LeEtta Miller is twenty-two and has never been kissed or courted—unless you count fifteen-year-old Jonas Hostetter’s obsession. LeEtta does not. Benuel Ropp, or Ben as most call him, arrives in town after his father gives the family farm to his younger brother. Despite pouring his heart into it, Ben is determined to earn enough to buy his own farm in Ohio. A chance meeting sparks an unexpected connection between LeEtta and Ben. In their strict Amish community, even small actions have big consequences. When they are forced into marriage, they must learn to navigate life as strangers. This book is perfect from start to finish. Every word and character drips with emotion, movement, and love. LeEtta and Ben are compelling, relatable, and heartfelt. Secondary characters like quirky Mammi Iola and grieving Arlen add depth and charm, while Jonas’s antics create necessary tension. Steele’s storytelling transports you straight to Amish Country, making this a fantastic read for fans of forced marriage, strangers-to-love, and quirky family dynamics.
