An Amish Surprise

audioboek en e-book


In the second installment of the ā€œenjoyable and charmingā€ (USA TODAY) Shelley Shepard Grayā€™s delightful Berlin Bookmobile series, librarian Sarah Anne Miller returns to Berlin to help a childless Amish couple form the family theyā€™ve always prayed for.

Miriam and Calvin Gingerich have been trying for a baby for several years, but the Lord hasnā€™t seen fit to bless them. Though Calvin claims heā€™s content with their childless state, Miriam knows heā€™s not, and when he starts spending more time off their farm, she worries heā€™s found someone else. But just as she finds herself at her lowest point, she discovers the ultimate surprise. Unable to confide in anyone who might tell Calvinā€”out of fear sheā€™ll disappoint him with another miscarriageā€”Miriam turns to bookmobile librarian Sarah Anne Millerā€”and any books she may have on pregnancy and childbirth.

Calvin has been keeping a secret from his wife, but itā€™s not another woman. Itā€™s a little boy. One afternoon when visiting Sarah Anneā€™s bookmobile, he meets Miles, a ten-year-old living with a foster family down the road. But after spending more time with the boy, Calvin learns that his foster family has no plans to adopt him. Calvin feels a connection with Miles and yearns to give the boy a home, but heā€™s afraid to tell Miriam, knowing sheā€™s devastated they canā€™t have children of their own.

As weeks pass and Sarah Anne learns that Miles has nearly given up hope of ever finding a real home, she knows itā€™s time to intervene. Itā€™s going to take some fancy footwork and a whole lot of prayer, but she knows she can help make this struggling couple into a happy family of four.
