When she moves to Amish country to find peace and healing, Madeleine finds a special communityโand a special manโwho pull her out of her solitude into a new life.
Moving to Pennsylvania wasnโt in Madeleineโs original plans. She should still be in California and should have married her pilot fiancรฉ a year agoโbut death has a way of changing everything. Now the former Air Force flight nurse is living alone in Paradise, Pennsylvania, and working as a maid at the Lancaster Grand Hotel. She isnโt exactly a widow . . . but she sure feels like one.
Saul Beiler isnโt exactly a widower . . . but his wife is long gone. His eleven-year-old daughter, Emma, doesnโt know that her mother fled the Amish communityโand married another manโbut she does know that her dat is lonely, and that a pretty young maedel just moved in next door. Madelineโs numb heart begins to thaw as she spends more time with the innocent and ever optimistic Emma. The stronger her friendship grows with the young girl, the more intrigued Madeline grows about the humble, strong, man raising her on his own.
But even as a strange attraction pulls Saul and Madeleine across a stark cultural divide, theyโand everybody elseโ have to wonder: What could they possibly have in common besides heartache? Will love allow Madeleine to finally find the home sheโs been dreaming of all along?
