Grace's Forgiveness

Grace is an independent woman in a time where the Amish are expected to be married and caring for a family. She loves the life she has managing an Amish store with her friend Sarah and no regrets that the men she has thought of as relationship material reject her based on one birthmark that makes her who she is not what she is made of. Yet all thoughts of spinsterhood disappear when the new shop owner next door Mark comes to make his introductions. She blushes with the thrill of having such feelings toward a man of great woodworking talent.

Their feelings grow as their faith and beliefs deepen in the community, church, and one another. But there is a problem for Mark that he cannot side step especially when he comes face-to-face with the issue. He has kept his own bruder a secret from everyone since he was shunned for leaving the Amish community and when discovered together Sarah’s father says they can no longer plan a life together as Mark will not follow the church doctrine. But love and faith have a way of working such issues out and with a lot of prayers between them and those surrounding them the bad becomes the glorious and the possibility of a lifetime of love reveals itself for everyone to see.

There are always pockets of hope if you look for them.

Will Mark King be able to start over in Berlin, Ohio? Or will a family member from back home put Mark's Amish membership in a new church in jeopardy?

Will Grace Blauch find a husband who will look past her birthmark and look at her with beauty instead?
