The Amish Teacher's Gift
A Love & Promise Novel book 1
by Rachel J. Good
A Teacher's Love
Widower Josiah Yoder wants to be a good father. But it's not easy with a deaf young son who doesn't understand why his mamm isn't coming home. At a loss, Josiah enrolls Nathan in a special-needs school and is relieved to see his son immediately comforted by his new teacher, a woman whose sweet charm and gentle smile just might be the balm they both need.
With seven siblings to care for, Ada Rupp wasn't sure she wanted to take on teaching, too. But the moment she holds Nathan in her arms, she realizes she'll do all she can to help this lost little boy. Plus, it gives her a chance to spend more time with Josiah. Falling for a man in mourning may be against the rules, but his quiet strength is the support Ada never knew she needed. And, together, they could have the loving family she'd always hoped for.

The Amish Teacher's Gift
“Why don’t you come for dinner at 5:30?” Ada cut off his mumbling about being an imposition. “The girls enjoyed your company, and you can always wash dishes afterwards,” she said teasingly. |
|
Josiah laughed. “Who could pass up an invitation like that? All right, dishes it is.” He started to walk off, then turned to look at her. “Thank you.”
The look in his eyes took Ada’s breath away. His eyes overflowed with gratitude. But his gaze contained something deeper, much deeper, she couldn’t identify. As if they’d connected soul to soul.
