Publisher Description
Beloved bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray returns with the second book in her Amish Brides of Pinecraft series— a story of finding the strength to follow your dreams . . . and your heart
Penny Troyer never disobeys her parents. But tonight she's bending the rules because Michael Knoxx—the most famous member of the Knoxx Family, a traveling Mennonite evangelical family—is scheduled to speak. Penny has heard of Michael—how he lost part of his leg in a terrible accident and uses the experience to inspire others—and knows she must meet him . . . even if it means challenging her parents' strict rules and taking the first step toward her own independence.
Though he speaks about living life to the fullest, Michael knows he needs to take his own advice. Life on the road is grueling and Michael wants to slow down, to rest . . . to perhaps meet someone who sees him as a man, not just a celebrity. So when a twist of fate allows him the chance to stay a little longer in Pinecraft, Michael knows God is showing him a new path, especially when he discovers that Penny has also survived a terrible ordeal.
But as Michael's time in Pinecraft comes to an end, Michael and Penny are left to wonder what kind of future they could possibly have together. Are they brave enough to take the chance given to them? Or will they choose to cling to what is familiar, even if it pushes away their dream of happiness?

The Proposal at Siesta Key is Shelley Shepard Grays’s 2nd in her Amish Brides of Pinecraft series. Penny is a young Amish lady who is trying to balance growing into her own God-given person, while attempting to fulfill her parents' wishes for her. Complicating this situation is that since Penny's sister died in a tragic accident, her parents are understandably more protective and restrictive of her life. Finally, she decides to test her wings a bit, by acquiring a job in a local Bed and Breakfast inn in the small Amish settlement in Pinecraft Florida. While there, part of her assignment is to assist a famous Christian motivational speaker, who is convalescing at the inn after surgery. The two form a growing friendship that enriches both their lives. Will they be able to continue to friendship once he is on the road again, or will more develop. Will Penny's family ever accept her independence as a young woman - or will she return to the fold and continue life as it was? I especially appreciated that the story contained not only young people but also important middle-aged characters, as well. ?I definitely look forward to checking out more of Gray's books in the future.
