Henrietta Miller loves animals—especially her goats. She wants to marry and have children someday, but right now her goal is to have her own business selling snacks made from goat's milk and goat's soaps. Against her the wishes of her father--who's also the bishop—she applies for a job as a veterinary assistant to earn money. Then newcomer Nicholas Byler snatches the job out from under her—or so it seems to Hen. Now Nicholas is treating Hen's beloved animals as if he knows more than her. Hen turns her frustrations toward expanding her business to include wool-producing goats, even while her aunt hatches matchmaking plans—with Nicholas Byler, no less.

My Review
What a great read to get lost in, and a page turner it became. We are with a young Amish women, unmarried, and non-traditional, at least according to her Bishop father. He figures she will never marry, and does she even know how to keep house?
Enter a Vet Tech, a young Amish man, whom is visiting the community to take care of his Grandfather, he has Alzheimer, and he is also struggling with his desires to become a Veterinary.
What a journey, filled with lots of emotions, and memories. We have some sweet romance, and some devastating happenings, but a strong community that pulls together.
The last few pages of this read has so much happening, and we wonder the outcome for these people that we now care for.
You don't want to miss this one!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
