Synopsis
Rose Esch thought patience was faith, now she’s beginning to wonder if it’s just fear. At twenty-six, Rose tells herself she’s content. Useful. Needed. But when Henry Wagler builds her a hope chest and leaves a prayer inside, it stirs questions she’s spent years refusing to ask. Marlin Botranger is courting her closest friend. Marlin has always been part of Rose’s life. A steady presence. A trusted friend. Now her heart is open, seeing him walk beside another woman forces Rose to face a painful truth. Waiting didn’t protect her heart. It taught her how to hide it. As gossip spreads and misunderstandings deepen, Rose must decide whether faith means letting go for the sake of another or finally speaking the truth she’s kept silent for far too long. A sweet Amish romance about friendship, misplaced sacrifice, and the courage to hope. Though part of a series, this is a complete story with its own HEA.
