Will Katie ever stop running? Katie Walken has been running most of her life – from her Amish upbringing, from her family’s expectations, and from an arranged marriage to her childhood friend, Karl Borg. Now a successful real estate agent, Katie feels she finally has the life she always wanted. . .or does she? Karl Borg lost his love when she fled from their future in Amish country. Leaving home, too, he became an attorney specializing in real estate law. But his heart remains with the girl who ran away. When Katie and Karl are reunited out of the blue they seem to have a second chance at love. But then tragedy strikes Katie’s family and a real estate venture sets Katie and Karl on opposing sides. Will they allow God to help them face their past while still looking toward their future?

====
This is a sweet, endearing love story that will give you a taste of the Amish life. Katie escaped her Amish home when she was eighteen, leaving her future fiance Karl behind. Now, they meet again, and their romance practically resumes in the face of a major tragedy that hits Katie’s family. Karl comes to Katie’s aid, wanting to help her during this difficult time. Although it’s hard for him to forgive her past actions, he finds that he still has feelings for Katie, in spite of her past mistakes. Karl has also left the Amish community and made a career of his own. Both Karl and Katie learn about forgiveness as travel back to their Amish roots.
