With All Her Heart
Bonnie is successful in her crafts shop but fears no man will see past her disability to her strong and loving heart. Elijah dreams of leaving the family business to focus on his carvings. Can they find a new path together?
Elijah Miller is a quiet and painfully shy man with a talent for carving the handmade toys and furniture that tourists in the Amish shops love. The large, boisterous Miller family is anything but shy. With a thriving auction business, they want him to do what he hates most: taking the stage and calling the auctions. He loves his family and wants to support them, but will they allow room for Elijah to follow his own dream?
Bonnie Yoder began the Homespun Handicrafts with her friends, Sophia and Carol. Each has a physical disability to overcome but together they prove that wheelchairs and rollators will not stop them from building a business and a craft community. Bonnie, with her chestnut curls and pretty face, yearns for a husband and family of her own but fears her spinal condition will keep any Amish man from choosing a life with her. Can a man like Elijah see past her walker to the woman behind it?
Faith, Family, and Community
What makes Kelly’s Amish stories so powerful?
The author of more than twenty-five Amish fiction novels and a dozen novellas, Kelly explores the lives of Plain women who experience many of the same life challenges as women of other faiths. Multiple series have spanned the country from Montana to Texas to Kansas to Missouri to Virginia. The women in these books walk through seasons of loss, grief, sudden widowhood, unexpected pregnancy, adoption, domestic abuse, postpartum depression, and infertility. They come away stronger in their faith, deeper in love, and joyful in life, giving readers the hope that they can do the same. These are stories intended to entertain while provoking thought long after the last page is turned.
