Amish & Mennonites

The first book in beloved Amish novelist Linda Byler's Seekers series.<BR><BR>As a young man growing up in an Amish family, Amos struggles to fit in. Slow in school, overweight, and afflicted with terrible acne, he feels he's a constant disappointment to his mother, sisters, teachers, and employers. Convinced that he will never be good enough for them, he leaves home and accepts a job as a live-in groundskeeper for an “English” (non-Amish) couple. Gradually, he moves toward a healthier, more confident version of himself. But he can't leave behind the fact that living as an English person—driving a pickup truck, sporting short hair and a flannel button-up shirt—is the greatest disappointment to his family yet.<BR><BR>When Amos meets Skye, he's drawn to her refreshingly forthright mannerisms. With her camouflage baseball cap and love of the outdoors, she's fun and free in ways that only an English girl can be. And then there's Anna, a young Amish woman who is sweet and kind and unmistakably cute. In fact, she's special enough to make him wonder if he could go back to the Amish life to be with her. But how could he do that with any kind of sincerity, given he's not even sure he believes in God?<BR><BR>Author Linda Byler is an active member of the Amish church and writes all her novels by hand with a pen and notebook. She offers a unique and fascinating look into Amish history and culture.

Have you ever met someone who turns your world upside down? Someone who makes you question everything you thought you knew about life, love, and the choices that shape your future? That's what happened to Lena Harris-a restless journalist from New York who finds herself in the heart of Amish country, searching for a story, but discovering something more. And then there's Caleb Fisher, a man caught between duty to his family and the desires he's kept buried for far too long. When their worlds collide, sparks fly-but so do doubts, fears, and the pull of two vastly different lives. *Crossing Hearts* is a story about the lines we draw between tradition and freedom, between following the rules and following our hearts. It's about taking risks, breaking free from expectations, and daring to love across the boundaries that separate us. But when everything you've known is at stake, is love enough to bridge the gap?

Somewhere between the old world and the new, Elizabeth Harper finds herself torn between duty and desire, tradition and freedom. Raised in a close-knit Amish community, she's always known what her life was supposed to be-simple, predictable, and bound by the values of her family. But when a wealthy outsider, Lucas Grayson, arrives in town to restore a forgotten mansion, everything she thought she wanted is thrown into question. Lucas is everything Elizabeth's world warns her against-ambitious, worldly, and carrying a heart hardened by loss. Yet beneath the tension and clashing worldviews, something undeniable sparks between them. As their connection deepens, Elizabeth is forced to confront the dreams she's kept hidden and the fear that following her heart might mean leaving behind everything she's ever known. But love is rarely straightforward. With the pressures of family, community, and the ghosts of past choices looming, Elizabeth and Lucas must decide if they're willing to fight for something that doesn't fit into neat categories. In a world where tradition dictates one path and the heart desires another, how far will they go for a love that defies expectation?
