How long will Edna have to wait for the love of her life Will God reward her patience From Linda Byler, bestselling author of Amish Romances, comes a new story with "multifaceted characters who deal with real-life issuesPublishers Weekly

Short, dark-haired and dark-eyed, soft and round and capable, Edna was crackling with a zest for life. There was no job too mountainous for her. She had no husband or children, and had never had a date in her life.

For years, Edna Miller has found herself drawn to Emery Hoschtettler with an attraction she can explain no better than she can put a stop to it. Other suitors come and go, but none make her feel the way she feels around Emerythat incredible floating feeling, as if she was walking on air, mixed with a painful desperation to be ever nearer to him. Despite the fact that Emery seldom seems to pay her much attention, she decides it would be unfair to marry anyone else when her heart longs only for him. He hasnt seriously dated anyone else either, so perhaps hes just waiting for the right time to ask her . . .

By the time Edna is twenty-nine, most of her family and friends have given up hope of her ever marrying. Why she didnt give that nice man Jonathan more of a chance was beyond them. Sure, he had a bit of a limp from the tractor accident, but he was kind as could be, not to mention wealthy. Was she so vain that she could only judge based on outward appearances Well then, she could go ahead and be a maud for the rest of her life, cooking and cleaning for other families.

When Emery finally asks Edna out, she can hardly contain her joy. Everything is coming togetherGod is rewarding her patience! Her family will understand why she could never settle for anyone else.

But what if Emery isnt the man Edna was so sure he was Is there something hes hiding, or is Edna simply unable to accept true love after so many years of waiting Would God really lead her all this way, just to leave her alone again
