Where the Heart Belongs (Gracedale Chronicles #3)
Miriam King

Ruth Hostetler is the bishop’s sister. She is steady, respected, and certain of her place in the Amish world. When Daniel Fischer, a newcomer from Chicago with a complicated past, enters their quiet community, Ruth is tasked with helping him learn their ways. But she soon discovers Daniel’s journey isn’t just about faith, it’s about redemption, loss, and the search for a home that feels real.
Daniel is not what he seems. Behind the plain clothes and careful manners lies a man scarred by betrayal and haunted by secrets. As he opens his heart to Gracedale, and to Ruth, whispers begin to stir. Can a man with a past like his ever truly be accepted?
As Ruth’s feelings deepen, she must confront the boundaries between duty and desire, tradition and trust. When Daniel’s truth finally comes to light, it shakes everything and it forces Ruth to choose between the safety of the life she knows and the risky grace of love.
