This is my first post for First Line Fridays and I am excited to be participating! First Line Friday is hosted by Hoarding Books.
Today for First Line Friday, I am sharing from The Preacher's Daughter, the second book in the Infamous Amish Series by Patricia Johns.
About the Book:
For a Pennsylvania Amish family whose faith has been tested, the
blessings of marriage, home, and togetherness seem impossible. Patricia
Johns brings her trademark warmth to this story of love's powerful
redemption.
With her preacher father in prison for fraud,
Elizabeth Yoder's life in the community of Bounti-ful has been painfully
uprooted. Mindful of wearing out her welcome with her family, she jumps
at the chance to stay with elderly Bridget Lantz while the woman's
daughter is away. Elizabeth has secret plans to leave for another Amish
community where she might get a fresh start, but here with Bridget, she
feels comfortable--until Bridget's strapping grandson, Solomon, returns
from eight years with the English, and inspires feelings that shake
Elizabeth's resolution...
Solomon has had his own trouble with
the law, after falling in with some bad influences. He's paid the price,
despite his innocence, but the Amish are even more wary of him than
they are of spirited Elizabeth. With good reason, he supposes--he's not
sure he's ready to commit to this way of life again, especially since
the Englishers are the ones offering him solutions. The only thing that
seems certain is his attraction to Elizabeth. As they strive to find
their places in the community, and with each other, can they open their
hearts to the blessing of love?

Music and laughter swirled through the assembly room, a shiney animated scene within a life-sized bauble.
