Everyone thinks Rebecca Yoder and Levi Miller are courting. They know better. At least, they do at first.

Rebecca has spent years finding the right words for other people's lives. As the volunteer scribe for her Ohio Amish community, she records births and weddings, visitors and illnesses, storms weathered and blessings received. At thirty-four, the skilled seamstress is dependable, respected, and devoted to her widowed brother's family.

What she almost never writes about is herself.

Then Levi Miller comes home.

Fifteen years ago, the Amish carpenter left before their affection could become a real courtship. Neither forgot what might have been—or fully understood why it ended.

Now a newspaper column mentions Levi was a guest at a Yoder family supper, and soon everyone assumes Rebecca and Levi are finally courting.

They aren't.

Rebecca refuses to let gossip decide whom she sees. So when a spring storm damages the local schoolhouse, she keeps helping with the rebuilding effort, even though Levi's carpentry skills put them side by side.

The misunderstanding that separated them finally comes into the open. This time, they choose to begin again deliberately, promising not to decide the other's future without asking.

Then Levi is offered work that could take him away for months. Rebecca can accept difficult choices. What she cannot accept is discovering that Levi has once again begun making one for her.

To build the future they nearly lost twice, Rebecca must learn that humility does not require erasing her own desires—and Levi must learn that love means sharing a burden before deciding how to carry it.

A mature Amish second-chance courtship.

A homecoming hero and a heroine learning to speak for herself.

Family devotion, faith, schoolhouse rebuilding, and slow-burning affection.
