    About this series

    An Old Flame Brings a Spark of New Hope

    En Alt Maedel-an old maid.

    At age twenty-nine, that's what Eva Lapp considers herself. And who could argue with her? Finding a good Amish husband at her age will be next to impossible. Plus, Eva's unwarranted bad reputation in Lancaster County precedes her. Maybe living the Englisch life would be better.

    Squeezed out of her childhood home by her brother's boisterous family, Eva finds lodging and a new job managing a small cafe at a local plant nursery. But the challenge of her new position isn't enough to distract from her current predicament.

    To Eva's surprise, her first love, Jake Miller, suddenly returns to Lancaster County. Flooded with emotions and filled with questions about Jake's past, can Eva trust what she's feeling?

    Jake and Eva face many obstacles in their quest for a fresh start in the community, but perhaps with God's help, they can find the redemption they both desperately need.
