Breaking new ground / Amy Clipston.

Clipston, Amy, (author.).

Summary:

In the third installment of Amy Clipston's beloved Amish Legacy series, Korey Bontrager and Savannah Zook pretend to date, only to find themselves unexpectedly falling in love. Korey, the middle Bontrager brother, has been spending time with cousins in Ohio and hasn't been home in a year. When he does return, it's clear the distance he feels from his family spans more than time and space. Plus he's the odd man out among his friends who are all dating or engaged, and he's tired of being teased for his decision to remain a bachelor. Savannah Zook has always felt the need to use her voice to speak up for her younger brother who is bullied for having a learning disability . . . even if it means the community judges her for being outspoken and blunt. But after being abandoned by a date that her friends pressured her to go on, she's ready to give up on courting altogether. When Korey gives the stranded Savannah a ride home, they quickly realize a solution to their situations and agree to pretend date each other so their friends will leave them alone. Both are relieved to find a relationship without any pressure or strings attached, but neither are prepared when their pretend feelings turn real and complicate their scheme. Will they admit their feelings for each other in time to recognize that God has had the perfect plan for them all along? -- Provided by publisher.

Then he became estranged from his older brother. But after fourteen months in Ohio, God called Korey back to Pennsylvania. Easier said than done. Back home, Korey feels left behind by his family and friends, who want to see him happily married.
