Love's True Longing (The Amish of Lawrence County, PA: Hannah and Elam #1)
Arwilda Allshouse

A 14,000 word Sweet Christian Amish Romance Novella suitable for all ages.
Hannah has always been the tomboy of the Noll family, but she has a kind heart. She is prone to climbing trees to save stray cats and keeping her brother’s secrets, but can she trust her brother to keep hers? Hannah is standing up for her younger sister Sarah at her wedding to Simon Byler, and asks: when it is her turn? The young boys of the gmay don’t interest Hannah. Daed won’t let her travel from Lawrence to Lancaster for Rumspringa. All seems lost, and she prays, “Are you listening, God?”
Hannah is afraid that she is destined for a boring life as an old maid, digging carrots and farming. She asks God, “Isn’t there more to life than this?” But God seems irritatingly silent until the arrival of the handsome Mennonite, Elam Janz, who is acceptable to Hannah’s Amish father, as a farm hand, but not as a suitor, first because he is Mennonite and secondly, because he doesn’t work with his hands.
Elam agrees that there will be no immediate wedding. He wants to become a doctor. Thus begins the secret courtship of Hannah and Elam. Can it last four long years of college and then medical school or will Hannah’s Daed find out the secret and force her to marry another?
Although this story is part of a series, (Hannah and Elam 4 in 1 Collection)
it can be read as a stand-alone story.
The Amish of Lawrence County series is set in Western Pennsylvania, where the Amish celebrate God’s Grace with a love of the land and a life of simplicity and faith.
