A young Amish woman’s hopes for love and a future are tested as she strives to become more than a bridesmaid.

Come home to Hickory Hollow, Pennsylvania—the beloved setting where Beverly Lewis’s celebrated Amish novels began—with new characters and new stories of drama, romance, and the ties that draw people together.

Twenty‑seven‑year‑old Joanna Kurtz has made several trips to the altar but never as a bride. The single young Amishwoman is a closet writer whose stories aren’t her only secret. Eben Troyer is a responsible young Amishman who hopes to make Joanna his bride—if he can ever leave his parents’ farm in Shipshewana, Indiana. Yet with his only brother off in the English world, his hopes for building a life with Joanna dim, and patience wears thin.

Will Joanna ever be more than a bridesmaid?
