The time for wondering is over.
The time for commitment is now.
And yet…
Tyler Anderson is torn between two worlds—Amish and Englisch. Born to an ex-Amish mother and an Englisch father, he is raised as a military kid until his mom passes away and his dad places him in the care of his Amish grandparents. Now 23, Tyler knows it’s time to commit to the Amish church for good. Still he hesitates, unsure if he’ll ever truly belong.
Rachel Hoeck has been patient as she waits for Tyler to make up his mind and become her husband. But as much as Tyler adores Rachel, he can’t be certain this is God’s plan for his life. Conflicted, he prays for direction and peace—only to find himself being pulled to the outside world yet again. During a stay with his father’s second family in Southern California, Tyler meets a free-spirited young woman named Lark, putting his future with Rachel even more in question.
As pressure mounts on both sides, will Tyler choose to stay with Lark and remain an Englischer? Or will he find his way back to Rachel and become her Amish groom at last?
A poignant novel of the search for identity and lifetime love, nestled between a beloved Amish community and an exciting modern world.
