    About this series

    In this latest novel in Virginia Wise's enthralling historical saga about America's first Amish settlement, two devoted sisters forge ahead in a difficult new world-only to find that love is a thrilling discovery of its own . . .

    Outgoing and irrepressible, young Christina has her choice of suitors. But she and her practical-minded older sister, Hilda, have built a thriving life in the rugged Pennsylvania backcountry. Hilda has given up her marriage dreams as foolish-and Christina vows she'll never marry until she finds her sister a husband. So when two handsome newcomers arrive, Christina engages in a bit of secret matchmaking-with disastrous results . . .

    Johan is used to hard work and overcoming obstacles. He's instantly drawn to Christina's lively nature-and agrees with her that his serious brother, Wilhelm, would be perfect for Hilda. But Christina's selfless schemes are keeping her from seeing how much Johan really cares for her. And between mishaps, mistakes, and an unintentional masquerade, Christina and Johan will need to search their hearts to understand themselves, set things right-and embark on a future together . . .

      In this sweeping new historical series by Virginia Wise, a young woman finds a new life in America's first Amish settlement-and discovers that love requires a special sort of courage . . . Pennsylvania, 1737. Greta Scholtz braved a perilous journey-and the loss of her beloved father-to find religious freedom in America. With two orphan children she's taken under her wing, she's trying hard to survive this rugged new world. So she won't let settlement elders pressure her into marrying reserved widower Jacob Miller. She and Jacob simply can't agree on anything-even if the unexpected feeling between them is proving an irresistible force . . . After losing his wife and baby, grief-stricken Jacob keeps everyone at arm's length. Duty is the only reason he began helping the headstrong Greta make a life for herself and her charges. Yet he's grown to admire her, especially her strength in the face of obstacles-including him and his wounded ways. But wrenching misunderstandings and a jealous rival could separate them forever. To find harmony-and perhaps even a future together-Greta and Jacob must take a leap of faith and risk opening their hearts . . .

      In the latest novel in Virginia Wise's stirring historical saga about America's first Amish settlement, a once-privileged woman in a very different new world soon finds that hope-and love-are worth the challenge . . . Scandal drove Catrina Wittmer from her life as a wealthy Englischer's pampered daughter-to reluctant membership in Pennsylvania's thriving new Amish settlement. Surprisingly, Catrina finds contentment and peace in this promising new land, though she won't risk telling anyone about her past. But the unexpected sparks between her and bashful warm-hearted farmer Eli Weber suddenly have her dreaming of an impossible chance at happiness-as his wife. Eli never imagined such a spirited woman would look his way. Or that he could ever deserve her, given his own guilty mistakes. But Catrina's vivacity and kindness has him impulsively proposing. Unfortunately, his over-righteous sister, and the consequences of secrets on both sides, threaten to tear their marriage apart for good. Now Catrina and Eli must try forgiving themselves and finding strength in their bond if they are to have a joyous future together . . .
