<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Eager to travel beyond Lancaster County, Sallie Riehl jumps at the chance to nanny in Cape May over the summer. There, she befriends a Mennonite college student who shares her interests and values her love of learning. Sallie worries what her Old Order parents will think of Edward, but when her young charge is threatened, all other concerns are cast aside.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A Heartwarming Tale of Courage and Love from Amish Fiction's #1 Author<br></b><br>When a well-to-do family asks Sallie Riehl to be their daughter's nanny for the summer at their Cape May, New Jersey, vacation home, she jumps at the chance to broaden her horizons beyond the Lancaster County Amish community where she grew up. Sallie has long dreamed of seeing more of the world, but her parents are reluctant for her to put off baptism yet another summer, and the timing is unfortunate for Perry Zook, who has renewed interest in courting her. <p/>Though she loves nannying, Sallie has free time on the weekends to enjoy the shore. It is there that she meets Kevin Kreider, a marine biology student who talks freely about all he's learning and asks about her interests, unlike most of the guys she grew up with. Time with Kevin is invigorating, and Sallie realizes she's never felt quite this alive around Perry. Then again, Kevin is Mennonite, not Amish. <p/>Sallie tries to brush aside her growing feelings for Kevin, but she fears what her parents would think about her new friendship. Just as concerning, however, is Sallie's realization that her time in Cape May is increasing her desire to see the world, challenging her plans for the future. Has she been too hasty with her promises, or will Sallie only find what her heart is longing for back home in Paradise Township?<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b><i>Oh, to see the ocean, </i></b><b>Sallie thought</b><b><i>. And to spend the summer as a nanny.</i></b><b> She shook her head in amazement. This seemed too good to be true, but she really must talk it over with Dat and Mamm, especially since she'd be gone so long. <p/></b><b><i>And after I promised Mamm I'd take baptism classes this summer . . .</i></b><b> <p/></b><i>The Ebb Tide</i><br><b><br></b>Sallie Riehl has dreamed of traveling at least once before settling down to join church, so she is thrilled at an unexpected summer opportunity to nanny in Cape May for a well-to-do family. However, saying even a temporary good-bye to Paradise Township means forgoing baptism another year, as well as leaving behind a would-be beau. Yet the weeks in Cape May soon prove unforgettable as Sallie meets a Mennonite young man whose friendship she quickly begins to cherish. Has she been too hasty with her promises, or will she only find what her heart is longing for back home? <p/>"Bestseller Lewis continues her streak of affecting, enjoyable Amish tales with this story of a young woman in present-day Lancaster County, Penn., who's eager to see the world. . . . Fans of Lewis's work or Amish fiction in general will relish this heartwarming story of self-discovery, friendship, and the search for God's will."--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><b> starred review</b> <p/>"Lewis' latest contains relatable inner conflicts, such as searching for direction and God's plan, which will likely resonate with readers. There are some twists on the typical Amish tale, especially since much of this novel takes place outside the Amish community. Tender scenes combine with strong character development, and solid spiritual wisdom is woven throughout."--<b><i>RT Book Reviews</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Beverly Lewis</b>, born in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, has more than 17 million books in print.
