Marigold, a recent high school graduate with a shady past, is looking to redefine herself. She doesn’t know what she wants exactly, but college isn’t it. When she meets Abel, an Amish guy on Rumspringa, his ‘running around’ time, she didn’t plan on falling in love. She certainly didn’t plan on moving to Abel’s family farm, without him, for a summer job, and finding her place in the Amish community.
Abel, who’s moved to the city for a summer program at Jamestown, never imagined the girl he fell for would choose the life he was trying so hard to avoid. His family expects him to take over the family farm. College parties, dorm life and study groups don’t fit in with their plans for him.
In love with Abel’s family, Marigold comes clean about her past, as well as her desire to live a straightedge life. But when she decides to take vows and become for-real Amish, she starts to question her own motives, and realizes maybe she’s been running just as hard as Abel. When Abel’s dad falls sick, the family needs him home. Abel must choose between living a life for himself, or a life for others. Free on Kindle.
