Everyone needs a safe place to call home When her mother
passes away, Ella's forced to auction off her family's farm.
Her father died years ago, and she could never manage the
fifty acres on her own. But after she moves to town, she
can't deny the pain she feels watching the new owner, Loyal
Weaver, repairing her family's old farmhouse—everything Ella
had once dreamed of doing. What Ella doesn't know is that
Loyal secretly hopes she will occupy this house again . . .
as his wife. He begins inviting her over, to ask her opinion
on changes he wants to make. As their friendship blooms,
Ella starts to wonder about Loyal's intentions, especially
when her best friend, Dorothy, hints that Loyal is not who
he seems. There's no way the golden boy of their close-knit
Amish community could be interested in Ella, long the
wallflower, hidden away caring for her ailing parents.
Should she trust the man she's always yearned for, or the
friend who's always been by her side? When one of them
threatens to disrupt the independence she's finally
achieved, Ella is faced with a choice. She can protect her
heart and keep things the way they've always been. Or she
can come out of her shell, risk everything for the love
she's always wanted, and finally have a place to call home.
