A Simple Spring

For fans of Cindy Woodsmall and Beverly Lewis, Rosalind Lauer's second book in her Seasons of Lancaster series, A Simple Spring (following A Simple Winter, 10/11), is a poignant Amish story about two kindred souls who rely on each other to find the road to a life that's full of music and joy.

A CHANCE TO FOLLOW HER HEART,
A CHOICE THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

Although Sadie King is blessed with the voice of an angel, she never thought that following the song in her heart would take her far beyond the strict boundaries of her Amish faith and away from the only home she's ever known. But during her rumspringa, one road leads to another, and suddenly she's secretly performing with a band. Now she faces an impossible choice between the music in her heart and the traditions branded upon her soul.

Mike Trueherz is a dedicated young paramedic who finds a kindred spirit in Sadie. Torn between family duty and his desire to pursue a life beyond his father's rural medical practice, he is inspired by Sadie's honesty and courage.

While spring unfurls rich colors and bounty through the countryside of Lancaster County, Sadie and Mike must reconcile their families' expectations with their own callings. Ultimately, their faith in each other and the God that has brought them together will give them the strength and the peace to take a chance-and to make the biggest decision of their lives.

A coming-of-age story reflecting the deepest messages of love, A Simple Spring is music for the heart.
