"Life has not always been kind to Stella Schmucker, teaching her early to never depend on anyone but herself. Then any hope she had for love fled when her intended married another. Leaving her old life behind, Stella discovers that peace and contentment are found in nature, not people, but her passion for helping others has never changed. Simon Graber became a bishop and a widower early in life. Grief for the family lost to him has tightened his focus on his son, his close-knit Old Order Amish community, and his work. He has no time to entertain the concern of some to remarry; but when sickness comes to Cherry Grove, Simon must reach out to the next community for help. Only now, help is starting to look a lot like a second chance. Living with her silver lab companion on a quiet hillside, Stella uses her vast herbal knowledge to heal others. But when sickness calls her into the neighboring Amish community, the healer suddenly finds herself at the mercy of their bishop. Can she restore the life she worked so hard to obtain, or will the remedy for her troubled childhood be in the last place she'd ever look?" -- Page 4 of cover.
