D is for Daisy / Shelley Shepard Gray
"Early retirement never sounded so good to Mervin and Ruthie Miller. After a lifetime in Millersburg, where Mervin worked at a furniture and shed factory and Ruthie helped out at a fabric store, they have exciting plans: They're going to become "Amish Gentlemen Farmers." That means buying a 30-acre, ramshackle farm, and all that comes with it: no matter what their grown children, friends, and aching muscles think . . . Aaron Miller is worried about his parents, but there's little he can do now that he lives in Kentucky and has a baby on the way. Then his childhood best friend, Kyle Burkholder, makes a heaven-sent offer: he'll move in with Aaron's parents to teach them about raising cows, sheep, and chickens, and even give weekly reports to Aaron. The arrangement is going well: until Kyle stumbles upon Daisy Lapp who's just been in a bicycle accident. When he takes her to the hospital, he knows there's something special between them. So does Daisy. But her something special is the fact that Kyle lives on the farm she'd always dreamed of buying one day. She knows it's wrong, but she's jealous. She wants nothing to do with Kyle and politely tells him so. Still, like the Millers, Kyle's not one to give up easily. Not on himself, not on the farm, and certainly not on Daisy. With dedication and a leap of faith, the lives they envisioned just might come true . . ." -- Provided by publisher.
