An unplanned pregnancy. An absent father. Can love really endure all things?
Danielle Kent is anything but Amish. But as destiny would have it, she has fallen in love with an Amish man.
Now she’s 18, pregnant, and hopeful that the child’s Amish father—Matthew Lapp—will do the right thing and marry her. She knows Matthew plans to leave his Colorado settlement for a life in the Englisch world. But that plan never included a baby.
When Matthew walks away from her and their unborn child, she has nowhere to turn. Her unlikely friendship with Levi offers some comfort—yet they have so little in common. This wasn’t the plan she had for her life, and she has never felt so alone. She doesn’t want to be pregnant. Doesn’t want to be Amish. Doesn’t want to trust God.
And yet.
God has plans beyond what her mind can imagine . . . loving plans to show a lost young woman that His love never fails but endures forever.

"What do I think...I think that I am a fan of Beth Wiseman's now! Lol! I have read a few Amish stories and found them utterly delightful. Somehow, and I'm not quite sure how, Ms. Wiseman gave me a different perspective into their lifestyle with her story. (This is the first book of hers that I have read.) Maybe it was the more personal look into their thoughts and feelings.... Though they strive to live apart from the world, they deal with pretty much the same thoughts and feelings as the rest of us. Perhaps also, the difference is that they constantly remind themselves of the Presence of God in everything. I'll be reading more of the Canaan Series for sure!"

" I really enjoyed this book. I hate Amish books. Well, maybe not hate. But I'm really sick of them. But this was the random book I pulled out and forced myself to read. I'm glad I read it. I really enjoyed the characters and depth of faith in this story. If all Amish books were this good, I'd read more of them. "
— Danica, 1/30/2014" I really liked this book. The plot was very well written and thought out; not too fast-paced and not too slow. I loved the characters and immediately fell in love with them. A great read. "
— Summer, 1/2/2014" Pretty standard Amish romance novel. Definitely enjoyable, though. "
— Lauren, 12/27/2013" another good book by this author. I love these books that include the Amish, but isn't solely about the Amish. "
— Kathryn, 10/3/2013" Really enjoyed the story though I cried my eyes out several times. "
— Lisa, 8/29/2013" For me, this book was amazing. I really enjoyed this book. It wasn't cookie cutter like so many books today. There were parts where I got teary-eyed and a lot of times when I burst out laughing. This is a book that I'd recommend and reread. So go get it "
— Maleah, 6/28/2013" Very good story. Was very happy for all the people in the story. "
— Virginia, 5/25/2013" As for me it's fantastic book. When I started I couldn't stop until I was done. "
— Gal4enok, 2/17/2013" Audiobook goes from a good volume to loud abruptly as the narrator changes voices. "
— Liz, 1/27/2013" Beth Wiseman is quickly becoming my favorite author. This book is beautiful. I loved the story and the message that it brings. What a wonderful book. "
— Paula, 1/20/2013" Book 3 of the Land of Canaan novels. I really liked the first 2, but I only gave this one 3 stars because the ending felt rushed, like she was in a hurry to get it finished. Still, a great story. "
