A Heart Without Words: An Amish and Mennonite Romance (The Quilt Shop on Hertzler Road Book 2)
About
He has spent his whole life afraid of the words that will not come. She is slowly losing the ability to hear them. Neither expects love to find a way between them.
Jonas Swarey has learned how to live without saying much.
A hardworking Amish hauler with a good reputation and a quiet faith, he has spent years keeping his greatest struggle hidden. When words matter most, his speech can fail him completely. So he has learned to work around it—to write things down, keep out of difficult conversations, and carry what he cannot say alone.
Ada Sensenig understands more about silence than most people ever will.
A capable Mennonite bookkeeper who has spent her life being the person everyone can depend on, Ada is hiding something of her own. Her hearing is failing, and she is terrified of what that loss will mean for the carefully ordered life she has built.
Yet somewhere between the Amish quilt shop on Hertzler Road and the quiet milk house where they work together, Jonas and Ada discover something neither of them expected.
They can understand each other.
Not always through words.
Sometimes through a lamp moved into the right place. A door left open. A pencil pushed across a table. A man who waits instead of filling a silence. A woman who learns that she does not have to pretend she heard something when she did not.
But loving each other may demand more than either is ready to give.
Jonas must face the deepest fear of his life and decide whether he can risk being heard—even when he knows the words may not come.
Ada must confront a future she cannot control and learn that accepting love does not make her weak or burdensome.
And both must discover whether faith means finding a way around their weaknesses—or trusting God to meet them right in the middle of them.
A Heart Without Words is a tender Amish Christian romance about faith, vulnerability, sacrifice, family, healing, and a love that grows quietly through patience and grace.
Welcome back to The Quilt Shop on Hertzler Road, where every quilt carries a story, every heart has something to mend, and sometimes the deepest words are the ones that take the longest to say.
