About this ebook
A desperate woman finds sanctuary—and the possibility of love—in a little Amish community: “Engaging characters and sweet romance.” —Publishers Weekly
Joseph King has good reasons to work an oil rig far from his beloved Ice Mountain . . . and to mind his own business. He hopes to protect his younger brother Edward from worldly influences. And maybe he can finally forget how yielding to temptation forced him to leave home in disgrace. Still, no honorable Amish man would let Priscilla Allen and her four-year-old daughter remain homeless, living out of their car. And how can he not be drawn to the feisty waitress’s bravery and hidden strength?
Offering Priscilla a home on Ice Mountain as his wife-in-name-only gives her a place to start again. For Joseph, it’s also an unexpected chance to regain his reputation and standing in the community. But Priscilla’s warmth, caring, and determination to adjust to Amish society are renewing Joseph’s long-buried hope. Now as his guilt and her wrenching secrets threaten the fragile trust growing between them, they will need the riskiest of miracles to put the past to rest—and fulfill a promise only love and renewed faith can bring.
“Kelly understands the human heart and writes about it with beauty and resonance.” —Beth Wiseman

The focus is arousal and explicit sex, not character development and romance . . . Characters are casually Amish (put on an Amish dress, marry an Amish man, and "presto", you're Amish), with none of the rules or consequences of a real Amish community. Author encorporates sexual abuse into her characters' backstory, but then has them behave inconsistently in light of that trama. Didn't bother even finishing the book. A "Harlequin Romance in Amish clothes" in my opinion. Wish I could get a refund.

Fabulous story. Beautifully written with the lessons of harsh trials of life and the answer of God's word and faith to overcome. I love Joseph, Priscilla and Hollie and their Amish family.
