Broken Dreams, Book 1
Ellie Miller reluctantly returns home. After her husband Amos dies, she tries to make it on her own with her two young children but eventually is convinced to return to live with her parents and a sister who seems to resent her presence amidst her own problems.
But that also means being pressured to marry again. Of course her mom has just the perfect person in mind--Jacob Girod--himself a recent widow with two children of his own, but she's hoping for more than a marriage of convenience and doesn't know what to do.
But it's seeing a stranger from her past at church that stirs up the real unexpected mix of emotions and causes her to rethink everything she knows. She tries to avoid dealing with it all, yet a sudden chance meeting in town leaves her having to make decisions that may affect her future, whether with Jacob Girod or not.
What's the right thing to do? And how do you know it when it is? Ellie's future for herself and her kids may depend on doing what's right, or doing what's right for the heart. But is there any possible way it could be both?
Uncertain Hearts, Book 2
Simon makes an offer Ellie hesitates to take, yet knows she must to buy her time before having to make a decision on marrying Jacob. Taking Simon up on his offer has its own consequences though, some she should have seen coming, and for better or worse, she needs to face her choices. With her two kids to think about, time is running out, but can Simon's offer be the saving grace she needs?
While Ellie struggles to sort out her immediate future and the old feelings she feels coming back for Simon, her younger sister has her own problems to face, and they're adding up as they also bring her down.
Sneaking around, making poor choices, Elizabeth makes a fateful decision that could cost her so much, not the least of which could be her innocence alongside her other most guarded treasure, her heart. She pursues Kevin, but at what cost?
Life Ahead, Book 3
Just when things can't seem to get any worse, they do. Nothing is working out the way Ellie hopes for, but maybe that's what she knew would happen anyway, as Simon could never seem to commit to anything. And now he's just proving her worst fears for true.
Then her sister Elizabeth runs off after suffering something horrible, and it seems the whole community goes looking for her--including both Simon and Jacob, making things even more awkward amidst the panic that has gripped her family's hearts in the search for Ellie's sister. Has she just run off? Or is it something more sinister?
But as Elizabeth struggles to understand her place in the Amish life, Jacob plays a new role in the lives of them all, especially helping Elizabeth to discover new things about herself. From Simon to Ellie, and Jacob to Elizabeth, all four of them must reconcile what they feel, with what they know to be right.
Surprises abound, some good and some bad. But life must go on...as they all have a life ahead. But where will they be, and who will they spend it with?
