"From bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray, comes a tender story of faith, family, and finding love with the Amish of Sugarcreek ... Christina Kempf has always known that God chose Aden Reese to be her husband. As children, Aden was there to save her when she fell through a patch of thin ice, and he's been by her side ever since. After his parents died in a car accident ten years ago, the Kempfs raised Aden as one of their own, and everyone sees Aden and Christina as brother and sister. But Christina has never given up hope that Aden will one day see her as the perfect woman for him ... and ask her to be his wife. Despite what his heart wants, Aden can't find it in himself to repay the Kempfs' kindness by admitting that his feelings for Christina have only ever been romantic. But when she's pressured by her parents to court more broadly, Christina begins to accept the attentions of Sugarcreek's young men. Now, Aden must make a choice. Will he stand by and watch the love of his life slip away? Or will he risk losing the love and trust of the family he holds dear to tell Christina how he truly feels?"--
