Because of Joel’s impossible situation, twenty-one-year-old
Rose must sacrifice everything. As days pass into years in
the midst of the beautiful hills, the laughter of children,
and God’s providence—is it too much for Rose to hope for
love in return?
An amazing journey toward love and belonging, filled with
the wonder of the season of Christ’s birth.
When Old Order Amish Rose Kurtz is asked to leave her
family, travel deep into West Virginia, and help Joel
Dienner with his children in the wake of tragedy, the quiet
young woman recognizes a home where she might find kindness
instead of criticism and hope replacing harsh words. She
agrees to stay in Forest Hill and become Joel’s wife for the
sake of his family needs, but their marriage is to be a
partnership, one built from need, not love and affection.
As the years pass, Rose continues to beckon Joel to join
life again, to take joy in his growing children, and to
awaken his heart to the possibility of new love. Joel hopes
that Rose can move beyond deep-rooted hurts to see the
beautiful Christmas ahead, their season. But will the
arrival of a beautiful widow and a series of
misunderstandings reverse how far Rose and Joel have come?
