In Sarah Price’s heartwarming Amish version of this
best-loved fairytale, a hardworking, overlooked young woman
is rewarded in unexpected ways . . .
“Be kind and have faith.” Ella Troyer strives to abide by
her mother’s final words, although life in the small Amish
town of Echo Creek isn’t always easy. Her new stepmother,
Linda, treats her coldly, and her two stepsisters, Drusilla
and Anna, delight in gossip and laziness. After her father’s
death, Ella’s stepsisters are free to attend youth singings
while Ella stays at home to manage the household chores,
rarely seeing another soul. Until one day, while running an
errand, she has a chance meeting with a young Amish man from
a nearby town.
Drusilla and Anna are full of admiration for charming,
affluent newcomer Johannes Wagler, and Linda hopes to
ensnare him as a husband for one of her girls—while keeping
Ella out of the way. As for Hannes, he longs to catch
another glimpse of the mysterious young woman who can sing
so sweetly and bake the most delicious pie he’s ever
sampled. Now, with a little help from some unlikely sources,
Ella dares to hope she might find her heart’s dearest
wishes—for love, family, and a home of her own—coming true
at last . . .
