Awakening Love — June Bryan Belfie

While visiting a close friend who relocated from Pennsylvania to Ohio, Anna Miller meets a young attractive widower. It appears to be a providential meeting, since Anna had been praying for the young man and his three remaining children after reading of their tragic buggy accident months before. Abe Stoltzfus desires a wife for the sake of his children. His three-year-old daughter refuses to leave her aunt, who has been caring for the child since the death of her mother. Abe believes Anna is just the woman to win his young family over and unite them once again. But Anna's rambunctious sons are not all enthusiastic about having a new father and Abe's eldest son is reluctant to call a new woman, Mamm. Other obstacles arise as they try to unite the seven children. Where will they settle? Will Anna and Abe overcome the objections from the children and other family members and attempt to marry? Anna's sister, Beth, has managed to destroy her own relationship with an Amish man she had come to care for. Will she find someone new, or can she repair the damage done?
