Amish Blessings

The first in a new Amish romance series set in Kansas, Love's Dwelling reminds us that family is more than what you are born into; it's who you choose as well. Cassie Yoder loves her job as a housekeeper for elderly couple Job and Dinah Keim. Their only children, a son and daughter, left the Haven, Kansas, district and their faith more than twenty years earlier with no contact. Cassie feels for the Keims because her own parents' infertility struggles left her an only child in a community where big families are a blessing. When Child Protective Services shows up on the Keims' doorstep with their five grandchildren, their quiet lives-and Cassie's-are turned upside down. Mason, the oldest grandson at twenty-two, believes his siblings should be his responsibility and struggles with giving the Keims authority. Moving in with the Keims, Cassie jumps in with both feet and is happy for the challenge of caring for these English-raised children. Mason and Cassie strike up an uneasy alliance that turns into friendship, and then something more, but neither dares to admit it. Can an English man and an Amish woman find common ground and a home together?

Abigail's Amish life has always followed a certain path... until an Englisch woman disrupts all she's known to be true. Growing up Amish, Abigail Bontrager often felt like a square peg in a round hole. Her pie crusts always turned out tough. Her stitches always ran crooked. She was clumsy. Not ideal for an aspiring Amish wife and mother, but her faith and love of her family, which are so much more important, are solid. Plus, her relationship with the attractive and kindhearted Owen Kurtz is moving in the right direction. Owen is part dreamer, part entrepreneur. His friendship with Abigail has gradually blossomed into a sweet and loving courtship. Inspired by the hope of a future with the girl of his dreams, he decides to take the next step in building a business of his own - in the promising new industry of growing sunflowers. When an outsider claiming to be Abigail's birth mother abruptly enters her life, Abigail's world comes crashing down. Confused and upset, she determined to discover who she really is. Her journey of discovery leads to the possibilities of a new life waiting for her in the English world. But is this new life really worth giving up everything and everyone she's known? How can Abigail and Owen follow their hearts - and God's plan - when these new paths now lead them into the unknown? In this second book in the Amish Blessings series, bestselling and award-winning romance novelist Kelly Irvin shares an inspiring story of following your heart while trusting God to lead you into your future.

An Amish girl faces an impossible choice as the consequences from her Rumspringa become all too real. Maisy Glick didn't expect things to turn out this way. She knew there was no future with her Englisch boyfriend, but that didn't stop her from taking things too far during her Rumspringa. And now she is pregnant with his child. He is heading off to college and isn't interested in becoming a father. And to marry him would mean giving up her entire Amish life-something she isn't willing to do. To protect her family from the scandal, she packs her bags to go live with her cousin in Haven, Kansas. Joshua Lapp knows it's beyond time to make a decision about his faith. But a good Amish man believes that everything happens according to God's will, and Joshua can't find it within himself to state that truth. Not when his best friend-his twin brother-died so tragically when they were just children. Instead, he puts his head down, does the work, lives the Amish life, and hopes the Bishop doesn't come calling about Baptism classes. When Maisy and Joshua meet on the train to Haven, neither is looking for romance. In fact, it's the last thing they want. But as they get to know each other, and Maisy's condition becomes more and more obvious, they face decisions they'd much rather avoid. Through their growing friendship, they gain perspective-and hope. In her final Amish Blessings novel, Kelly Irvin shows that not every question has an easy answer, but that with faith comes clarity and with friendship comes the potential for more.
