Three Amish novels set during the Great Depression, by bestselling Amish romance author Linda Byler

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Dakota Series Trilogy by Linda Byler is a captivating collection of three Amish novels set during the Great Depression, written by bestselling Amish romance author Linda Byler.

Follow the journey of feisty and independent Hannah as she transitions from a fifteen-year-old girl travelling west with her family in a covered wagon, to experiencing marriage, tragedy, and her ongoing quest for home and belonging. In this unique and gripping trilogy, Hannah's struggles to reconcile her Amish faith with her fiery and rebellious nature mirror the relentless challenges of life as a homesteader in North Dakota. Her story unfolds amidst the backdrop of famine, blizzards, fires, and more.

The Homestead: When Hannah's family, devastated by the Great Depression, loses their farm, her father moves the family and their few remaining possessions into a covered wagon, dreaming of a better future far west of Lancaster. They settle in North Dakota, miles away from any Amish community. His visions of success are shattered, however, as he discovers his farming knowledge from Lancaster is inadequate for Midwestern soil. With barren fields and the family on the brink of starvation, the independent and stubborn Hannah seeks help from charismatic ranch hand Clay Jenkins and his family.

Hope on the Plains: Hannah's family finally feels settled as the cattle business thrives and other Amish families move into the area. Feeling betrayed by Clay Jenkins and unimpressed with her father, Hannah is hesitant to trust those around her. Jerry Riehl, attracted by her intelligence and strong will, makes every effort to earn Hannah's respect.

Home Is Where the Heart Is: Despite enduring tragedy and overwhelming hardship, Hannah and her new husband lead their Amish friends and family in their homesteading venture. But a final devastating event leaves Hannah grappling with her faith, struggling to understand her identity and place in the world. What will it take for her to feel truly at home and as though she finally belongs?
