ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cindy Woodsmall is a veteran homeschool mom. As her children progressed in age, her desire to write grew stronger. After working through reservations whether this desire was something she should pursue, she began her writing journey. Her husband was her staunchest supporter as she aimed for what seemed impossible.<\/p>\n

Her first novel, When The Heart Cries<\/a>, released in 2006 to much acclaim and became a Christian Book Association best seller. Cindy was a 2007 ECPA Christian Book Award finalist, along with Karen Kingsbury, Angela Hunt, and Charles Martin.<\/p>\n

Her last book, When the Morning Comes<\/a>, hit the New York Times best-sellers extended list and the Christian Book Association best-sellers list.<\/p>\n

Cindy\u2019s real-life connections with Amish Mennonite and Old Order Amish families enrich her novels with authenticity.<\/p>\n

Cindy, her husband, their three sons and daughter-in-law reside in Georgia. Her husband is a registered land surveyor and a vice president at an engineering firm. Their oldest son has a bachelor\u2019s degree in nuclear medicine and works at a local hospital. Their second son and his wife are both students at the University of Georgia. Their teen-aged son keeps the household energized with his love of music, books, and writing.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Returning to the home she fled in disgrace, will Hannah find healing for the wounds of the past?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After receiving a desperate and confusing call from her sister, Hannah Lapp reluctantly returns to the Old Order Amish community of her Pennsylvania childhood.<\/p>\n

Having fled in disgrace more than two years earlier, she finally has settled into a satisfying role in the Englischer world. She also has found love and a new family with the wealthy Martin Palmer and the children she is helping him raise. But almost immediately after her arrival in Owl\u2019s Perch, the disapproval of those who ostracized her, including her headstrong father, reopens old wounds.<\/p>\n

As Hannah is thrown together with former fianc\u00e9 Paul Waddell to work for her sister Sarah\u2019s mental health, hidden truths surface about events during Hannah\u2019s absence, and she faces an agonizing decision. Will she choose the Englischer world and the man who restored her hope, or will she heed the call to return to the Plain Life\u2013and perhaps to her first love?<\/p>\n
