Book excerpt: Bestselling authors Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould provide an unexpected surprise in The Amish Seamstress, Book 4 in the Women of Lancaster County series, which tells the stories of young Amish women as they explore their roots, connect with family, and discover true love. Izzy Mueller is an exceptional listener and gifted caregiver. She’s also a talented seamstress. As the young woman sits with her elderly patients, she quietly sews as they share their stories. She’s content with her life until circumstances reconnect her with someone she once loved. Zed Bayer, a Mennonite, is not what her family is hoping for in a spouse, and his creative interest in filmmaking is definitely at odds with her Amish upbringing. As Izzy is swept up again in Zed and renews her friendship with his sister, Ella, she begins to ask questions about her own life—her creative longings and historical interests, her relationships and desire for romance, and most importantly, her faith. What is the path God has for her? Can she learn from the past of both her family’s and Zed’s—or must she forge a completely different future of her own?

They loved the two couples living there as both couples actually have a genuine walk with their Lord and Savior, and it showed in all they do. The love bestowed upon Moses and Amelia came so natural from all four adults living there with them. Laura had been spending time with Darcy since they both gave depositions to put those responsible for Laura's abduction into the city. Darcy even asked Laura to lunch to see what there was to do in the quaint area Laura loved so much. Laura knew she could not stay long as Paula was carrying her second bobbeli and that was too much to ask of her dear friend. After all, Josh was getting bigger every day as was Paula's firstborn, Joey. However, both Paula and Amelia knew how important it was for Laura to spend time with Darcy in case a door opened so she could share Christ with her. Rachael was beaming within at the thought of being a mammi again so soon. She gave her praises to God not only for a longer life, but also for a kinskinner to share it with. Her two best friends stopped by daily for a midmorning Bible study, and it left them all invigorated to go on with their daily chores. With Jacob living and working on the Rohrer property, it gave him more time to spend with Laura.
