Emma Wagler has learned to live without hoping too much. After being abandoned years ago, she has built a careful life in Faith’s Creek, helping her widowed father and telling herself that contentment is enough. Marriage, she believes, is not meant for everyone. When her father places a handmade hope chest in her room, Emma is unsettled. Inside is a handwritten prayer never meant for her eyes, tender words that speak to fears she has kept hidden. When Daniel Kauffman comes across the prayer by accident, Emma is mortified. But instead of stepping away, the widower remains quietly near, his patience unsettling and his kindness asking more of her than comfort ever has. Opening her heart again may require Emma to trust her faith as much as her feelings. A Prayer for Emma is the first book in The Hope Chest Prayers, a heartwarming Amish romance about gentle devotion, honest mistakes, and the courage to hope again. Each book can be read alone. Each is a complete story. They are perfect for readers who love tender Amish romances filled with faith and slow-building love. less
