Synopsis

Hannah Zook has made her peace with things. Four years after losing Amos — four years of rebuilding, of learning to carry grief differently, of arriving, slowly and honestly, at a life that is genuinely good — she has come to a quiet conclusion. She has had her great love. It is gone. What remains is enough. Then the community asks for volunteers to help at the Graber farm, where Isaac Graber has been managing alone since his wife died — the farm, the land, his mother Miriam whose health is declining, six and a half years of carrying things that he has never said to anyone. Hannah volunteers. It is, she tells herself, simply the right thing to do. It is, she will discover, considerably more complicated than that. Isaac is ten years older, a man of few words and considerable depth. He has a kitchen garden that has been neglected for six and a half years and soil that needs bone meal and time. He has guilt he has never spoken aloud. And he has, from the first midday meal at the Graber kitchen table, the particular quality of someone who listens as though what you are saying is the only thing worth hearing. Hannah knows what loss costs. She has paid it once and she is not willing to pay it again. She is also, slowly and against her own careful judgment, beginning to understand that what is growing between them might be worth the cost. The Light Between Winters is the fourth book in the Bird-in-Hand series — a standalone Amish romance about two people who know exactly what love costs, and what happens when they find it anyway. From Catherine Miller, author of Where the Heart Remains , The Road Back to You and Where the Quiet Lives.
