Description

The first in a new series about an independent Amish woman and her struggles in career and romance. Susan Lapp is a hardworking Amish woman in her early twenties. She enjoys the financial independence that working two jobs–as a housecleaner and at the local deli in Lancaster–affords her. And based on her sisters tumultuous experiences with their husbands, she has no interest in dating or marriage. She s perfectly content with her life as it is, thank you very much. When Susan s best friend Beth begins to date Susan s brother Mark, the couple is determined to play matchmaker for Susan. Susan begrudgingly agrees to humor them and soon finds herself caught between an undeniable attraction for one of Mark s coworkers and her unflinching commitment to staying single. Soon, her complicated feelings take her in directions she once couldn t have imagined. She experiences hardship like she never has before–homesickness, miserable weather in a place that feels so foreign, and an incredibly challenging job. And despite her attempts to escape romantic entanglements, she finds herself longing for the stability and familiarity of a committed relationship back home. Still, she wrestles with fear and uncertainty. How is she to know God s will for her life?
