convincing her is easier said than done Nadine reacts angrily to Amos's attentions and announces she is uninterested in finding love again and Amos starts to question his relationship with God. But despite Nadine's protestations, Amos keeps asking her out, and she begins to enjoys Amos's company, finally agreeing to be his friend. When Amos's health becomes a concern, Nadine must face her fears of commitment as she questions her true feelings for Amos. Lillard's rich descriptions of Amish life and endearing portrayal of Amos's courtship will please any fan of Amish fiction. Series fans are in for a treat.
