Their Holiday Adventure Toby Yoder promised to care for his orphaned little sister the rest of her life. After all, the tragedy that took their parents and left her injured was his fault. Now he must make a three-hundred-mile trip from the hospital to the Amish community where they’ll settle down. But as they share a hired van with pretty Greta Barkman, an Amish woman with a similar harrowing past, Toby can’t bear for the trip to end. Suddenly, there’s joy, a rescued cat named Christmas and hope for their journey to continue together forever. Brides of Amish Country: Finding true love in the land of the Plain People “Do you do that often?” Greta asked. He opened his eyes and frowned. “Do I do what?” “Refuse help when you need it?” He gave her a wry smile. “Am I guilty of being prideful? I have been, but I’m learning that I can’t do everything.” Greta gathered her things. “Then stretch out on this bench and take a nap. I will keep an eye on your sister and wake you if she needs anything.” He nodded his consent. Greta moved up to one of the single seats where she could keep an eye on Marianne and on Toby. He folded his long legs on the seat and pillowed his head on his coat. It wasn’t long before his breathing became deep and even and she knew he was asleep. She had never watched a man sleeping before. At least no one younger than the elders who sometimes nodded off during the long church services. At leisure to study him, Greta assessed his features one by one, trying to decide why she was so attracted to him. The lines of strain around Toby’s eyes touched a chord within her. She wanted to see them soothed away. PATRICIA DAVIDS After thirty-five years as a nurse, Pat hung up her stethoscope to become a full-time writer.
