description: Founded by five enterprising Amish maidels the new Morningstar Marketplace is a joyoussuccess. Whats even more remarkable is the gift the business bestows upon each of theseunmarried womenthe unexpected blessing of love . . . Leaving Flauds Furniture to teach at the communitys new school is a joy forLydianne Christner. Old Order Amish but new to Morning Star shes grateful that the congregation trusts her with the positionbut she panics when handsome Bishop Jeremiah Shetler asks about the life she left behind. If anyone discovers the secret shes hiding she would quite rightly be shunned. A widower Bishop Jeremiah admires young Lydiannes youthful energy and skill with the children. Hes also curious about her past and the burden he senses on her heart. When his request to court her is refused hes stung and lonelier than ever. It isnt until a crisis prompts a tearful Lydianne to confess to him that Jeremiah is faced with a choice that requires all of his faithand teaches them both that love and forgiveness go hand in hand.
