  • Torn Between Two Loves

    What’s a girl to do when she loves animals and her boyfriend loves to hunt?

    Melinda Andrews believes all animals should be protected and cared for by humans. Her long-time sweetheart, Gabe Swartz believes in enjoying responsible hunting for food and population control. When Gabe proposes marriage to Melinda, she worries that their differences on this issue could war against their happiness.

    When a veterinary friend suggests Melinda make a career out of animal care – even go as far as veterinary schooling – Melinda is intrigued. But the desire to become a vet could drive more conflict between Melinda and Gabe – as well as alienate her from her family and close-knit Old-Order Amish community that doesn’t believe in college education or careers for women outside the home.

    How can Melinda realize her dream without losing all she loves?

  • Nowhere Else to Go But Home. . . 

    Faith Stutzman Andrews ran away from her Amish home in Webster County, Missouri, ten years ago to chase an unusual dream—that of being an entertainer on the English stage. After enduring an abusive marriage, Faith is now widowed and arrives back on her parents’ doorstep, hoping they’ll provide a stable home for her six-year-old daughter while Faith goes back on the comedy club tour. Will the lure of the English world prove too strong for Faith or will she discover that home is where her future lies?

    Confirmed bachelor and Christmas tree farmer Noah Hertzler isn’t your run-of-the-mill Amish man—he enjoys cooking and often bakes desserts for others, attaching a verse of Scripture to each of his culinary delights in the hopes of soothing the soul as well as nourishing the body. Will Noah’s methods grow stale with time, or will he capture Faith’s heart before she runs away again?

    Which dream will Faith ultimately choose—that of having the career she’s always wanted or the family she’s never had?
