Addie Byler may be Apple Creek's resident wallflower, but she knows she has a lot to offer—and much to be grateful for. Raised by her loving grandmother, she lives a life filled with good friends and hard work. Wary of romance, Addie assumes no man will look beyond her glasses and her tendency to talk to her rescue donkey, Snickers—until the day she finds a note from a secret admirer. A prank, most likely. But then, a second note arrives . . .

It's not that Daniel Miller doesn't like Addie, he just doesn't want to court her. She's too willful, too chatty, too odd. Yet when he learns she's been teased because she's never had a beau, he decides to send a little note of encouragement. One note leads to another. And when Addie begins replying with thoughtful messages of her own, he's struck by her sweetness and warmth.

As chilly winter melts into spring, what began as a gesture of sympathy becomes something much deeper. Daniel fears revealing the truth, but with courage, faith—and a helping hand from their close-knit community—Apple Creek's most unlikely couple may find their path to happiness . . .

      Set in Apple Creek, Ohio, this heartwarming series launch from Gray (An Amish Surprise) follows an unlikely romance between a misfit and her secret admirer. Nineteen-year-old Addie Holmes is quiet, shy, and has a pet therapy donkey, which has earned her a reputation for being odd. She’s further stigmatized because her parents abandoned her and the Amish community when Addie was young, leaving her to be raised by her Amish grandmother. Daniel Miller, Addie’s Amish former schoolmate, finds her eccentricity endearing and has grown tired of listening to his friends make fun of her, so he resolves to write her anonymous love letters to help boost her self-confidence. As they strike up a correspondence, he spends more time with her in person and discovers she has much to offer, but he fears Addie will hate him if she finds out that he has been hiding the fact that he is her pen pal. After the truth comes out, his worst fears are realized, but he determines to win back her trust. Further complicating matters, Addie’s mother returns and wants to be part of Addie’s life, leading Addie to seek God’s counsel to discern how to move forward with her mother and Daniel. Gray skillfully portrays Addie’s struggles to belong and Daniel’s growth as he comes to recognize Addie’s many gifts. This touching romance will leave readers eager for the next entry in the series.
