As an Amish midwife, Abigail Graber loves bringing babies into the world. But when a difficult delivery takes a devastating turn, Abigail is faced with some hard choices. Despite her best efforts, the young mother dies—but the baby is saved.

When a heartless judge confines Abigail to the county jail for her mistakes, her sister Catherine comes to care for her children while Daniel works his fields. Catherine meets Daniel's reclusive cousin, Isaiah, who's deaf and thought to be simple minded by his community. She endeavors to teach him to communicate and discovers he possesses unexpected gifts and talents.

While Abigail searches for forgiveness, Catherine changes lives and, in return, finds love, something long elusive in her life. And Isaiah discovers God, who cares nothing about our handicaps or limitations in His sustaining love.

An inspirational tale of overcoming grief, maintaining faith, and finding hope in an ever-changing world.

About This Series: Fans of superb Amish fiction will welcome the rich and moving stories of The Wayne County series by the bestselling author of A Widow's Hope, Never Far from Home, and The Way to a Man's Heart.

      Amish midwife Abigail Graber conducts a difficult delivery in which the mother dies and the child is saved. Accused of a crime, Abigail is sentenced to jail time, with no hope of raising the $1 million bail. Her husband, Daniel, must tend their farm and is unable to watch over their children. Abigail's sister, Catherine, arrives to care for them and meets Daniel's deaf cousin, Isaiah. VERDICT Ellis's ("Miller Family" series) new Amish series launch is a gripping tale of choices made and faith tested. Recommend this one to fans of Jodi Picoult's Plain Truth and Chris Bohjalian's Midwives, as well as those who enjoy their Amish fiction with a touch of suspense.
