An Amish second chance [large print] : a romance / Beth Wiseman.
A year after losing her husband to cancer, Hope Shetler is struggling to keep her apothecary alive. Without Elijah's bookkeeping skills and repair work, her shelves are emptying, and her time is running out. Help comes from the last person she expected, Rueben Bontrager, Elijah's childhood friend who vanished from her life after the funeral. Rueben has his reasons for staying away. He carries a secret that would shatter Hope's trust and dishonor the memory of his best friend. But when a vivid dream shows Hope closing her shop and leaving town, Rueben can't ignore the call to step back into her life. As the two work side by side, buried feelings stir, and long-guarded truths press to the surface. What Rueben doesn't know is that Hope has a secret of her own. Can they overcome the past and the secrets between them for a chance at love? Or will Rueben's return mean nothing more than heartbreak all over again?-- Back cover.
