about the book

From bestselling author Leslie Gould comes a warm and lighthearted Amish romance where an unlikely correspondence opens the door to a second chance at love.

After losing her beloved husband, Grace Conley is certain her heart will never heal. The Mennonite mother of three pours herself into raising her children, managing her Ohio farm, tending her late husband’s beehives, and fostering her small honey business. Romance feels like a chapter ended–until a letter arrives that changes everything.

Through her husband’s old beekeepers’ circle letter, Grace connects with Michael Stoll, an Amish widower from Lancaster County she’s never met. His words mirror her own grief, and their phone conversations become the highlight of her week. Michael’s quiet strength and devotion to his three children stir something that Grace thought she’d buried forever. But doubts creep in about their religious differences and lingering grief. Will a leap of faith help Grace and Michael discover that love can come twice in a lifetime?

“Gould expertly builds the relationship between her leads, blending gently comedic moments with emotional depth. . . . This charms.”–Publishers Weekly on The Shop Down the Lane

A sweet second chance romance and perfect book club pick for fans of Beverly Lewis, Wanda Brunstetter, Amy Clipston, Beth Wiseman, and Amish fiction with big-hearted widowed and single parent characters set in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

about the book

Can a woman rediscover herself after spending decades putting everyone else first?

With an empty nest and a marriage that leaves her feeling less like a soulmate and more like a roommate, Brenda throws herself into helping everyone around her. But no amount of serving can fill the ache inside. When her mother’s health fails, Brenda embraces the role of caregiver, convinced that the only way for her to feel loved is by being needed.

As the responsibilities of caring for an aging parent intensify, she slowly loses sight of herself. The more she pours her energy into serving others, the more depleted she feels. A friend’s divorce forces her to take a hard look at her own marriage, while Marcus’s health struggles reveal a side of her husband she has overlooked for years.

Caught in the midlife demands of the sandwich generation, Brenda wonders if she can find purpose after motherhood.

From This Day Forward is a stand-alone book in the Dearly Beloved series. This Christian novel has themes of marriage renewal, caregiving, and reinventing yourself in the second half of life. For fans of Karen Kingsbury, Katie Powner, Sara Brunsvold, and Amanda Cox.

about the book

Seven estranged cousins. One ambitious project. A hundred ways it could all go very wrong.

When Brooke’s beloved grandparents die unexpectedly, their final wish brings her scattered family back to Hope Creek, including Jeremiah, the boy she once loved—the same boy who abandoned them when the Chilton clan disintegrated years ago. Despite the long-held grudges and awkward secrets that kept them all apart, Brooke and Jeremiah convince the Chilton cousins to help honor their grandparents’ last request: to take the old church they saved from destruction and turn it into a bookshop that will serve their beloved community.

And to do it all before Christmas.

But repurposing the church building may be easier than healing the deep wounds that tore their family apart. Secrets, both old and new, threaten to destroy Brooke and Jeremiah’s hope that this project could be a new beginning for all of them. With the bookstore’s opening day fast approaching and everyone’s lives upended, each cousin must discover for themselves that the greatest inheritance their grandparents left behind wasn’t a building—it was the gift of forgiveness, the power of second chances, and the enduring hope of Christmas.

about the book

In a world ruled by reputation, compassion may be the most scandalous act of all.

Arianna Reeves knows how quickly admiration can turn into exile. One poorly placed trust, one disastrously charming rake, and she is no longer society’s darling–but its favorite cautionary tale.

Now returned home–uninvited and unmistakably whispered about–Arianna is determined to make amends with her estranged family and do something useful with her thoroughly ruined life. Even if polite society would prefer she did it at a very great distance from anyone respectable.

Thomas Bridges, a principled clergyman with an inconvenient habit of thinking for himself, is already walking a narrow line. His congregation expects propriety, his mother expects matrimony, and both have very firm opinions about his future. Thomas, however, would prefer a life guided by conviction . . . even when it proves impractical.

When Arianna repeatedly–and quite disruptively–crosses his path, Thomas faces a dilemma no sermon prepared him for. She is not at all what she ought to be: not dull, not foolish, and–most dangerously–not someone he can overlook, but a kindred spirit who shares his passion for service and his troubling habit of defying society’s expectations . . . all with good intentions, of course.

As their forbidden acquaintance deepens into something far more perilous than friendship, Arianna and Thomas must decide: preserve their reputations, or risk them entirely for the good of others—–and their own hearts.

Because in a society that measures worth by perfection, choosing grace, mercy, and love may cost them everything–and give them more than they ever hoped to find.
