Matched and Married

More about the book

In the small Amish town of Birch Creek, Margaret Yoder and Owen Bontrager are both determined to avoid marriage. Margaret, despite her commitment to her faith, struggles with her past rumspringa and her mother's relentless pressure to settle down. To appease her mother and escape her former friends, she returns to Birch Creek, intending to feign interest in finding a husband. Owen, like Margaret, is uninterested in marriage, especially with the influx of single women drawn by a local ad for brides. When their paths cross unexpectedly, they discover a surprising connection that complicates their intentions. Margaret is torn between her desire to remain faithful to her beliefs and her growing intrigue with Owen. As she grapples with her feelings, her mother's insistence on marriage looms large. Can Margaret suppress her emotions for Owen and conform to her mother's wishes? Or will Owen find a way to help her embrace a future that defies her past? This sweet Amish romance explores themes of love, duty, and self-discovery, offering a heartfelt journey for both characters. The story is the second in the Amish Mail-Order Bride series but can be enjoyed independently. Discussion questions for book clubs are included.
