      Falling for an Englisher

      With dreams of marrying an Old Order Amish man, Leah Yoder plans on raising children in the peaceful Delaware community. But when Mennonite missionary Daniel Brown arrives to share his story with their church, Leah is fascinated by him. She spends time with Daniel in a forbidden courtship to learn how she truly feels about him. Before long, Leah has a choice to make. Should she stay with her community...or leave with the man she believes God has placed in her life’s path?

      “You’re Daniel Brown, the hero who saved that boy from the mob?”

      “Hardly a hero,” Daniel said.

      “I didn’t know…” Leah hesitated. “Now I feel foolish. I spent so much time with you tonight and I never asked you about your travels. I really feel foolish.”

      “Don’t. It was a natural mistake.” He struggled to find the right thing to say. He didn’t want her to walk away feeling embarrassed. “I’ll be looking for you—at the presentation. I hope you aren’t disappointed.”

      “No,” Leah said. “You couldn’t disappoint anyone, Daniel Brown. Least of all, me.”

      “I’ll see you there, then?”

      “Leah?” A woman called from the porch. “Are you ready?”

      “Ya,” she answered. “Coming.” She smiled at him. “I’m glad you were with me tonight.”

      “Me, too.”

      “What you said before…” she murmured shyly. “I agree. We made a good team.”

      “We did,” he said. And then, without another word, she turned and hurried off, leaving him standing there, staring after her and wishing she wasn’t going.

      lives quietly in her old farmhouse in rural Delaware amid fertile fields and lush woodlands. Fortunate enough to be born into a family of strong faith, she grew up on a dairy farm, surrounded by loving parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Emma was educated in local schools, and once taught in an Amish schoolhouse much like the one at Seven Poplars. When she’s not caring for her large family, reading and writing are her favorite pastimes.
