  Listening to Love

  “Wiseman is at her best in this surprising tale of love and faith.”

  —Publishers Weekly

  “I always find Beth Wiseman’s books to be both tenderly romantic and thought provoking. She has a way of setting a scene that makes me feel like I’m part of an Amish community and visiting for supper. I loved the title of this book, the message about faith and God, and the heartfelt romance between Lucas and Natalie. Listening to Love has everything I love in a Beth Wiseman novel—a strong faith message, a touching romance, and a beautiful sense of place. Beth is such an incredibly gifted storyteller.”

  —Shelley Shepard Gray, bestselling author of the Seasons of Sugarcreek series

  “Listening to Love is vintage Beth Wiseman . . . Clear your calendar because you’re going to want to read this one in a single sitting.”

  —Vannetta Chapman, author of the Shipshewana Amish Mystery series

  Hearts in Harmony

  “This is a sweet story, not only of romance, but of older generations and younger generations coming together in friendship. It’s a tearjerker as well as an uplifting story.”

  —Parkersburg News & Sentinel

  “Beth Wiseman has penned a poignant story of friendship, faith, and love that is sure to touch readers’ hearts.”

  —Kathleen Fuller, author of the Middlefield Family novels
