A Shattered Woman with a Dark Secret. A Compassionate Man Drawn to Aid Her. And a Jealous Rival Poised to Strike. Can Love Prevail in the Midst of Explosive Truths and Bitter Envy?

Lilah Renno is a shadow of her former self since her return from Rumspringa. Silent, and withdrawn, her worried parents send her to her aunt in another community in hopes that the change will reignite her spirit. There in Winesburg, she is charged with managing her aunt's roadside sandwich stand.

Elijah Petersheim is taken aback to find the Smucker stand under the care of a somber newcomer. Seeking to draw her out of her shell and help her settle into the community, he stops daily and seeks to form a friendship. But this growing connection is muddled by his relationship with Clara, whose initial curiosity about Lilah turns to envy as she senses an unspoken bond forming between the two.

Blinded by jealousy Clara delves into Lilah's past where she uncovers the truth about Lilah. Now in possession of a scandalous secret, Clara upends Lilah’s life and sending shockwaves through the community where whispers and judgement abound.

As Elijah finds himself torn between his loyalty to Clara and his instinct to protect Lilah, the foundations of relationships are tested, and each of them must dig deep into their souls and face who they really are.

Can Lilah trust God bring all things to good – even those that bring shame and condemnation? Can Elijah forgive Clara for the damage she has wrought on Lilah the woman he never expected to love? And what of Clara? Can Clara face her own darkest fears and allow God to lead her? Find out in this sweet Amish Romance from Mary Lantz.
