Joyful River (Book 1)
To practical-minded Essie Lapp, there's comfort in knowing exactly what her future will bring. Yet Gott has his plan, and it soon turns her family's world upside down. Essie's widowed English uncle has brought his troubled teenage daughters back to their mother's Amish community. Essie strives to welcome her cousins, but adapting to plain living won't be easy, even if the rewards are great. As cultures clash and hearts collide, Essie feels the first stirrings of doubt about Harlan's commitment to her. Yet as the heat of summer gives way to crisp, ripe autumn, this homecoming might mean a bountiful beginning.
