The King Homestead series

When Samuel King returns to Hope Hollow after five years away, he finds a village unchanged—except for Leah Lapp, the woman he once loved and the bakery she now runs with quiet strength and a guarded heart. Their past is a tangle of unanswered questions, unspoken pain, and a secret that has shaped both their lives.

Widower Thomas Shea is drowning in grief, his young daughter Lily silent beside him. His late wife’s dream greenhouse stands as a rusted monument to his loss. When his neighbor insists on hiring Katie King, a gentle Amish gardener with a gift for reviving forgotten things, Thomas expects a simple business transaction.

In the quiet Amish settlement of Hope Hollow, where tradition weaves through every aspect of life like the threads of a well-loved quilt, Martha Beiler carries the weight of her father’s name with quiet dignity. As the eldest daughter of Bishop Elias Beiler, she knows her duty—to marry well, to uphold the Ordnung, and to set an example for the younger girls in the community. When her father arranges her courtship with Abram Stoltzfus, a prosperous farmer known for his unwavering devotion to the church, Martha accepts without complaint.
