WANDA E. BRUNSTETTER is the best-loved author of Amish fiction, and the poignant Brides of Lancaster County series was the launching pad for her remarkable popularity. Here, she has woven another enchanting tale about the "Plain People."

As a child, Rebekah Stoltzfus suffered a freak accident that left her legs paralyzed. Now, confined to a wheelchair, she feels she'll never measure up to the expectations of her Pennsylvania Amish community, where a woman is expected to marry and raise a family. Though she longs to be loved, she prays for a way to be self-supporting.

Daniel Beachy would like to court Rebekah, but she's convinced herself that she would be a burden to a husband, and has determined that love is not available to her. Will Rebekah's search for a miracle come true? Or, will she miss God's gift in the battle that puts her between self-pity and the determination to be independent?
