By: Shelley Shepard Gray | Series: Amish ABCs
After a lifetime working and living in bustling Millersburg, Ohio, 50-something Amish couple Mervin and Ruthie Miller have started anew in bucolic Walden—as “Gentlemen Farmers.” But they’ve discovered there’s nothing particularly gentle about farming. Good thing they have plenty of visitors happy to help out . . .
Ruthie always had a soft spot for 22-year-old Ella Pendleton, her former co-worker at Millersburg Fabric and Quilts. So when Ella is fired, Ruthie invites her to spend a couple of weeks in Walden. After all, she misses seeing Ella every day, and a picturesque change of scenery could lift her spirits, especially amid the holidays and the chill of winter. In return for Ruthie’s generous offer, Ella promises to help Ruthie learn to knit. But she is soon helping with more than that . . .
Ella quickly settles into the Millers’ guest room—and quickly realizes that the farm has them in over their heads. Charmed by Ruthie’s adorable, clueless, needy sheep, Ella volunteers to look after them. Her days soon fall into a routine. And then burly, darkly handsome, hard-working Russ Tate comes along . . .
Russ is a 30-year-old Amish carpenter who’s been hired to remodel the Millers’ kitchen. He’s quiet, a confirmed bachelor—and has no business crushing on an English young woman. And yet, like so much that involves the Millers, nothing goes quite as planned. Not the remodel, life with sheep—or trying not to fall for sweet, petite, kind-hearted Ella Pendleton.
