Publisher Description
Three heartwarming tales of old friends and new beginnings that span one year in an Amish community:
A Change of Heart by Beth Wiseman
Leah is no good at cooking, cleaning, sewing, gardening—the skills that young women need to make a proper Amish wife. All she wants to do is write stories, but she's sincerely tired of being a disappointment. Will she ever find someone who accepts her just as she is? And can an almost-Amish angel in red polka dots help her find her way?
A Place of His Own by Kathleen Fuller
When Josiah left Paradise the first time, he didn't even say good-bye. Now he's back, ten years later, and he's changed. Why is he so distant and bitter? Where is the boy who used to be Amanda's best friend? Amanda is learning that there are things even a capable Amish girl can't fix. But can she stand there and watch him walk away...again?
When Winter Comes by Barbara Cameron
It's been too long since Rebecca has done what she loves—put on her skates and fly across the ice. Five years have passed since a winter accident took her twin Lizzie and left Rebecca heartbroken. And Ben has waited for her all that time. At last she's starting to heal. But has too much time passed for their hearts to reconnect?

"This is a coming-of-age book about two Amish sisters--one who struggles with wanting the "freedom" of the nonAmish life and the other who is seemingly obedient to her faith and family. It is a well-written, sweet story that really mirrors the both sides in each of us. "

" 3 books in one. The first story was ok, the second story was much better, and the third story was best. I was hoping to learn more about the Amish lifestyle, but not a lot of that was really folded into the stories (besides some of the language). "
