A Season of Change

An Amish widower finds love in unexpected places.
Amish widower Jacob Miller believes it was a mistake to visit the Amish village of Pinecraft for winter vacation, especially after his daughter is struck by a car. Stranded in Sarasota until his daughter recovers, Jacob grows increasingly wary of events that unfold in his unfamiliar surroundings—including the strange curiosity of Englischer Natalie Bennett.
Natalie never thought her circus career as an aerial silks artist would end with a blown-out knee at the age of 25. She also never knew her late mother had a secret—that she was once Amish.
When Natalie meets the Millers at the Sarasota hospital, she is attracted to their warm hospitality and simple ways—and soon wonders if they can help her find her mother’s family. As Jacob and Natalie fall in love, their worlds collide. Will their differences tear them apart? Or will their love be strong enough to blend their clashing cultures?
ISLAND BREEZES
A circus performer and an Amish man. Oh, yes, that’s sure to work out – just like oil mixes well with water.
It all starts innocently enough when Natalie dresses as a clown to amuse hospitalized children. Jacob’s daughter Rebecca is one of those children.
After Natalie discovers her mother was Amish, she is drawn to this family. She continues to get closer to the Millers while trying to locate her Amish grandmother.
It turns into an impossible situation. Again it boils down to how can a circus performer and an Amish man find a way to live their love. Is there any way the two can be together?
I had it figured out long before those two did.
I loved your book, Ms Sowell. I live near Pinecraft, and am looking forward to you Seasons in Pinecraft Series, Book 2. Also, I know who you based your character of Imogene on. Her photographs are beautiful.
