And the Schrocks couldn’t be more surprised when the grandkids want to try living with them–and joining their faith . . . When Jonny hears startling news about his health, he knows it’s past time to change his life. Quitting college, he unexpectedly finds the fulfilling job of his dreams.

A bad breakup left Treva heartbroken–and resolved to be independent without relying on anyone ever again. Exhausted from pouring everything she’s got into her cafe, she’s stunned by Jonny’s easygoing ways–and drawn to his optimistic nature. But when she thinks his real interest is in becoming Amish, she’s even more determined to stay focused–and keep her heart safe . . . Soon, deep secrets and hidden family truths will test Jonny and Treva in unexpected ways. And with help from his warm-hearted grandparents, he and Treva might gain the happiness they secretly long for–with each other.
