The year is 1777. America is in turmoil. And Amish life is far different than today. Pennsylvania in the late 18th century, once called William Penn’s Woods, was an assortment of different faiths living together for the first time in American history. Included in this tapestry was a small and struggling population called Amish. Surrounding this peaceful people were unavoidable threats: both Patriots and the British were pillaging land and goods for the sake of the war, young Amishmen were leaving the faith to take up arms and defend freedom. A simple walk in the untamed forests could result in death, if not from bullet or arrow, then from an encounter with a wild animal. Amid this time of tumult, Adam Wyse is fighting a personal battle. To possibly join the war efforts and leave his faith, which would mean walking away from the only woman he’s ever loved: Lena Yoder. But for that love he’s made a promise that may keep them apart permanently. When Adam withdraws from Lena, she’s forced to turn to his brother, Isaac, for support. Must Lena deny her heart’s desire to save Adam’s soul?And will life in this feral and primitive New World be more than this peace-keeping people can withstand? “There is a beautiful love story that unfolds within the pages . . . I was vested in the lives of these characters from the first page.” —BETH WISEMAN, best-selling author of The Wonder of Your Love and Plain Proposal

Love, an emotion that stirs us all, possesses the ability to shape our lives in profound and subtle ways. It serves as a wellspring of inspiration, igniting dreams and propelling us to explore the realms of our imagination. Yet, simultaneously, it anchors us in the intricate tapestry of our experiences, embracing the richness and complexity they offer. Through my collection of poems, "Love in Motion: Poems of Dreams and Fjord Fantasies," I extend an invitation to delve into the myriad dimensions of this universal theme, as witnessed through my eyes as an accomplished poet. Embark on a poetic voyage through the landscapes of the heart, where the interplay of luminosity and shadow, elation and sorrow, hope and despair, intertwine to form an unadorned tapestry of raw emotions. From the dizzying heights of rapture to the abyss of desolation and grief, these verses capture the quintessence of love—its multifaceted nature, its complications, and its reciprocation. Drawing from a vast palette of vivid imagery and metaphor, I encourage you to immerse yourself in the splendor of nature, the marvels of the human spirit, and the potency of the imagination. Together, we shall traverse the themes of love, passion, and yearning. Whether you find solace in the mesmerizing cadence of fjords or soar amidst the clouds, carried by the wings of your dreams, "Love in Motion" promises an expedition that is both exhilarating and deeply gratifying. Therefore, I implore you to join me on this journey, allowing my poems to transport you through the realms of the heart—a sojourn that shall linger within you long after the final page has been turned.
