From the author of An Amish Christmas and A Plain & Fancy Christmas comes a heartwarming novel of marriage and family, new beginnings and poignant homecomings—just in time for the holidays.

After her husband, Shep, loses his latest job, Jennie Davis
is grateful to be in a car en route to beautiful Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania. Shep has inherited a house from a
distant cousin, along with the cousin’s long-established
bicycle shop. The move gives Jennie, Shep, and their two
children a welcome chance for a fresh start.

While Shep dives into his new venture at the bike shop,
Jennie carefully restores their broken-down house. She loves
being a stay-at-home mom but yearns to find some fulfillment
outside of her family—particularly as they struggle
financially. On morning walks, she forges a friendship with
her Amish neighbor, Mattie Fisher, who opens up about her
modest way of life. Mattie’s unswerving good character in
the face of adversity encourages Jennie to seek practical
solutions to her own difficulties. A passing remark by
Jennie’s son transforms desperation about their finances
into inspiration, leading her to embark upon a candy-making
enterprise.

Soon, Jennie’s newfound purpose collides with Shep’s growing
stress at work and long-simmering tensions between husband
and wife rise to the surface. As the holiday season
approaches, their family is challenged as never before—until
an unexpected visitor arrives to give Jennie the greatest
gift of all.
