About the Book
Englischer Charlotte Dolinsky makes plans to visit her friends in Lancaster County, hoping to heal from a recent break-up with her boyfriend, Ryan. But when a surprise visitor shows up on her doorstep in Texas, she’s forced to put aside her own worries to help her Amish friends. Within a few days, Charlotte is back in Paradise, Pennsylvania, tangled in a web of deception. But this time, she isn’t the only one keeping secrets.
Daniel Byler had hoped to be married by now, but his one true love—Edna Glick—married another man. He gets through each day with a chip on his shoulder. But when Daniel finds out two members of his family are keeping secrets, he fears for his loved ones—fears of a shunning—and possibly even death.
Charlotte and Daniel don’t care for each other much, and neither one of them is looking for romance. But when they are forced to combine their efforts to help those they love, is it possible that God is giving them a second chance at happiness?
Endorsements
Wiseman’s second series installment never loses steam, and the cliff-hanger ending will have fans lining up for the third volume. Although this may work as a stand-alone, readers will better understand the various backstories by starting with the first volume. Suggest to those seeking a more truthful, less saccharine portrayal of the trials of human life and the transformative growth and redemption that may occur as a result. – Library Journal 
The second book in the Amish Secrets series has incredible characters who are charming, caring and who will do whatever they can for those they love. The storyline moves quickly and flows evenly. Beth Wiseman writes her Amish books with kindness and respect, and her research for each of her books is impeccable. There is mention of suicide, however it does tie into the series as a whole. – RT Book Reviews About the Author 
Beth Wiseman Award-winning, best-selling author Beth Wiseman is best known for her Amish novels, but her most recent novels, Need You Now and The House that Love Built, are contemporaries set in small Texas towns. Both have received glowing reviews. Beth's highly-anticipated novel, The Promise, is inspired by a true story.

Beth Recommends: The Time Keeper by Mitch Album
What would happen if we had no way to track time? Would we slow down, speed up, or relax in a world that wasn’t always about schedules and timelines?
This thought provoking, fantasy tale about Father Time follows a young girl who doesn’t want to live anymore and an elderly man who wants to live forever. It’s a story that inspired me to really think about how I spend my time and the true value of our life while here on earth.

About the Book
Always Beautiful by Beth WisemanBecky Byler is eighteen and overweight. She is overwhelmed by the embarrassment she feels when comparing herself to other girls her age. Having lost all hope, she considers taking her own life. As she stands before rushing water, unable to swim, Becky begs God for a miracle. In just several months, Becky sees her prayers answered as food and temptation lose their hold over her. She’s finally pleased with how she looks, but does she like the person she has become? And has the man she has dreamed of been right beside her all along, loving her exactly as she is?
Always His Providence by Ruth Reid
Widow Rosa Hostetler has one month to pay her delinquent taxes before the county auctions her farm. She’s prepared to sell whatever is necessary to pay the lien, but she isn’t willing to request money from the community’s widow fund. She’s embarrassed and refuses to admit she needs help. Rosa depends on income from selling eggs, but when that income is threatened, only a miracle can help Rosa accept the kindness of a neighbor.
Always in My Heart by Mary Ellis
Hope Bowman believes God is punishing her for giving up her firstborn son when she was a teenager. She’s hidden this secret from her husband, who is thankful for their daughters but longs for a son. Hope prays desperately, but the son God sends her isn’t a new baby but the fifteen-year-old boy she gave up years ago.

Beth Recommends…
As I’ve mentioned for several months now, I haven’t been doing much personal reading. I’ve been busy with writing deadlines, family stuff, and life in general.
But I did take a book with me to the beach recently, with the intention of finishing and recommending it here, but I just can’t. I finished it because the author was a great storyteller, and I needed to see how it ended. However, the subject matter was too graphic and disturbing for my taste.
But I just started A Prayer for Owen Meany, and I have high hopes for this one! So, stay tuned until next month!
September Giveaway
I spent time at the beach twice in August. It was awesome! I did research for a new Surf’s Up novella that I’m working on while I was there. I also relaxed and spent some quality time with my handsome husband.
