The Story of Love

By: Beth Wiseman

Narrated by: Lauren Berst

They come from different backgrounds . . . But are they destined to write a new chapter together?

With little left to tie her to her home state of Texas and yearning for a slower life, Yvonne Wilson jumps at the chance to shake things up with a move to Montgomery, Indiana. A dream job awaits her—managing an Amish bookstore for her good friends Jake and Eva. Besides the slow-paced setting and the comfort of beloved books, Yvonne hopes the change will help distract her from the emptiness she feels after the death of her fiancé.

No longer a part of the Amish community but still a resident of Montgomery, Abraham Byler finds himself in over his head with his job as a police officer combined with a new but fast-moving relationship with the wealthy and aggressive New York native Brianna Stone. When Abraham realizes that his old crush Yvonne is back in town, he’s not just in over his head—he suddenly finds himself head over heels for Yvonne—and in hot water with Brianna.

When the violence of police work comes up against his pacifist upbringing, Abraham is forced to question his original decision to leave the Amish faith for his career. Meanwhile, Yvonne is asking her own questions about why she feels such a deep peace in Montgomery—and how much that feeling has to do with Abraham and how much has to do with the workings of her own heart.

'This compelling unpredictable romance between two strong characters with complicated lives plays out beautifully, one unexpected turn after another.' --Patricia Davids, USA TODAY bestselling author of Amish romance

Uplifting

I enjoyed the characters immensely. They were relatable in their search for direction, yet not above the frey. A new follow for my reading.

Enjoyable story

A fun continuation from book 1. Great narrator, storylines, and not necessarily predictable. On to book 3!

You won’t want to stop listening!

Another heart warming story from Beth Wiseman! I love this one for unlikely love match, discovery of a relationship with God and a fun twist ending! What more could you want in a book! READ IT NOW!!

The Story of Love

Definitely recommend this great story. Lauren Berst is wonderful as the Narrator in the past books. The Author has her continuing as in all this series and others.

The Bookstore continues with the friend from Texas they met when she was trying to buy a very early book that the owner would not sell.

Enjoyable sequel

This book was no. 2 in the Amish Bookstore Novels. It had a great love story and mystery combination carried on from book 1. It was neat how they connected. I enjoyed the characters and how it showed people can change in adversity. I anxiously waiting to hear book 3 in the series.
