About this ebook

The second in this delightfully moving new series from beloved, New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray continues the story of four English-raised siblings who return to their grandparents' Ohio community planning to become Amish. But one by one, they will soon learn more about living—and love—than they'd ever imagined . . .

Exploring the relationship between Amish and English cultures through the lens of a single family, the Amish ABCs series is perfect for fans of Beverly Lewis, Amy Clipston, and Charlotte Hubbardand anyone who enjoys uplifting stories about faith, family, love, and the simple life.

Raised by their divorced, lapsed-Amish father and English mother, siblings Jonny, Martin, Kelsey, and Beth can't wait to reinvent their lives. The four don't have much in common, but they long for the stable sense of family they felt when visiting their New Order grandparents, Josiah and Sylvia Schrock, in peaceful Holmes County, Ohio. And the Schrocks couldn't be more surprised when the grandkids want to try living with them—and joining their faith . . .

When Jonny hears startling news about his health, he knows it's past time to change his life. Quitting college, he unexpectedly finds the fulfilling job of his dreams. And he's instantly smitten with cafe owner Treva Kramer, whose baked goods are as warm and delicious as her lively personality. But no matter how hard Jonny tries, he can't seem to get past her secret sadness and distrust. Can he prove that his feelings for her are for real—and forever—in time?

A bad breakup left Treva heartbroken—and resolved to be independent without relying on anyone ever again. Exhausted from pouring everything she's got into her cafe, she’s stunned by Jonny’s easygoing ways—and drawn to his optimistic nature. But when she thinks his real interest is in becoming Amish, she's even more determined to stay focused—and keep her heart safe . . .

Soon, deep secrets and hidden family truths will test Jonny and Treva in unexpected ways. And with help from his warm-hearted grandparents, he and Treva might gain the happiness they secretly long for—with each other.

The second in the alphabet series focuses on Jonny Schrock, the youngest son of the family. Jonny has discovered he has a health issue and is determined to watch his diet to help him overcome it. Meanwhile, he works at a bike shop and goes every morning to get coffee at Treva Hershberger’s new coffee shop. The two strike up a friendship, a relationship that is predictable but sweet. The plot is delightful in this heartwarming romance and the characters are refreshingly realistic.

Loved reading the inspirational and captivating story. Even though Jonny finds out he has to be careful what he eats, he still wants to try living Amish, gets a job selling electric bikes, and wants to spend more time with Treva. Meanwhile, Jonny's dad s has a long road ahead of him to try to make amends with his children, and Martin, Jonny's older brother, is still unsure about becoming Amish. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting story.

I was lucky to read both books of this series. I knew when I read the first book, that I wanted to keep reading this series. And glad that I didblings that had experienced a divorce of their parents prompting them to move to the grandparent's home and considered joining the Amish faith, which was the original faith of their father who "jumped the fence". This was "Jonny's story in which he meets Amish Treva. Good Amish book! I recd an arc of this book. All thoughts are my own.
