A Simple Faith: A Lancaster Crossroads Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, OverDrive Read)
For fans of Beverly Lewis and Cindy Woodsmall, Rosalind Lauer's uplifting Lancaster Crossroads novel A Simple Faith brings together disparate lives in a warm Amish setting.
BLESSINGS BORN OF TRAGEDY
A LOVE TO HEAL ALL FEARS
Rushing to the scene of a tragic highway collision, nursing student Haley Donovan draws on her training to care for the passengers in the crumpled van. The experience wins her a place in Lancaster County's tight-knit Amish society, and draws her to kindhearted psychologist Dylan Monroe. Working side by side with Dylan, who is bringing counseling services to the small town of Halfway, Haley feels an undeniable attraction between them, yet she senses that Dylan is holding back, scarred by the wounds of his past.
Elsie Lapp, the manager of Halfway's country store, is a voice of cheer and goodwill for her customers. But Elsie's serene world spins out of control with the terrible crash, and the young woman finds herself grappling for the simple faith that has always sustained her. Her burden is eased by Ruben Zook, a neighbor known for his snide jokes. In the aftermath of the accident, Ruben reveals a tender heart that could easily sweep her away. However, Elsie carries secrets that keep her from surrendering her heart.
Exploring the ways that faith, hope, and charity bring everyone together, A Simple Faith resonates with the sweetness, purity, and power of love.

The lives of four people converge in the wake of a horrific accident in the small Pennsylvania town of Halfway: Haley, a nursing student unsure of her future career; her coworker Dylan, the social worker who is attracted to her; Elsie, who runs her family country store but longs for modernizations that would ease her work; and Ruben Zook, a known community prankster. As the four connect, faith, hope, and love begin to bloom. However, will their fragile bonds of friendship be able to overcome self-doubt, religious obligations in the small Amish community, and secrets of the heart? In the face of tragedy, the protagonists' trust in God may be the strongest connection. VERDICT Lauer's new Amish series launch is sure to be a hit with fans of her "Seasons of Lancaster County" series (A Simple Spring; A Simple Winter; A Simple Autumn) as several of the main characters in those books reappear in the new trilogy, albeit in minor roles.
