Keys of Heaven: An Amish novel of faith, forbidden love, and healing
Энэ электрон номын тухай
Sarah Yoder is learning to serve her Old Order Amish community as a Dokterfraa, creating teas and tinctures from the herbs in her garden and fields. But her latest patient isn’t responding to anything she concocts—a woman who, in Sarah’s mind, would be better off in any place but the one she has.
Meanwhile, Sarah’s relatives can’t resist doing some matchmaking between her and a prosperous visitor to their community. She should be willing for God to show her His choice of partner … and not allow her friendship with her neighbor, Henry Byler, to grow into anything more. Henry has seen some success as a potter since a major department-store chain commissioned his work. The trouble is that they’re telling the world he’s Amish. Though he was raised in the faith and now lives in Amish country, he never joined church—and doesn’t plan to. Which also means that, despite the attraction between them, he must keep his distance from Sarah.
The plant Sarah calls keys of heaven may grow in impossible places, but it’s not that easy for people to find the place where they really belong. So it’s quite a temptation to take matters into her own hands …
“A heartwarming tale that celebrates the best things about being Amish.” —Christian Fiction Addiction
Keys of Heaven is the fifth novel in the Whinburg Township Amish series. Books 4-6 can be read as standalones, but they’re best enjoyed as a trilogy, as they tell a complete story. No strong language, just a loving kiss and a guaranteed happily ever after. If you like books by Loree Lough, Mary Lantz, or Emma Cartwright, you’re in the right place. Enjoy!
This is the second edition. First published by Hachette FaithWords in 2015.
