Pregnant and unwed, Becky Troyer is a pariah in her Missouri Amish community. Even after she confesses her sin, she's shunned---and despairs of ever finding love. But things seem to change when Jacob Miller comes to help on her family's farm. Will their relationship grow? Or is Jacob merely being kind to Becky?

Tell us a little about yourself. I'm a pastor's wife, a homeschool mom of five children and I love reading.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? That God is the God of second chances. He loves us so much that He doesn't want us to wallow in our mistakes, but He wants to forgive us and shower us with undeserved love.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? I think what hit me most was when I realized that God isn't going to withhold love from us. It was such a wow moment when I wrote that.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? I love reading Beverly Lewis, Susanne Fisher Woods, Mary Ellis, and other Amish authors - plus I have a wide variety of other favorites in other genres. Like Susan Mae Warren's suspense, and Kristin Billerbeck's chicklits, and Tricia Goyer's WWII stories, I could go on and on.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy Patchwork Dreams!
