Overview:

Lois Yoder loves her life and her work in Paradise, Pennsylvania, where she runs an Amish gift shop. That is, she loves it until Moses Lantz intends to buy it and make the area into a tourist hub. The intent itself would be bad enough if Moses had not been the man who broke her heart and now she has to face him every day.

Lois decides to join a bird watcher’s circle letter in an attempt to keep her mind off her job and all that is happening. No spoiler here because it will be revealed early in the story, but Moses decides to join the same letter, both of them using a pseudonym! Imagine how this could turn out? It is a delightful romance with a lovely ending.
