The Amish residents of Willow Ridge share their talents at
the Simple Gifts crafts shop—and share the blessings of
faith, hard work, and love with their community—even when
family secrets bring unexpected challenges…
Making rugs for Simple Gifts has taught Loretta Riehl that
an unassuming pattern can reveal surprising depth. People,
too, have a way of defying first impressions. Drew
Detweiler came to Willow Ridge under a cloud, but the
handsome craftsman has gained the community’s respect for
his upholstery skills and commitment to making amends for
his mistakes. As her new brother-in-law’s twin, he’s
joining the family for dinners and Sunday visits at the
Riehl house, and Loretta can’t deny enjoying his
attentions.
If only her dat were willing to let a little joy into his
life. Cornelius Riehl grows more stern with each passing
day, and Drew suspects there’s more to his moods than
missing Loretta’s late mamm. Hoping to fulfill Loretta’s
wish to live in a peaceful, happy home again, Drew sets
out to learn the truth. It’s a journey that will bring to
light painful realities—but also the chance to forge a
new, honest, and loving future together…
