A Love for Leah

By Amy Lillard

Book Overview

For the Amish of Pontotoc, Mississippi, faith can open minds--and hearts--to create surprising bonds for a lifetime . . . Independent-minded Leah Gingerich has always been outspoken. And even though she is now a progressive Mennonite, she's rediscovering the joys of family traditions back in her Amish hometown. Yet she can't help but clash with her handsome new Amish neighbor, Jamie Stoltzfus. He's too hard-headed and old-line to see that his traumatized young nephew, Peter, needs faith and help--or that a woman who stands up to him may be what he needs to heal . . . After a devastating tragedy, Jamie moved to Pontotoc with his nephew for a fresh start. Holding fast to his beliefs is the only way he feels he can aid Peter--and himself. But somehow, Leah's freethinking ways and feisty challenges are sparking a happiness he's never felt before. Soon, Jamie can't imagine his life without her. But are their differences ultimately too great to overcome--or can love bridge their way to a future together?

Amy Lillard, once again, gives her readers a heartwarming story of Leah Gingerich, twin sister of Hannnah Gingerich from her book A Home for Hannah. Unlike the rest of Leah's family, who are of the Amish faith, she is a member of the Mennonite church. Leah is independent, outspoken, owns her own business and is also hard headed. Jamie Stoltzfus, has just moved to Pontotoc with his young nephew Peter, after a devastating tragedy. Jamie is also lives next door to the Gingerich's farm and the family has taken him "under his wings' and has help him and Peter out. The only member of the Gingerich famiy that Jamie is having a hard time with is Leah. It seem that the both of them are always "butting heads" over issues. The more time Leah and Jamie interact with each other the more attraction there is between the two. The biggest issue between the two of them is the fact that Leah is Mennonite and has no desire to go back to being Amish and Jamie the Amish faith. You will love reading Leah's story.
