Amish Heartbreaker

Daniel Stolzfus knows he disgraced himself and his familye when he jilted the woman he was to marry, entering the Englischer world. Like the Prodigal Son, he returns to his Amish roots determined to follow God's direction from this point forward. He knows that although they forgive him, many Amish no longer trust him. Since he's no longer being given his parents' farm, he goes to work in Joel Troyer's buggy shop. It's there that he meets and is drawn to Lydia Troyer, the only daughter still living with Joel and Miriam.

Lydia is in big trouble. Having allowed her loneliness while on rumspringa to lead to her sleeping with an Englischer, she's now pregnant and unmarried. When Daniel discovers her plight, he offers her marriage with his broken self to enable her to raise her child. Deeply conflicted, Lydia's prayers lead her to accept his offer. Both struggling to accept God's forgiveness, they embark upon a life together. Daniel is greatly looking forward to fathering the child Lydia carries, which he insists is now his child. He feels deeply betrayed, though, when he finds that Lydia wrote to tell the Englischer of her pregnancy...and Daniel later sees her with the man. It's not until that moment when Daniel realizes how deeply he's come to love the wife who seems to be leaving him for the Englischer world. Can Lydia defend having told the Englischer about her pregnancy and convince Daniel that she loves him?
