Return to Paradise

by Barbara Cameron

Published 16 February 2016

Twelve months ago, David Stoltzfus left the Amish community in Paradise, Pennsylvania--and encouraged his siblings to follow--after their father became overly stern and even abusive with them. Escaping to a new life in the Englisch world was the only way to keep one another safe. But it was not without sacrifice. When David left his father's house and community, he also left behind Lavina Zook, the woman he planned to wed.
Lavina hasn't forgiven David for abandoning her, but when David's father is diagnosed with cancer, she believes she might be the only one to lure him back to make peace . . . before it's too late. Still, forgiveness isn't easy. Even if she can get David to return, she's not sure he will forgive his father. And she's not sure she can forgive David, either.

Home to Paradise

by Barbara Cameron

Published 21 February 2017

Rose Anna Zook has watched her two older sisters marry two Stoltzfus men and has always thought she and John, the third Stoltzfus brother, would marry, make a home together, and have children. But John has other ideas. He's enjoying his Rumschpringe in the Englisch world a little too much and isn't interested in returning to the Amish community--especially to marry.
Rose Anna is determined to bring her man back into the Amish fold. John is equally determined to live his life free and unencumbered. Who will win this battle of wills? Will love prevail?
