Description

The year is 1777. America is in turmoil. And Amish life is far different than today.

Pennsylvania in the late 18^th century, once called William Penns Woods, was an assortment of different faiths living together for the first time in American history. Included in this tapestry was a small and struggling population called Amish.

Surrounding this peaceful people were unavoidable threats: both Patriots and the Britishwere pillaging land and goods for the sake of the war, young Amishmen were leaving the faith to take up arms and defend freedom. A simple walk in the untamed forests could result in death, if not from bullet or arrow, then from an encounter with a wild animal.

Amid this time of tumult, Adam Wyse is fighting a personal battle. To possibly join the war efforts and leave his faith, which would mean walking away from the only woman hes ever loved: Lena Yoder. But for that love hes made a promise that may keep them apart permanently.

When Adam withdraws from Lena, shes forced to turn to his brother, Isaac, for support. Must Lena deny her hearts desire to save Adams soul And will life in this feral and primitive New World be more than this peace-keeping people can withstand

There is a beautiful love story that unfolds within the pages . . . I was vested in the lives of these characters from the first page. BETH WISEMAN, best-selling author of The Wonder of Your Love and Plain Proposal
