Thankful
$15.99New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray captures the beauty, devotion, and warmth of Amish life in this engaging tale of family, commitment, trust, and love set in the beloved community of Sugarcreek.
Christina Kempf has always known that God chose Aden Reese to be her husband. As children, he was there to save her when she fell through the ice, and he’s been by her side ever since. After his parents died in a car accident ten years ago, the Kempfs raised Aden as one of their own, and everyone sees Aden and Christina as brother and sister. But Christina has never given up hope that Aden will one day ask her to be his wife.
Aden always planned to court Christina. But losing his mother and father changed everything-except his love for her. Her parents generously welcomed him into their home and treated him like a son. He can’t betray their kindness by admitting his feelings for the girl who is like a sister . . . yet so much more.
Pressured by her parents to court, Christina begins to accept the attentions of Sugarcreek’s young men, and now, Aden must make a choice. Will he stand by and watch the love of his life slip away? Or will he risk losing the love and trust of the family he holds dear to tell Christina how he truly feels?
Thankful includes a P.S. section with additional insights from the author, background material, suggestions for further reading, and more.

$15.99Beth Miller has a secret. Ever since she met Englischer Chris Ellis while helping out at the Yellow Bird Inn, she can’t stop thinking about him.

That meant he faced danger daily, carried a gun, and was completely unsuitable for an Amish woman like herself.
But she knew he felt the attraction, too. It was the reason he had left so suddenly, telling her he’d never see her again. Nothing good could ever come from a romance between the two of them.
Then, three days before Christmas, as Beth is once again filling in at the Yellow Bird Inn, Chris shows up on the doorstop, bleeding. And as Beth cares for him, it’s clear that a relationship between the two of them is inevitable. But are they ready to sacrifice everything for this chance at love?
