The Englisch Child (Amish Romance)

Rebecca Bechler is a good Amish young woman and when her shunned cousin dies, she has no hesitation in taking in her five-year-old daughter, Brooke. Rebecca's father, Noah, feels it is a mistake. Brooke is not of their world and her mother didn't want to be Amish so why should they care?

But Rebecca knows her father is hurting inside. He has never been the same since her mother's death. And he's an angry man, angry at those who leave and come back.

Timothy Umble is in love with Rebecca but Noah dislikes him because Timothy is one who left and then returned. Yet Rebecca is unaware of Timothy's unrequited love. When Timothy offers to collect Brooke, it is yet another reason for Noah to dislike him.

Rebecca resigns herself to the fact that she will never marry nor have children of her own. Even before Brooke's arrival, Rebecca had resolved never to leave her father. Timothy feels the time is right to declare his love to Rebecca.

She will need help and support with the Englisch child. Now with motherhood thrust upon her, Rebecca finds the going difficult as she tries to keep the peace between her father and Brooke who has her mother's mannerisms. How can she think about love?
