Wishful Thinking

A Friendship Story by the Top Author in Amish Fiction: Leona Speicher's Dream Sister

On the day the Gingerich family moved to the Lancaster County Amish farmland, Leona Speicher gained the "sister" she had always longed for. The newcomers from Arkansas appeared to embody everything a devout Plain family should be, and Leona found herself comparing Gloria Gingerich's charming young parents to her own. As Leona's cousin showed interest in Gloria and Gloria's brother demonstrated his fondness for Leona, it seemed inevitable that the two young women would marry into each other's families, ensuring a lifelong friendship.

However, Leona's world was shattered when the Gingerich family abruptly left after being expelled from the church for reasons that remained shrouded in mystery. Despite Leona's desperate pleas, Gloria chose to leave with her family, leaving behind hearts that were broken and hopes that were dashed.

Years passed with no communication until Gloria unexpectedly reached out to Leona. Determined to bring her friend back to Lancaster County and the Amish way of life, Leona set out on a mission, much to the concern of her fiancé, the deacon's son. Will Leona's unwavering loyalty to her friend lead to her own downfall?
