A child brings them together… Will their differing Amish beliefs pull them apart?

Amazon

Released February 2019

The Amish Baker was a Publishers Weekly Bestseller. When his son breaks one of baker Sarah Gingerich’s prized possessions, widower Caleb Brenneman insists the boy make amends by doing odd jobs in her bake shop. A childless widow, Sarah can’t help falling for the boy…or his farmer father. But Caleb is progressive New Order Amish while Sarah holds traditional beliefs. Though they’re worlds apart, are they a perfect match?

In The Amish Baker, Sarah, who is Old Order, and Caleb, who belongs to the New Order, struggle with what their church Ordnung requires and what their hearts want.
