The deacon’s daughter was never meant to fall in love with an outsider. Rachel Mast has spent her life walking the narrow path of duty, watched by her father and judged by her community. But when Ben Jordan returns to restore his grandmother’s neglected farm, Rachel finds herself drawn to the Englisher with quiet strength and eyes that see her as no one else ever has. Bound by his mother’s Amish past, Ben longs to understand the world she left behind. A forgotten hymnbook, a dangerous winter, and countless hours of shared labor pull him deeper into Rachel’s life—and her heart. Yet gossip spreads, neighbors whisper, and Deacon Eli Mast stands firm, determined not to let history repeat itself. Only through sacrifice, endurance, and the courage to face both faith and fear can Rachel and Ben hope to claim a future together. But when the final test arrives, will love prove strong enough to win the deacon’s blessing… or will duty demand its final price? Perfect for fans of heartfelt Amish romance filled with faith, family, and forbidden love. A must-read for readers who enjoy slow-burn courtships, deep emotional conflict, and stories where love is tested but ultimately triumphs.
