The Healing — Wanda E. Brunstetter

Can a man burdened by memories of yesterday find hope in the land of tomorrow?

Samuel Fisher of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, now a single father of four, is in a state of shock following his wife's untimely death. When his brother, Titus, talks him into moving to Kentucky, hoping a fresh start will help heal Samuel's grief, Samuel packs up the kids and heads to bluegrass country.

Esther Beiler helps watch Samuel's children while he works with English contractor Allen Walters on a bed-and-breakfast owned by Englisher Bonnie Taylor. Soon Esther develops a crush on Samuel and a true affection for his children, but is there room in Samuel's heart for Esther? Or has the pretty innkeeper already taken residence there?

When misconceptions take the forefront, jealousies arise. Will peace-loving Samuel and Esther bow to the apparent competition or fight for their newfound love? How will God manage to untangle these star-crossed lovers before any damage is done?
