Amish Inn

In the first novel of Beth Wiseman's new Amish Inn series, matchmaking widows ensure that two young artists have a second chance at love. Owning a B&B in Southern Indiana is the perfect fit for Amish sisters Esther Zook and Lizzie Glick. Both widows lived their own love stories, and now they love nothing more than to play matchmaker for others. When Naomi Byler moves into the inn following a breakup with her fiancé, she has given up on love and refuses to open her heart to another man. But when Amos Lantz arrives in town to attend a wedding, he strikes up a friendship with Naomi. He is also nursing a broken heart. Naomi and Amos agree that friendship is all they have to offer each other, but a common interest draws them together. They both enjoy painting, a hobby they gave up when their lives took tragic turns and stripped them of the passion to express themselves. When more than a friendship sneaks up on Naomi and Amos, it's Esther and Lizzie who give them the push they need to realize that God is offering them a second chance at love. But when Naomi's fiancé-Thomas-returns to reclaim Naomi's heart, things become complicated. Naomi must choose between the man she's grown to care about and the man she always thought she would marry.

Finding peace means letting go of the past-and embracing the change that is to come. Sisters Esther and Lizzie have a new employee, Rose Petersheim, to help them tend to The Peony Inn. But their old matchmaking ways have stayed the same. The sisters focus their efforts on the lovely twenty-five-year-old Rose. Though Rose is witty and outspoken, her nervous chattering makes her the best match for someone calm and good at listening. Someone like Benjamin-the handsome handyman who recently moved to town. But when Esther receives an anonymous love letter and flowers, Rose's love life is no longer the only one capturing the sisters' attention. As they sleuth around searching for Esther's secret admirer, they uncover that their grumpy renter, Gus, has a secret of his own that could bring about a difficult change in all their lives. And their continued meddling in Rose's affairs reveals she, too, is hiding something-an old wound that could threaten her future happiness. As Rose, Lizzie, Esther, and Gus struggle to release the weight of their pasts, they discover that although people are complicated, love doesn't need to be. This charming third installment of the Amish Inn series from bestselling author Beth Wiseman is a picture of loss and healing in which forgiveness will prove to be the greatest act of love.
