In the captivating third and final novel of the Amish Journey series, bestselling author Beth Wiseman delves into the intricate dynamics of a newlywed couple, Samuel and Lydia, as they navigate the complexities of their marriage of convenience.

Lydia finds herself grappling with the surreal reality of being Mrs. Samuel Bontrager, a seventeen-year-old mother to a six-month-old daughter, Mattie.

Samuel, on the other hand, understands that their marriage was a necessary decision when Lydia became pregnant. He has even grown to cherish Lydia, though he struggles to express his feelings openly. What if Lydia does not reciprocate his love? After all, she consistently pushes him away when he attempts to draw closer.

When Lydia and Samuel introduce their mutual friends Beverly and Joseph to each other, they are both filled with envy and delight as they witness their friends falling in love.
