    Will returning to their Amish roots renew their faith in
    each other?
    Isaac and David never thought they’d go back to the Amish world. But when
    Isaac’s younger brother is stricken with cancer, they don’t hesitate to return.
    Their relationship is on the rocks after insecurity and fear drove a wedge
    between them in San Francisco, and David is determined to make things right.
    Yet if they thought navigating “English” life was confusing, being back in
    Zebulon is even more complicated.
    Their families are desperate to bring them back into the fold, and pressure
    from the community builds. Isaac and David yearn for a future together, but
    each day it becomes harder to hide the truth about who they really are. They’re
    caught between two worlds, and if they’re not careful it could tear them
    further apart.
    Can Isaac and David make their way back to each other—and find a place to call
    home?

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. Your author introduced
    you. Now we’d like to get to know you better. Please tell us about yourself.
    When someone dies, we say they “kicked the
    bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish,
    places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become known as a
    “Bucket List.” We’d like to know yours, please. If you haven’t made one
    before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another
    book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other
    favorite things? Here are the questions.
    What are two places
    you would like to visit before you die, and why?
    It’s so
    hard to pick. I want to go everywhere! But I really want to visit Australia
    since it seems like the farthest place I could go. I also want to visit Europe
    and take a train to all the different countries with David. He’s my boyfriend.
    One day he’ll be my husband, but we’re waiting a few years before that happens.
    Where is a place you
    would never like to return, and why?
    *shifts
    uncomfortably* Part of me wants to say Zebulon, the Amish settlement where I
    grew up. I can never live there again, but my family’s still there. So I still
    want to visit if they’ll let me.
    Who is someone you
    would like to meet, and why?
    The
    president. He’s so important, and I didn’t grow up knowing anything about the
    government. But I’m learning now.
    Who is someone you
    would like to avoid, and why?
    Mean
    people. I haven’t met many out here in the world, but I see them on TV.
    If you could time
    travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?
    I kind of
    grew up like I’d time traveled, living as though it was 150 years ago. So I’ve
    done enough time traveling! I want to stay put.
    What is your birth
    order?
    I’m the
    fourth child of eight. Right in the middle!
    Tell us about your
    favorite toy as a child.
    We didn’t
    have the kind of toys English kids have. (That’s what we called non-Amish
    people—English.) I liked spinning tops and stuff like that, but my favorite
    thing was the pen knife my big brother Aaron left for me when he ran away from
    home to go into the world. I kept it with me all the time, and I still have it.
    Describe your
    favorite food and how it’s prepared.
    Pizza! I
    have no idea how they make it, but I love to eat it. My favorite Amish food is
    shoofly pie, which is a sweet pie made of molasses. The women did all the
    cooking, so I’m not sure how it’s prepared. That’s one of the things I have to
    learn out here—how to cook.
    Tell us about your
    best friend.
    Well, my
    best friend was always Mervin Miller. We were born only a couple weeks apart,
    so we sat next to each other in church and everything. It seemed like we were
    just always friends for as long as I can remember. But he’s still in Zebulon,
    and it’s hard for him to accept that I’m gay. My boyfriend David is my best
    friend now. He’s just… *blushes*  He’s
    the best. Yeah. David’s my best friend.
