Hannah, now married, is living her dream with Jake under the shadow of the Cabinet Mountains. But fear stalks outside the cabin. Must they move back to Indiana, or does God have other plans? Will Jake see things her way, or will they both be swallowed up by the seemingly impossible demands life lays upon them? This is the story of one woman’s struggle and the road that opens up before her. (Excerpt from Hannah) Even in her dulled state of awareness, Hannah was certain Sylvia had pulled away, trying to put distance between them. So sudden this was, so abrupt, like a shooting star falling out of heaven on her head. Others would always feel she was different from them, regardless of how much she wasn’t. Hannah heard Bishop Amos dismiss the service, sounding as if he were far away. The bench beside her emptied out on each side, but she stayed seated, unable to move. Dimly she became aware of her mother, and then Betty, coming in on either side of her. Her senses registered arms around her shoulders, their tightness gripping her. They stayed that way, the three of them, until the dam broke and the tears flowed. They wept together as one for a life that never would be the same again.

When Hearts Break

When Hearts Break is a powerful and beautiful work from the hand of Jerry Eicher. With this book, he moves Amish fiction from delightful romances into the realm of realism and classic storytelling. Jerry gives us full-blooded characters in their struggles and complexities, the things they overcome by the grace of God and the things that bring them to their knees in humility and defeat. By doing this, he makes his entire novel shine. Five stars. Highly recommended.-Murray Pura, The Face of Heaven, Ashton Park, The White Birds of Morning, Gettysburg When Hearts Break by Jerry Eicher gripped me from the first paragraph. Two women, the man they both loved, jealousy, heartbreak, a young woman's shame, a grown woman's forgiveness. A dark and haunting tale that stepped into sunlight and made me cry. This is a story I will not forget.-Lucinda J Kinsinger, author, Anything But Simple: My Life as a Mennonite

Her Heart Was Broken by Young Love Now she was waiting, but waiting for what? There would never be another Wilmer. Never! There couldn't be. No face would grip her heart like Wilmer's had. With his lopsided grin. His lop of loose hair floundering about his forehead, hanging at an angle from his cow lick. She would never forget Wilmer. Waiting wasn't going to solve the problem. Neither did weeping or crying or turning down dates from eligible Amish men. She had to say yes to Robert. She had to because he was a decent man. A poor excuse to begin dating a man, but the situation couldn't be helped. If she must marry a man, Robert was the best choice. 
Rose took a step toward the house but stopped mid-stride when a vehicle appeared with the turn signal on. Likely someone was arriving to see Daett. Rose waited and waved as the pickup truck turned into the driveway. A young English man was driving-a handsome young English man. He looked like a farmer, but she had never seen him before. Rose felt the urge to run into the house, but she held her ground. She had met and spoken to English men before. There was nothing to fear from this encounter.

What will it take for Mary to let go of her pride and see Marcus for who he really is?&nbsp;A swift and heartwarming Amish romance, full&nbsp;of misunderstandings, tragedy, and the sweet satisfaction of young love. Mary Wagler arrives in Adams County, Ohio for the new school term, ready to begin her duties teaching eighteen students at the little one room schoolhouse. Marcus Yoder, who lives next door with his widowed mother and his six younger siblings, is assigned the task of meeting the new arrival at the bus station. He is to transport Mary in his buggy to where she will board at Leon and Lavina Hochstetler's home. Mary is sure Marcus has volunteered for the task to make an early play on her affections and dreads the nuisance he will be in the coming weeks. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Mary opens her first day of school with a firm determination. She will make a solid contribution to this small Amish community nestled on the banks of the Ohio River. When Marcus stops by occasionally to greet his younger siblings after school, Mary is convinced he felt snubbed by her lack of interest in his early affection, and that he's hanging around to critique her every move and make the school term miserable for her. When sickness sweeps through the school, Marcus comes to Mary's aid. Mary blames herself for handling the challenge poorly, and is surprised by Marcus's gentle response. Perhaps he's not quite the nuisance she thought he was. But she's been so rude to him that surely he's no longer interested in her friendship. Or could she be wrong . . . again? &nbsp; &nbsp;
