Jeb's Wife

By: Patricia Johns

Narrated by: Stina Nielsen

Patricia Johns' sensitive storytelling brings depth and heart to this tender story of second chances, as an Amish woman embarks on marriage with the gruff farmer next door.

Once, Leah Riehl prayed for a husband. The man she loved chose another, wanting the children Leah can't provide. But she's found a measure of peace, keeping house for her brother, Simon, and teaching in a nearby town. Now though, Simon's debts to an Englisher gambling ring have left Leah with a desperate dilemma - and a surprising offer from her scarred, reclusive neighbor. Jebadiah King needs to marry in order to claim his family farm. A union, for appearances only, will help them both.

Jeb knows his scars make him a less than ideal husband, but he can be a useful one. It's the least that Leah deserves. But despite the promises he made to himself, Jeb can't help longing for his lovely, warmhearted new wife. His first marriage brought heartbreak, but Leah's gentle smiles spark hope again. Are they willing to take the leap that love requires - and open themselves to all the challenges and joy a true marriage could bring?

Real Life Issues

This book was beautifully narrated, and the author is a highly skilled storyteller. I was so focused on every aspect and detail of the story. I couldn’t stop reading.

As always great story

These are the only types of stories I read. My favorite two authors are, Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter.

Loved it!!

This was my first romance novel. I picked it because it was also suggested to me for being a comfort read. I would agree that its a comfort read. The book immersed me and I enjoyed the story.
