Life has taken much from Linda Zook. Now she dares to hope
for a chance at love and a new beginning.
Linda Zook, 32, works part-time at the Lancaster Grand
Hotel. As the sole survivor of a buggy accident
that left her orphaned at age four, she was raised by her
unwilling Uncle Reuben. Linda longs to be
worthy of someone, but the life-long effects of her
injuries and her upbringing under the care of her
embittered uncle have destroyed her self-worth.
Aaron Ebersol, 32, left the Amish community 17 years ago
when he could no longer bear the restrictions
or the constant tension with his father. He’d written too
many unanswered letters to his mother and
found himself incapable of putting down any roots in his
new home in Missouri. Success in work could not
replace the family that denied Aaron, even after all of
these years.
Aaron hastily returns to the Amish community of Paradise,
PA, after receiving word of his mother’s
stroke. Hesitant to get too close to the family he was
once a part of, he decides to stay at the Heart
of Paradise Bed & Breakfast. He soon encounters Linda,
working there part-time, and they begin to
develop a friendship.
Aaron’s return allows him to reconnect with his family as
he jumps into home improvement projects,
hoping to make his parents’ house more accessible to his
handicapped mother. But before long, he is
enraged to learn that his brother, Solomon, had hidden all
of Aaron’s letters to their mother.
Linda and Aaron must each learn to forgive the family
members who have deceived and forsaken them. And
Aaron must also show Linda that she is worthy of his love.
