The Forbidden Caller

Twenty-four was too young to be a widow, but Jenna Graber is learning that grief doesn't follow anyone's timeline. Nearly two years after losing her husband, Jimmy, in a workplace accident, she's still struggling to make ends meet while raising her five-year-old daughter. When Jenna is invited to join the Amish Widows Club, blooming friendships stir hope in her heart. And thank goodness for Nelson Harper, the Englischer who owns the mill where Jimmy worked. His steady friendship and generous help have been a lifeline. 


Nelson Harper knows he's treading on dangerous ground having fallen for Jenna and her precious daughter--their worlds seem impossibly far apart. Religious differences and Jenna's grief make the divide almost impossible to cross, and Nelson carries a burden that could destroy the trust between them. As long-buried secrets surface, Jenna must face hard truths about the past--and decide what her heart can accept for the future.


New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray weaves a tender story of healing and hope, exploring how faith, friendship, and unexpected love can mend broken hearts.
