Fiction

Judith Graber has always been the obedient daughter. Over the years, she's taken care of her younger siblings, helped around the house, and worked in her family's store. But now Judith feels overworked, overlooked, and underappreciated, especially as the holiday season approaches. Everything changes when her father hires Ben Knox. Ben Knox is the "bad boy" of Sugarcreek. Two years ago he left town under a cloud of shame. Rumors circulated that his "rumspringa" had been filled with more than the usual harmless explorations. Sparks fly between Ben and Judith. But the last thing Judith wants to be is one more girl who falls under Ben's spell--while Ben wants Judith to realize there's more to him than his reputation. Could this Christmas season bring love and a new life for the unlikeliest pair in Sugarcreek?
