<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Romance is in the air during the fall wedding season in the Amish community of Cedar Creek. But while one loving couple prepares to tie the knot, Amanda and Wyman Brubaker's large family faces a threat from outside their happy circle...and must learn to pull together.</b> <p/>Recently wed Amanda and Wyman Brubaker are thrilled that their children from previous marriages have blended together to form a strong family. But when the construction of Wyman's new grain elevator is delayed, making the project more expensive than anticipated, Amanda's determination to rally the kids into taking on work to improve the family's finances comes into conflict with Wyman's sense of responsibility as head of the household.... <p/>Meanwhile, as James Graber and Abby Lambright prepare for their long-awaited nuptials, folks gather from far and wide. Amanda's nephew Jerome has long been smitten with James's sister Emma and wants to seize this chance to woo her. But Emma's been burned once and is twice shy of trusting the fun-loving, never-serious Jerome. As Emma and Jerome struggle to understand each other, and find the courage to make a leap of faith, the Brubakers face a bigger challenge than they first anticipated and begin to discover just what it means to fight...the Amish way.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for the Novels of Naomi King<br></b><br>"King's lyrical style shines in a tender tale of how love and forgiveness heal broken hearts and restore a family and a community.

Readers of Janette Oke and Beverly Lewis will enjoy the latest in King's Amish series."--<i>Library Journal</i> <p/>"The very talented Naomi King instantly pulls you into the lives and loves in this small Amish community....King has an amazing talent for developing realistic characters that have to grapple with life issues and through faith find workable solutions for themselves and others."--Fresh Fiction <p/>"A superbly written, engaging Amish novel that will tug at your heartstrings....King does a fine job of continuing to create that small-town feel."--The Book Connection <p/>"A talented author who writes from her heart."--<i>RT Book Reviews</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Drawing upon her experiences in Jamesport, Missouri, the largest Old Order Amish community west of the Mississippi, longtime Missourian <b>Naomi King</b> writes of simpler times in her Home at Cedar Creek series.
