Books like Hannah's joy by Marta Perry
After her soldier husband dies, Hannah and her baby son, Jamie, seek refuge in Pleasant Valley, a Mennonite community she once knew. Working in her aunt’s bakery, Hannah wrestles with whether she can embrace Amish traditions or keep her options open. There she meets William Brand, a shy furniture maker whose stutter has made him feel like an outsider. Though drawn to his quiet kindness, Hannah must weigh her future, the potential loss of her son to a military‑connected father‑in‑law, and the possibility of leaving Pretent Valley altogether. Her decision pits the stability of a simpler, loving community against the unpredictable freedom of the world beyond.
