Description
Brought into marriage by tragedy, Ruby and Joshua must nurture the love they deny to build a happy life together.
Ruby Sweitzer accepts her life as the village schoolteacher. When the bishop tells her that she will be replaced by a younger woman and sent to another community, she is devastated. A way out presents itself when the widowed father of one of her students proposes marriage. Although they don't love each other, she readily accepts.
Desperate for help with his disabled son and grieving his wife's death, Joshua Lambright makes it clear he'll never love Ruby. Joshua only hopes she won't leave when she sees the one-sided bargain she's made, especially once she learns his hardware store is failing. But Ruby is determined to be a good mother and a good wife to Joshua. Both of the Lambright men have potential, and Ruby knows it's her destiny to help them heal, grow, and flourish … if only Joshua will allow her in.
This sweet tale from Annie's Hearts of Amish Country series is a must-read for those who love stories of faith, friendship, and wholesome romance.
