What if the man you were meant to marry wasn’t the one you were courting? Rachel Lapp never expected her courtship with David Schrock to unravel so quickly. But when whispers of an Englisch girl and plans to leave their community reach her ears, Rachel’s trust shatters. In the quiet aftermath, she finds herself drawn to someone she’s known all along—David’s younger brother, Leroy. Leroy has spent years in his brother’s shadow, tending animals and keeping to himself. Yet when Rachel sees the kindness in his eyes and feels the steadiness of his presence, she wonders if the love she’s been searching for has been here all along. Set against the rhythms of Amish life and the first stirrings of spring, this is a story of second chances, the courage to choose differently, and the gentle, unshakable love of a man who has been waiting all his life to be seen.
