Synopsis: In this powerful Amish romance, an isolated woman and a compassionate man learn that love can build a bridge between their two worlds.Since witnessing the murder of her beloved parents, Miriam Hochstedler suffers from paralyzing anxiety and a deep-seated fear of the Englisch. Unwilling to venture beyond her family&’s Tennessee farm, she forms a close bond with a badly injured gelding. Like Miriam herself, the traumatized animal seems unlikely to recover—until skilled horse whisperer Reuben Brenneman arrives. A survivor of an abusive childhood, Reuben understands fear better than most. He&’ll do whatever it takes to help a terrified animal, but his compassion doesn&’t extend to the church that turned a blind eye to his family&’s suffering. Once he finishes this job, he&’ll return to the Englisch world, putting his Amish heritage behind him forever.As Miriam works alongside Reuben, battling the horse&’s fear—and her own—an unexpected friendship blooms and deepens into romance. But the Amish faith that sustains her inspires only distrust in Reuben, and the Englisch world he&’s chosen has already broken her heart once. Falling in love was easy. But staying together will take all the courage they have.
