The tornado that devastated Kings’ Orchard pushed Rhoda, Samuel, and Jacob to make a new start in Maine. Are they strong enough to withstand the challenges of establishing an Amish community—and brave enough to face the secrets that move with them?
On the eve of their departure to begin a new Old Order Amish community outside of Unity, Maine, Rhoda Byler is shocked to discover that choices made by her business partner and friend, Samuel King, have placed her and her unusual gifts directly into the path of her district’s bishop and preachers. She is furious with Samuel and is fearful that the Kings will be influenced by the way her leaders see her, and not what they know to be true—that Rhoda’s intuition is a gift from God.
Jacob King won’t be swayed by community speculation. He loves Rhoda, believes in her, and wants to build a future with her in Maine. But when the ghosts of his past come calling and require him to fulfill a great debt, can he shake their hold before it destroys what he has with Rhoda? Samuel has a secret of his own—one he’ll go to great lengths to keep hidden, even if it means alienating those closest to him. Throwing himself into rehabilitating the once-abandoned orchard, Samuel turns to a surprising new ally.
Book 2 of the Amish Vines and Orchards series asks: can the three faithfully follow God’s leading and build a new home and orchard in Maine? Or will this new beginning lead to more ruin and heartbreak?

When a tornado destroys the King Family Orchards, Rhonda Byler and her brother's family move to Maine with Jacob and Samuel King in the hopes of starting a new Amish settlement. Jacob loves Rhonda, but he is, nonetheless, harboring secrets from his past. Now Samuel seems to be pushing Rhonda away, too. Can the group make the new settlement work with so many mysteries in the air? VERDICT This second installment in Woodsmall's "Amish Vines and Orchards" series picks up where A Season for Tending left off, and readers will want to finish that one before picking up this new entry. Existing characters are further developed, and new ones are introduced. Recommend it to fans of Wanda E. Brunstetter.
