1 of 1 copy available

Bestselling author Mary Ellis offers an engaging new standalone Amish romance about a prodigal seeking to find his way home.

Though Caleb Beachy lived in the Englisch world for some years, he is a Plain man at heart. When he decides to return to the Amish lifestyle, he moves back home and goes to work for his father. Soon these two strong-willed men find themselves at odds. Caleb discovers there's more to embracing his faith and reconnecting with the community than merely driving a horse and buggy and giving up Levis.

Josie Yoder was just a girl when he left. All grown up now, she gives Caleb hope for the future. She soothes his frayed temper and is determined to remind him that while his faith may have wavered, God never left his side. Caleb is tempted to return Josie's feelings, but the choices he made while away are a heavy burden on his conscience. Will past mistakes end up destroying their fledgling romance? Or will she be able to break through the wall around his heart?

A Plain Man is more than just a sweet romance centered in Amish beliefs. It's the ever-fresh story of a wounded heart finding joy, health, and healing in God's infinite grace.

Now back home and working for his father, he finds that their relationship has become contentious.

At the same time he reacquaints himself with Josie Yoder, who is now a grown woman--and an attractive one at that. Josie holds out hope that she can heal Caleb and show him that the grace of God was always with him. As romance blossoms, so does the guilt Caleb holds for his actions during his absence, making him unsure if he can or should return Josie's love. VERDICT The prodigal son returns to find solace and discovers unexpected love.
