Every year of her marriage Leah Miller prayed for a child. Her husband never told her he already had one.
Two years after Daniel's death, a letter arrives with a truth that tears apart everything Leah believed about her marriage.
Daniel had a son.
Ten-year-old Ezra has just lost his mother. He has nowhere to go, and the father he never knew is already in the grave. So Leah does the one thing no one expects.
She brings her husband's child home.
But an Englisch-raised boy does not slip easily into Amish life—and Leah's decision has consequences. The church elders question whether a widow can raise him alone. Ezra's grandparents want custody. And just as the frightened, grieving boy begins to believe Leah might truly be his family, she faces the possibility that he will be taken from her.
Then there is Caleb Brenneman.
Caleb has been quietly repairing what Daniel left behind for two years. Now Ezra has begun following him into his workshop, and Caleb is becoming something neither Leah nor the boy expected. But the closer he comes to them, the harder it becomes for Leah to ignore a truth of her own: Caleb isn't coming back for the broken fences anymore.
Leah has already lost a husband, a marriage she thought she understood, and the child she once dreamed of having. She will not lose Ezra too.
Even if keeping him means standing against his family, her community—and everything she has been taught about knowing her place. A clean and wholesome romance from Mary Lantz
