OF ALL THE GIFTS THAT LAST,
THE GREATEST IS CHARITY.
Although she is still in her twenties, Fanny Lapp has known
a lifetime of love and heartache. Twice widowed, she has a
home to maintain, a renovation in the works, and a family to
raise—all without a husband. Fortunately, in the Amish
community, help is never far away. To ease Fanny’s burdens,
the bishop sends Zed Miller to the Lapp house. Fanny is
drawn to kind, handsome Zed, who suffers from sins of the
past. But to everything there is a season, and Fanny cannot
act on her feelings while mourning her husband.
Newly returned to his Amish roots after many years in the
outside world, Zed knows he must prove himself to earn
acceptance from his community. Without a second thought, he
picks up a hammer and sets to work helping Fanny fulfill her
dream of turning an old carriage house into a women’s
childbirth center. Soon Zed finds himself a part of Fanny’s
daily chores, sharing her laughter and sorrow. Knowing that
time flows like a river, running slow and steady, Zed plans
to wait on his love. But when their secret is discovered,
how deep will the disapproval of their community run?
A reminder that the greatest gifts come from the heart, A
Simple Charity shines like the sun with the blessings of
everyday miracles.
