About this book
A dutiful daughter puts her own dreams on hold to care for her family, until a charming newcomer arrives and upends her carefully ordered world. Ruth has made peace with her quiet life helping her mother raise her younger sisters, but when the spirited and not-yet-committed Eli Lapp rolls into Kent County, she finds herself drawn to the possibility of something more. What starts as innocent attraction blooms into a tender connection that challenges Ruth's assumptions about sacrifice and whether love might actually be part of God's plan for her. With heart and faith at the center, this Amish romance explores what it means to listen to both your duty and your heart.

“Create a playlist called Courting Ruth. Soft acoustic folk and indie singer-songwriter melodies. Gentle, hopeful, and wistful—like quiet moments of awakening. Think Bon Iver, The Lumineers, and Phoebe Bridgers. Warm, tender, and full of tentative possibility.”
