Summary: "After an accident takes the lives of her parents and leaves Joanna Schrock injured, she must overcome her grief in order to open her heart to healing, forgiveness, and love. Joanna Schrock returns home after a long stint in a physical rehabilitation center, but everything is different. Her parents have died, her sister is married, and she is having to learn to walk again with the help of her crutches. The one thing that hasn't changed is Andrew Beiler. He is still trying to court her, to win her heart, despite the fact that she does not deserve his attention. After all, she should have been the one to die in that accident, not her parents. Andrew knows Joanna is worth fighting for, if only she could see it for herself. The woman he fell in love with--the one who also fell in love with him--is still in there, he's sure about it. And if he has to meet her down in her dark valley to help her find her way out, he will do so gladly. When the police finally catch and arrest the man responsible for the accident, Joanna must face not only the man who caused the greatest tragedy in her life, but also her own inner demons. If she can find it in herself to forgive the man behind the wheel, can she finally find forgiveness for herself for surviving? And open her heart to the love she's been denying herself?"-- Provided by publisher.Summary: An accident took the lives of her parents, and as Joanna Schrock returns home after a long stint in a physical rehabilitation center everything is different.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:



An argument. A crash. In an instant, Joanna's world is changed forever.

One minute, Joanna Schrock was arguing with her parents, and the next, her parents' lives were claimed in a hit-and-run buggy accident. Her body is broken, but her heart is in even deeper pain-- after all, how do you cope with your parents' deaths when your last words were spoken in anger

After an extended stint in a physical rehabilitation center, Joanna re-enters her Amish life. But nothing is the same--not even her feelings for Andrew Beiler.

Joanna has loved Andrew since the age of twelve, and her feelings have not changed throughout the years. She is thrilled when Andrew wants to get married, but she wonders whether it's love he's feeling, or pity. As the couple's wedding date approaches, Joanna isn't overcome with the deep joy she was hoping to feel; instead, she's wracked with anxiety and guilt.

Joanna hears God whispering to her, Be strong and courageous, but she's afraid that courage looks a lot like walking away from her dreams and into the plan of her Heavenly Father.

If Joanna takes the first step toward healing, will it cost her everything she's ever wanted Or could God be changing the desires of her heart
