About this listen
Charis Otto is eager to spend the holiday season with her beau, Eli. Perhaps, he’ll propose to her on Christmas. However, her plans are dashed when her mother forces her to go help her ailing aunt in Illinois. She tearfully departs Ohio, promising Eli she’ll write him often and be back in time for Christmas. Eli agrees to write her as well, and the two sweethearts begin a long-distance relationship.
When Charis arrives in Regentsville, Illinois, she is not welcomed as warmly as she expected, and it leads her to missing home—and Eli, that much more. However, she begins to forge a friendship with Laban Raber, the man who runs her ailing aunt’s farm.
Charis is diligent in her letter writing to Eli, but finds the longer she’s gone, the more infrequent are Eli’s responses. Not to mention, she’s growing fonder of Laban with every passing day.
When her aunt takes a turn for the worst, Charis relies on Laban, who has proven to be dependable and steady and quite charming. In an act of sacrifice, Laban takes on the extra load so Charis can go home for Christmas. Charis readily goes, but once she arrives and sees Eli, she realizes she has been mistaken all along. Now, all she wants is to get back to Illinois and Laban—but what kind of welcome will she receive this time?

Peyton Kennedy quantifies everything in terms of numbers and risk. She looks at a problem and solves it, leaving no piece of the puzzle out. When her young, too-whimsical wife inherits a derelict farmhouse from a distant aunt, Peyton can only see the bottom line. Too much work. Too much money. Time. Energy. Definitely not worth saving.

This...this may be the straw that breaks her marriage's back, and Peyton's worried about how not worried that makes her.

Martha Detweiler has a problem many Amish women her age would envy: She’s the only single woman in a community of young men, and they’re all competing for her favor. Overwhelmed by the unwanted attention, Martha finds herself constantly fleeing from her would-be suitors, dismayed at what her life has come to. Birch Creek’s resident matchmaker, Cevilla Schlabach, suggests a solution: Martha and the bishop’s son, Seth Yoder, should pretend they are dating.
