Amish Blizzards: Volume One: A Winter Surplus

Amish Blizzards: Volume One: A Winter Surplus begins with Amish schoolteacher, Abby Yoder, unpacking quarts of food and settling into her new rented farmhouse. Suddenly, a knock at the door brings a handsome Amish widower named Nathan Yoder, who had previously sent three schoolteachers packing when they had become engaged.

Nathan has secretly prayed for "that one" to come along, be devoted to teaching, and to not fall in love. However, he also has been asking God for "that other one" to come knocking, the one that will be a mother to his children and a devoted wife to him.

Abby's main purpose is for money. She had packed up and left Indiana to take the teaching job in Millersburg, Ohio, so that her blind sister can get funds to attend The School for the Blind in Louisville. Six other blind Amish girls, all of whom moved to Indiana in hopes of schooling, depend of Abby to work hard and send money home.

Abby finds herself off-track as she finds Nathan very handsome; she is intrigued by him. Nathan returns the feelings, saying that her eyes are mesmerizing. Can each fight their own desires to provide the needs for others, or will their needs be so strong that they may give in to love?
