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 mama 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.

“A beautiful story of forgiveness and second chances. The Amish Teacher’s Gift might have been the first book I’ve read by Rachel J. Good, but it won’t be my last.”

—Shelley Shepard Gray, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
