Description

Tabitha Schrock’s unexpected return to Lancaster County sends ripples of tension and uncertainty through both her family and their Amish community. Having left during her rumspringa and now dealing with the aftermath of a divorce, Tabitha finds herself struggling to reconcile her dream of becoming a veterinarian with the strict traditions she left behind. At the same time, her sister Amanda, whose own opportunities diminished when Tabitha first departed Shepherd’s Hill, finally chooses to pursue love—despite the complicated, uncertain history of the man she sets her heart on. Meanwhile, their youngest sister Rose, whose dreams of romance and happiness seemed within reach, quickly finds herself confronted with the difficult realities of marriage, and the heavy burden of promises made before Gott and their community.

As each sister journeys through the complexities faced when balancing tradition and personal dreams, they are bound by family, love, and a shared commitment to their Amish faith. Yet, amid these challenges, each woman must ask how much she is willing to sacrifice in her quest to remain true to her community and herself.

Author Patricia Johns sensitively portrays the heartfelt struggles of three women navigating the delicate balance between personal fulfillment and Amish tradition.

Praised by renowned authors such as Suzanne Woods Fisher, who says Patricia Johns “beautifully captures the struggles of three sisters… as they navigate the push and pull of tradition,” and Leslie Gould, who commends it as “a poignant story of hope, faith, and love that shines a bright light on the Amish experience,” Green Pastures is sure to captivate readers who cherish the works of Beverly Lewis, Shelley Shepard Gray, and Cindy Woodsmall.
