BLURB:
Rachel Kauffman and Jarred Zimmerman
seem to have nothing in common. She's
the outgoing youngest of a large, close-knit Amish clan, while Jarred is a
young veterinarian who trusts the animals he heals far more than he trusts
people. However, when Rachel's horse
falls ill, Jarred's struggles to save him show Rachel he's a man who cares
deeply. And the respect he feels for her
gentle warmhearted ways soon becomes an irresistible bond. When Rachel tries to
help Jarred reunite with his parents, it's an unexpected blessing..with one
complication. If he takes this chance to
put his past to rest, it could separate him and Rachel for good. Now, with prayer, love...and her hope chest's
small miracles, Jarred and Rachel must find the courage to reconcile their
wishes into a joyous life together.

EXCERPT:
He
didn’t know Rachel well, but his instincts were usually right on target. His keen sense of reading people had kicked
in at an early age. So had his lack of
trust. By contrast, the Kauffman girl
was unusually open and honest. Without a
doubt, Rachel represented everything he’d yearned for growing up. When he was with her, an unprecedented sense
of comfort and security filled his heart and soul.
But
he had reciprocated her sentiment. And
to his surprise, he’d confessed to her that his parents hadn’t raised him. It was the first time he’d ever told anyone,
but she was a good listener, and the sad story of growing up without his own
mom and dad was something he’d carried on his shoulders a long time.
He
stood and paced to the living room to glance at the picture of his
brother. At that moment, he knew to stay
realistic about this sudden adoration for the beautiful Amish girl. Although she was of the Christian faith, the
Amish way of life differed greatly from his own, so his feelings he had for
Rachel could only lead to a dead-end street.
