Publisher's summary

Abigail’s Amish life has always followed a certain path . . . until an Englisch woman disrupts all she’s known to be true.

Growing up Amish, Abigail Bontrager often felt like a square peg in a round hole. Her pie crusts always turned out tough. Her stitches always ran crooked. She was clumsy. Not ideal for an aspiring Amish wife and mother, but her faith and love of her family, which are so much more important, are solid. Plus, her relationship with the attractive and kindhearted Owen Kurtz is moving in the right direction.

Owen is part dreamer, part entrepreneur. His friendship with Abigail has gradually blossomed into a sweet and loving courtship. Inspired by the hope of a future with the girl of his dreams, he decides to take the next step in building a business of his own—in the promising new industry of growing sunflowers.

When an outsider claiming to be Abigail’s birth mother abruptly enters her life, Abigail’s world comes crashing down. Confused and upset, she is determined to discover who she really is. Her journey of discovery leads to the possibilities of a new life waiting for her in the Englisch world. But is this new life really worth giving up everything and everyone she’s known? How can Abigail and Owen follow their hearts—and God’s plan—when these new paths now lead them into the unknown?

In this second book in the Amish Blessings series, bestselling and award-winning romance novelist Kelly Irvin shares an inspiring story of following your heart while trusting God to lead you into your future.

Kansas Resident

I loved all the interesting “action” in this book. Being a Kansas resident, it was fun to experience the settings! I love the Jesus centered Amish way of life!

Wow! Loved this!

I loved the story from beginning to end. The characters are real, deep, and interesting. The narrator, Lauren Berst, is always my number one favorite. The storyline was intense, thought-provoking, and intriguing. While I thought I knew how the story was going to end, there were times when I honestly did not know what direction the main character was going to take. The story touched my heart on a personal level also, as I learned about my biological father much later in life. I could relate to so many of the feelings and trials of that journey. Highly recommend.

From an Adoptive perspective

As a mom of 3 adopted children I have to praise God Heather was not one of my birth mothers.
The book and story was very good. I highly recommend it.

Intriguing view of Amish culture

Interesting portrayal of tension between between English and Amish cultures when there’s a hidden adoption between them
