A Simple Amish Valentine - Paperback

by Deborah Yoder (Author)

In the quiet, snow-blanketed fields of Lancaster County, Ruth Peight has always found peace in the Plain life-rising before dawn to kindle the hearth, tending her family's farm, and cherishing the simple rhythms of Amish tradition. At twenty-two, she is content... or so she tells herself. But deep in her heart, a quiet longing stirs: to be truly known, to share a companionship of minds and spirits, not just duty and labor.

As winter settles over Blessingfield, subtle pressures mount. Whispers of marriage proposals circulate, and Ruth's dat mentions a reliable young man with a strong back and a prosperous farm. Yet Ruth dreams of more than practicality-she yearns for a love rooted in faith, understanding, and gentle strength.

When a chance encounter awaken something tender within her, Ruth begins to notice Henry Stoltzfus in a new light. The quiet, steady woodworker from the neighboring farm has always been there-solid as oak, gentle with animals and people alike. His low voice in hymns, his careful hands, his rare but meaningful glances during church services... they linger more and more in her thoughts.

As Valentine's Day approaches with its simple handmade cards and community gatherings, Ruth must confront her buried desires. Will she embrace the path laid before her, or dare to hope for a love that sees beyond the surface-a love as patient and thorough as the winter itself?

A Simple Amish Valentine is a tender, clean Christian romance of quiet longing, faith, and the beauty of Plain living in Lancaster County. Perfect for readers who love heartwarming Amish stories of gentle courtship and God's perfect timing.
