Synopsis

A CHANCE TO FOLLOW HER HEART,
A CHOICE THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME
 
Although Sadie King is blessed with the voice of an angel, she never thought that following the song in her heart would take her far beyond the strict boundaries of her Amish faith and away from the only home she’s ever known. But during her rumspringa, one road leads to another, and suddenly she’s secretly performing with a band. Now she faces an impossible choice between the music in her heart and the traditions branded upon her soul.
 
Mike Trueherz is a dedicated young paramedic who finds a kindred spirit in Sadie. Torn between family duty and his desire to pursue a life beyond his father’s rural medical practice, he is inspired by Sadie’s honesty and courage.
 
While spring unfurls rich colors and bounty through the countryside of Lancaster County, Sadie and Mike must reconcile their families’ expectations with their own callings. Ultimately, their faith in each other and the God that has brought them together will give them the strength and the peace to take a chance—and to make the biggest decision of their lives.
 
A coming-of-age story reflecting the deepest messages of love, A Simple Spring is music for the heart.

Book #2 in the seasons of Lancaster series. This portion sums up the book nicely… “Sadie held her hands out, thinking of how she had learned to extend her fingers to reach distant keys on the piano. Manual dexterity, Katherine called it. She had learned that it was a good thing to reach out to new l......more

Goodreads review by Kathie on December 27, 2021

I did enjoy this book. I enjoyed the first book in the series, a simple winter, more perhaps because I didn’t know what to expect. After having read that one, I kind of predicted how this one would end, but I still enjoyed it. I read the first two chapters in the next book, A simple autumn, as they......more

I enjoyed this. I feel this book came at the right time for me. A good reminder to always praise God and to trust Him with the desires of your heart. (view spoiler)[I just wish it said what Sadie's plan was going to be at the end of the book. (hide spoiler)]......more
