C Is for Courting
The second eldest, Beth Schrock always believed herself the most level-headed sibling. Yet after almost two years in Ohio, Beth's life remains the most unsettled.



Unlike her younger sister and brothers, Beth has yet to become Amish, or fall in love, much less marry.



Still, she is about to take on the biggest responsibility of them all. She is going to be a mother. A single mother. While she's not proud of her actions, she is excited, and hopeful about a new sense of purpose.



When Beth takes part-time work at Junior Lambright's candle factory, it doesn't take long for unexpected sparks to ignite-or for Junior to become the friend Beth clearly needs. But neither expects a romance. Ten years older than Beth, Junior seems content to devote himself to work and his two senior Labradors. And as Beth's due date looms, she must decide whether to return to Cleveland and her high-paying, high-stress job. But she'd miss so much about Walden-including Junior . . . And then, Junior proposes.



Beth is sure Junior's offer is only to save her reputation . . . Unless, like her, Junior is also yearning for something more. With faith, and the courage to open their hearts, they might soon find out . . .
