The Reconciliation




Winter in Southern Maryland's Amish country brings brisk winds, crisp snow, and evenings spent nestled by a warm fireside. For one prodigal daughter, it may also bring a new beginning...From author Susan Lantz Simpson comes the third book in an uplifting, inspirational Amish series about a tight knit Plain community where love always finds a way to bloom if one has faith.

Winter in Southern Maryland’s Amish country brings brisk winds, crisp snow, and evenings spent nestled by a warm fireside. For one prodigal daughter, it may also bring a new beginning . . .
 
On her baptismal day, Rebecca Zook ran from the church, leaving her stunned Amish community behind.  She only wanted to see something of Gott’s vast world, but city life didn’t turn out as planned. Tricked into a sham marriage, Becky has come home humbled, wiser . . . and pregnant. Her mamm and daed are welcoming, and helping an overburdened young widow gives Becky a new sense of purpose. But after creating such scandal, Becky feels unworthy of a loving husband—let alone a wunderbaar man like Atlee Stauffer.
 
Atlee knows Becky’s situation—and understands why his mother advises him to be careful. Still, this once flighty, flirty girl has become a thoughtful, kind young woman. He’s drawn to Becky like a magnet to a nail. One day, he hopes to build a family with her. But first, he must convince her wary, troubled heart to accept forgiveness and love . . .

Praise for The Promise

"This is the first installment in Simpson's The Amish of Southern Maryland series. Ben and Phoebe demonstrate the damage that can be done by carrying around shame and guilt instead of forgiving oneself....The pace is steady throughout...Ben is a truly enjoyable character, and Phoebe is as well, at times, but it comes later in the book. For the majority of the story, you feel sorry for her but also frustrated that she doesn't share her feelings with her parents, the bishop, ect. The theme of wanting to go after your own dreams will likely resonate with readers."-- RT Book Reviews
