Bethany Weiss has been fascinated
by Silas Beiler since he spent a couple of years in Jamesport, Missouri, before
he and his family moved to another Amish community. They hadn’t kept in touch,
but she hasn’t forgotten the friendly young man who brought her lemonade and
took her home once from a Singing years ago. When she finds a man sleeping in
her family’s barn, like Jesus sleeping in the hay, she is stunned to recognize
Silas. He’s left the Amish and is backpacking across the country. She talks him
into staying, at least until after Christmas.
Silas’ family has never been
happy living in one area for long, and their vagabond ways are wearing on him.
He’s lived in Amish communities all over the nation, moving whenever his daed
became disgruntled with the leaders, and he’s looking for some sense of
stability. His intentions are to make it back to Pennsylvania and stay with his
Englisch onkle and his family—and pursue an education. Will Bethany be the one
to bring Silas in from the cold? Or will he continue on his way to his extended
family and become Englisch?

- What do you enjoy doing for relaxation? My favorite way to relax is to curl up with a really good book – the kind that you pick up and read from start to finish because you cannot put it down. It’s that good. A bottle of ice water would be good too.
- What do you enjoy
most about writing? I love the whole thing. Mostly. I love
getting to know the characters in my head and finding out what their
stories are. I love the thrill of discovery. I love the creation process,
and finding out what the faith message is, and watching it all come
together at the end.
- What
can your readers expect from you next? I just turned in a novella
for a collection that is coming out in April or May, and I’m working on a
proposal for a new series. It’s set in an area I’ve been to, but I want to
make sure it is as accurate as possible – especially since no Amish lived
there when I was there.
