Return to Lancaster County
Love blooms in the Amish Seasons series
Widowed single mother Ava Jane Graber can’t believe her eyes. Her first love is back in Lancaster County. Years ago, Jeremiah did the unthinkable: left the Amish—and her—for the Navy SEALs. Now the prodigal hero wants redemption from his community, his family and from the woman he never forgot. For the ex-soldier, becoming Ava’s husband is his ultimate mission.

“Why were you hiding from me?”
She thought of that day at his farm. “I didn’t want to see you,” she said.
His eyes darkened with regret. “And now?”
She took a breath, so many emotions converging inside her head like a river stream flowing straight to her heart. “Now I’ve accepted that you’re back.”
“But you still don’t want me here.”
“You can tell that just from being around me?”
“I can see it in your eyes.”
“No matter how I feel, Jeremiah, my duty is to accept you, not judge you.”
He stared at her with eyes that held so many secrets but also a connection that couldn’t be denied. “I want you to forgive me, Ava Jane.”
How should she respond to that gentle plea? “I’m trying.”
“Gut, because I’m not going anywhere, ever again.”
She knew that.
“Are you afraid of me, Ava Jane?”
“Should I be?” she questioned him. But from the way her heart was pumping, she already knew the answer.
I did not set out to write an Amish story, but this idea came to me when I’d tried other ideas that didn’t seem to be coming together. My husband took me for a walk on the beach and I saw it in my head. I saw Jeremiah in my head, walking toward home.
When I told the idea to my husband, he asked, “Is that a thing?”
And I said, “It could be a thing. It could be a story.”
And so that is how a retired Navy SEAL returned to the community he’d left behind and found redemption and forgiveness with the people who took him back and gave him shelter. It was not an easy journey for Jeremiah and this was not an easy journey for me. But in the end, this story healed both of us.
I hope you enjoyed Jeremiah’s story and I hope that it helped you in some way on your own faith journey. I plan to write more about Campton Creek and the Amish community that has become a part of my heart. God allowed me to stumble my way into the world of the Amish and I will do my best to honor that.
Until next time, may the angels watch over you. Always.
