About this ebook

Journey back to 1858 Berlin, Ohio, in this free short story e-romance prequel from The Amish of Apple Grove series by Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith. For 19-year-old Jonas Switzer, the promise of a productive life as an Amish farmer is only as real as a dream on the western horizon. Living on the charity of the Bylers, and with no claim to a family farm, Jonas's future depends on a bold plan and an ambitious move. He also longs to catch the eye of Caroline Hersberger, the most beautiful young woman in the village, and share his dream with her. Will Matthew Kennel woo her first? Will she reject Jonas outright? Only God knows, and only He can provide Jonas with a godly wife and a home in the West.

Ratings and reviews

God is so good. When you don't even know He is working in your life. He there already has things planned out. What a wonderful story about Jonas and his dream of a home in the west. God sees the desires of our heart and if it is for your best interest your dream or one that is better will come to pass. God always gives us the best. I would recommend this book.

Sweet but short it's a shame to kill a story that could of been a very good story. To bad, so sad

Good start , But to short. The story barely began then it was over. Very disappointed
