Faith, Sacrifice, and Second Chances: A Journey to True Love
Lenora Shrock’s life feels stuck in sacrifice—first for her grandfather, now for her brother’s family. Just as she rediscovers joy in teaching twenty lively students, her sister-in-law’s dangerous pregnancy drags her back into caregiving.
Torn between duty and passion, Lenora finds unexpected purpose in tutoring widower Malcolm King’s two children. Their bond awakens feelings she thought she’d buried, but Malcolm’s grief and fear of loving again keep him distant.
With everyone pulling at her heart, Lenora must lean on faith to uncover God’s plan. Only through courage, sacrifice, and trust can a love powerful enough to heal be embraced.

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.
