Thanksgiving blessing

Marta Perry

An Amish Holiday Novel, 3

As a widow with two-year-old twins and a struggling orchard, Rebecca King's dreams of expanding her business seem near impossible. To make matters worse, a troublesome string of destructive acts around Promise Glen threatens her roadside fruit and vegetable stand, forcing Rebecca to accept the help of her condescending new neighbour, Nathan Mueller. Nathan didn't intend to offend Rebecca with his offer to share the stand, especially since he's a widower and single parent himself. He admires Rebecca's strength and kindness in the face of adversity. If only they hadn't started off on the wrong foot ... Despite their best efforts to shield their hearts, working side by side through the busy harvest plants the seeds of a budding friendship. But when the vandalism spreading through Promise Glen escalates to arson and rumours blaze through the town, they'll have to learn to rely on each other more than ever. As Thanksgiving approaches, Rebecca and Nathan are forced to reconcile with their own grief, forgive what can't be changed and come to truly understand the core values of the holiday - love and gratitude
