One phone call. That's all it took to change the lives of Dinah Hershberger, her family, and that of Jacob Miller. The call came from, Anna, Jacob's sister who had left the their Amish community. She had all but vanished, but now she wanted Dinah to come meet her without telling Jacob. When they do meet, Anna hands her Isaac, her infant son, and she instructs Dinah to give him to Jacob to raise. Fearing what might happen if she doesn't take Isaac, the two of them return home. It has fallen on Dinah to introduce Isaac to his uncle.
What follows is a beautiful story about the power of family, whether it is the one you are born into or the one you make. Even though Dinah and Jacob are well defined strong characters, coming to terms with their new situation presents the ultimate test. Dinah's family steps up to help, but uncertainty prevails. Problems arise quickly and can go from bad to worse quickly if not handled properly. Can they keep Isaac safe?
I found A HARVEST OF LOVE by Marta Perry to be a unique and moving story that is populated with characters who have deep emotions and wisdom and who are not afraid to love. Highly recommended.
A determined widow and a single father learn that love is about taking chances and turning over new leaves in the quaint Amish community of Promise Glen, from national bestselling author Marta Perry.When widowed shop owner Dinah Hershberger is unceremoniously charged with safely escorting an infant to his uncle, she finds herself torn. Jacob Miller is everything Dinah could want in a partner—he’s kind, handsome, strong—and nothing she can ever have. As much as she yearns to help the new family adjust, each minute Dinah spends with Jacob and the baby leaves her heart more vulnerable and her head more certain that the secret she hides makes a future with the Miller men impossible.Jacob has long admired Dinah for her strength and independence, but it’s her generosity of spirit that tempts him like never before. With Dinah at his side, Jacob opens himself up to the daunting new world of fatherhood, but how can he pursue his feelings for her when his life is in such disarray? After the disappointments of her first marriage, she deserves better than what Jacob can offer.But love has a surprise in store for these two troubled hearts, and happiness is within reach if only they can grasp it, making Promise Glen their own promised land.
