About this listen
Sadie King is left to raise three children alone after her husband’s death two years ago. Although she struggles to hold onto their family farm, she has good neighbors - the Troyers - who are more than willing to lend a hand. Unfortunately, she loses them when dear Millie Troyer passes away, and her devastated husband moves to his son’s farm out of state. A local farmer steps into the breach, and Sadie finds herself developing unexpected feelings for the younger man.
Matthew Hershberger had been courting a pretty, young girl for several weeks, but after spending time with Sadie King, he no longer feels certain about his plans for the future. He experiences a good deal of guilt over the thought of breaking the promises he’s made to Lydia - yet how can he deny his growing affection for Sadie and her children?
Will their Amish community be able to accept a relationship between Matthew and Sadie, if he finds the courage to follow his heart?

Old Order Amish Ivy Zook is wrestling with her need to shed her community's ways so she can grow the business of her dreams: planning parties. As long as she's stuck living without modernization, she can barely get her business on its feet. But if she leaves too soon, she'd cause trouble for her sister, Holly, who is planning her wedding to Joshua Smucker. All of their plans become twice as complicated when an old car crashes into the storefront of Greene's Pharmacy, carrying a Swartzentruber (ultra-conservative sect) Amish man, Arlan, and his very ill sister.
