This is the last book of my Amish Seasons five-book series. I fell in love with the small community of Campton Creek, PA. And I have Jeremiah Weaver to thank for that. He came into my head on a day when I was doubting my storytelling abilities. I felt his torment and saw his story. That book was Their Amish Reunion. Since then, I’ve created many characters who return to Campton Creek to find love and faith again.
All of the books are set there, but they all stand alone plot-wise. These characters spoke to me and showed me the way.
In this last book (for now), and once again, the characters showed me the way in writing this emotional story. I wanted to end this phase of the series with returning characters who all come together to help Micah, the Amish man who falls for Samantha Herndon, the woman who was once Amish and is now running for her life. Micah was bitter after a tragic accident and survivor’s guilt, but he’s doing his best to raise his twin siblings.
Samantha has always walked in two worlds—Amish and English. But she, like most of my heroes and heroines in this series, returns to Campton Creek to find safety and solitude. She wasn’t expecting to fall for Micah and the twins.
I think this is how life works—sometimes we see God in our minds and feel Him in our hearts, but we’re afraid to let Him in completely. We seek refuge in many places and in many ways, running toward that elusive dream of perfection. But as these stories have shown, life is not perfect. But God’s love and the faith of family and friends can bring us that perfect peace of knowing we are not alone. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series and if you haven’t read the other books, I hope you’ll consider doing that. These stories have helped me through some bad seasons of life.
And who knows, you just might find me back in Campton Creek, seeking refuge again!
Until next time, may the angels watch over you. Always.
