Amy Clipston’s beloved Amish Homestead series is now available in one collection. A Place at Our Table Working at the fire department and running his Amish farm keeps Jamie Riehl busy. But when he meets Kayla Dienner, he is smitten. Kayla tries hard to deny her attraction to Jamie. The death of her older brother in a fire is fresh in her mind—and she can’t bear the idea of putting her heart on the line every time the sirens blare. Then tragedy strikes, and Jamie wants to extinguish any flame between him and Kayla. Can Kayla set aside her own fears to save the love she was determined to deny? Room on the Porch Swing Less than a year after her mother’s death, Laura Riehl finds herself burying another loved one: her best friend, Savilla, who dies after a brief and sudden illness. Laura feels heartbroken and alone, but her pain is nothing compared to that of Allen, the husband Savilla has left behind. When Laura offers to help Allen with his baby, he jumps at the opportunity. She’d do anything to lend a hand and to honor her best friend’s memory. Rudy, Laura’s boyfriend, is initially supportive of her plan, but the more time Laura spends with Allen, the more jealous Rudy becomes. As Laura and Allen face hardships together, their friendship takes a surprising yet comforting turn. Would falling for Allen betray the people she cares about, or would denying those feelings betray her heart? A Seat by the Hearth Priscilla Allgyer left the community to escape the expectations of Amish life. Now, years later, she is forced to return—along with her six-year-old son. As Priscilla reluctantly completes her shunning, she catches the eye of Mark Riehl, a farmer with a reputation. Wary of Mark, Priscilla barely gives him the time of day—while Mark, unused to being ignored, won’t give up the pursuit. Priscilla desperately needs a friend in Mark, even if she doesn’t realize it—and after Priscilla’s father and the bishop catch her and Mark in a compromising situation, their relationship becomes more complicated than ever. A Welcome at Our Door Cindy Riehl has watched her brothers and sister find love and happiness. But as her family has settled down and grown, Cindy has continued to grieve her mother. Since that haunting day, Cindy has struggled to find peace and wonders if the community is the place for her—and if her faith in God will ever be like it once was. When one of the Riehl cows escapes to visit another cow down the lane, Cindy chases after it and meets a handsome Englisher named Drew. As they become friends and eventually much more, she is drawn further and further away from the Amish community and the family she loves. Will Cindy find happiness of her own?

Hannah is a fifteen-year-old Amish girl who lives on her family’s farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When her family, hit hard by the Great Depression, loses their farm, Hannah’s father decides it’s time for a fresh start. Destitute but inspired by grand plans and dreams of a better future west of Lancaster, he loads his family and what little they have left into their covered wagon. They settle in North Dakota, hundreds of miles from any Amish community. Hannah’s mother does her best to be a good wife, supporting her husband as they try to build a new life in a wholly unfamiliar place. Things aren’t going quite as Hannah’s father had imagined—his visions of success are shattered by the reality that his knowledge of farming in Lancaster isn’t of much use in Midwestern soil. With the fields barren and her family on the verge of starvation, Hannah decides to take matters into her own hands. She goes into town looking for a job and finds one at a cattle ranch, where she meets charismatic ranch hand Clay Jenkins. Clay is drawn to the independent, strong-willed newcomer. As they work together at the ranch, Hannah grapples with her own feelings for Clay, an English boy. Her life is more uncertain than ever. With Hannah’s help, will her family get back on their feet and prosper in North Dakota? And what will happen with Clay Jenkins?
