A Stranger's Gift

By Anna Schmidt

Description:

You’ll be swept away by the endearing characters created by award-winning author Anna Schmidt. On the heels of a horrific hurricane, Hester Detlef, field director for the Mennonite Disaster Service, blows into the life of self-made, shunned Amish man John Hafner. Will she find a way through his shield and into his heart? Although the hurricane has left John homeless and badly injured, the last thing he wants is some do-gooder Mennonite woman intruding in his life. Will his impatience with her intention of restoring his faith and property keep him from accepting this beguiling stranger’s kindness?

Why the author wrote this book:

I spend part of the year in Florida near the Mennonite/Amish settlement of Pinecraft--it has been my privilege to learn more about these folks and to come away with many new friends in the process.
