  A Merry Heart
paperback, 288 pages, $12.95
Book one. Miriam Stoltzfus was once filled with wonderful dreams for a future with the man she'd loved since childhood-until he moved away and married someone else, leaving her heart a bitter shell. Now Miriam is known in her community as the "old maid" schoolteacher with a "heart of stone."

Amos Hilty wants to court Miriam, but she's certain that he only wants a mother for his daughter and a wife for convenience. Her heart warms to a more interesting friendship in the form of Nick McCormick, a newspaper reporter outside her Amish faith, who is easy to talk to-and, incredibly, makes her smile again. Will Miriam ever let go of her bitter spirit and surrender her will to God? Or will she leave the Amish faith and find what she longs for in the outside world?

  Looking for a Miracle
paperback, 288 pages, $12.95
Book two. As a child, Rebekah suffered a freak accident that left her legs paralyzed. Now confined to a wheelchair most of the time, she feels that she will never measure up to the expectations of her Pennsylvania Amish community that a woman marry and raise a family. She longs to be loved for who she is, but she has come to believe that marriage is not for her and that she will always be a burden to her family.

When Daniel Beachy-who has long seemed smitten by Rebekah's cousin-begins to spend time with Rebekah, she believes it is only because he feels sorry for her and is interested in obtaining her new business. After all, what man would choose a woman with a handicap such as hers for a wife? Will Rebekah ever find the miracle she is looking for?

  Plain and Fancy
paperback, $12.95
Book 3. Laura Meade grew up with all the modern conveniences and frills that her fancy English world could offer. While studying interior design at a school in Lancaster Pennsylvania, she becomes fascinated with the Amish who live in the area and she seeks to learn more about their culture. When Laura meets Eli Yoder, one of the Plain People, she falls hopelessly in love.

Never much of a churchgoer, Laura has no real concept of God's love or the need to attend church. Eli, a baptized member of the Amish church, is enamored with Laura, as well. However, the rules of his church forbid him to marry outside the faith, and he knows that should he decide to leave, he will face a shunning. Is it good for two people-one plain, and the other fancy-to fall in love? Will Laura and Eli find a way to be together?

  The Hope Chest
paperback, $12.95
Book 4. Rachel Beachy desires and hopes for something she can't have-her sister Anna's boyfriend. Silas Swartley has been in love with the spirited Anna since they were children, and Rachel, the tomboy, has loved Silas for nearly as long. Like Job from the Bible, Rachel feels that her swiftly moving days are spent without hope-hope of ever making Silas take notice of her.

But when Anna unexpectedly leaves the Amish faith, Rachel's hope is rekindled. She initiates a campaign to win Silas's heart and beings to fill her hope chest when she discovers how much she and Silas have in common.

Can Silas set the pain of Anna's rejection aside and see Rachel as anything ore than a tomboy who is little more than a child? Will Rachel be disappointed in Silas and in God, or will she learn the true meaning of hope?

Amish Fiction
Six Amish barns burn to the ground one night in the Big Valley of central Pennsylvania. A ten-year-old Amish boy is critically injured in one of the fires. Jacob Hostetler, a young Amish man who left home months ago, is the prime suspect. But Jacob is missing. What happens to a youth who leaves his Amish community, tempted by the outside world? Why would someone attack the Amish.

Ted Wojtasik became a trusted friend as he lived for months among the Nebraska Amish, the most traditional districts among the Amish. He woke at dawn to milk cows, knelt with families for morning prayers, ate in Amish kitchens, pitched hay, rode in buggies, loaded milk cans, attended livestock auctions--and much more.

His novel accurately depicts their simple and faithful lives in the complicated times of the 1990's.

Cover...
This historical novel, literary and engaging, examines a close-knit community of Amish pioneers over several decades (right up to the eve of the American Civil War).

Employing eight different voices, Miller unpeels the cohesions and tensions as settlers move west while others stay behind. Beneath the surface but never quite forgotten is the unsolved murder of an Amish baby (based on a true incident).

Set from Spring 1810 through Spring 1861, the story follows those who make their way west from Somerset, Pennsylvania to Holmes County, Ohio, but also stays close to those who choose to remain on their more established homesteads.

This is a story of judgment and misplaced responsibility, of attempts at love and forgiveness, and finally of grace despite unspeakable loss. It is told lyrically from within this often-idealized but scarred human community.
