Steadfast Mercy
$12.99Add to cartShe’d told herself she’d never go back home. But that was before the accident-before life changed forever.
After the tragic death of her parents, Jonica Muller must return to the Amish community she left in shame. Tasked with settling her father’s estate, she plans to keep her visit as brief as possible so she can return to start a life with Ephraim, a widower who has offered her and her five-year-old son the stability of a family.
But Jonica’s childhood home in Posen, Michigan, won’t let her go so quickly. Her father’s sister, Aenti Edna, is showing signs of a slipping mind. To Jonica’s alarm, Edna’s begun entertaining a mysterious redheaded Englischer who has unclear intentions toward the aging woman and the Mullers’ property.
Caleb is a young farmer working Edna’s land, trying to hide his own secret shame from his family and his girlfriend, Darleen. But when Jonica asks him to come to Edna’s aid, she unwittingly sets events in motion that change everyone’s ability to live in the shadows of their lives.
Steadfast Mercy is a tender love story at the intersection of heartbreak, forgiveness, and grace.

Arms Of Mercy
$12.99Add to cartOn the eve of a new year, Catherine Glick is expecting Zach, her bu of five years, to propose, but instead, the unexpected arrival of an old boyfriend, Elijah Graber, causes her life to spiral out of control. Acting nothing like herself, she proposes marriage to Zach. But he is not only unreceptive, he’s upset by her boldness–by her desperation. Disheartened by his rejection, Catherine leaves for Florida to work in her cousin’s bakery.
Elijah Graber knows that he hurt Catherine when he left their Amish district six years ago, and he’s come back to explain his actions–even if it means following her to Florida to do so. He sets out to win her trust and hopefully her heart back on the two-day journey from northern Michigan to Florida.
But when he arrives in Florida, Elijah learns Catherine never arrived at her destination. Little does he know that a tragic bus accident has taken her away . . . possibly forever.
Waking up from a drug-induced coma following surgery, Catherine doesn’t know where she is or who she is. Her past is a blur. Her future is bleak. And after spending extensive time in the hospital, she’s on the mend physically, but her memory is still a blank slate. With nowhere to go, she accepts a job as a cook on a ranch for disabled children. Adapting to farm life and bonding with the children is no problem, but feeling at home with the withdrawn ranch owner, a retired doctor, is another story. With supernatural nudging for Elijah to keep searching, will their lives intersect in her new world? And will the rancher’s past help or hinder Catherine from discovering her future?

Woodland Miracle
$7.99Add to cartFor a disadvantaged young woman and a displaced young man, a lasting love is going to take more than chance-it’s going to take a miracle. Muscle weakness has left Grace Wagler with a broken body-and her childhood best friend has left her with a broken heart. She can hold her own in the timber camp (and do everything else the other women in Badger Creek can do), but in an Amish district where women outnumber men three to one, marriage is an unlikely prospect for a girl with bad legs. Ben Eicher just arrived in Michigan from Pinecraft, Florida. When his most recent shenanigans proved too much for his daed’s patience, Ben was sent to the Upper Peninsula to work in the lumber camp-and he’s neither proud of his behavior nor thrilled about his new home. But when Ben meets Grace, the struggling young woman quickly piques his curiosity. Of course, the last thing Grace wants is another friendship with a man who pities her. Tired of physical pain and romantic dead ends, Grace is ready to leave Badger Creek for the muscle specialist in Ohio, even if it contradicts her father’s wishes . . . and Ben’s. Meanwhile, two dangerous men have found their way into the district. It isn’t long before their unsavory plans ensnare Grace and Ben in a chase that will not only endanger their lives . . . but test their love.
