Summary

When Emma Wells returns to her grandmother’s house to settle the estate, she doesn’t expect the attic to hold anything more than dust. Instead, she finds a worn bonnet in an old trunk with a letter hidden in its lining. The note is addressed to Samuel, a man she’s never heard of, and it cracks open a part of her family history no one ever spoke about.
 
Her search for answers leads her to a quiet orchard and its caretaker, Luke Yates Samuel’s grandson. Guarded and carrying his own scars, Luke wants nothing to do with old letters or the memories they drag up. But as their grandparents’ story unfolds, it begins to reflect something neither Emma nor Luke can deny.
 
Bound by loss and the pull of a mystery that refuses to stay buried, they’re left with a choice: uncover the past or let it fade. And as each piece of the puzzle falls into place, one question lingers.
 
Can a love once silenced find its voice again?
 
***
 
Like every tale in Threads of Grace, their journey shows how faith, family, and devotion weave second chances into the plainest of days.
 
In Lancaster County and beyond, love often begins in quiet ways a kind gesture, a shared task, a letter left behind. Threads of Grace is a 10-book standalone Amish romance series that honors the steady strength of faith, community, and devotion. Each story stands alone yet carries the heart of Plain life, where every choice balances family, belief, and matters of love.
 
These tales follow widows learning to rebuild, siblings finding forgiveness, forbidden courtships tested by tradition, and tender beginnings after loss. They’re not about perfect endings but redemptive ones stitched with patience, resilience, and the simple rhythms of everyday life.
 
Told through shifting points of view and seasons of both joy and hardship, the series offers clean, emotionally rich stories with genuine moral stakes. Whether through quilting circles, letters, or quiet talks on the porch, Threads of Grace shows how even the simplest lives can hold extraordinary love.

    The Whisperer in Darkness is a 26,000-word novella by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written February–September 1930, it was first published in Weird Tales, August 1931.[1] Similar to The Colour Out of Space (1927), it is a blend of horror and science fiction. Although it makes numerous references to the Cthulhu Mythos, the story is not a central part of the mythos, but reflects a shift in Lovecraft's writing at this time towards science fiction. The story also introduces the Mi-Go, an extraterrestrial race of fungoid creatures.

But this year, they will be called back to Martha's Vineyard for a celebration of a different sort: their beloved matriarch Cora is getting remarried. And all the town gossips are calling him the one who got away, years ago…For renowned chef Mickey Campbell, this wedding isn’t just a welcome excuse to return to the place she first learned to cook at her grandmother’s side.

Mickey’s mother, Hedy, is still mourning the passing of her adored father three years earlier, and she isn’t sure she’s ready to welcome a new man into the fold―and she’s not certain her own thorny relationship with her mother will weather the storm of her upcoming marriage. But everyone knows a woman’s heart holds more than meets the eye. For Cora, drawing her daughter and granddaughter back to Beech House isn’t just about a ceremony, but a chance to reveal a history she has kept close to her heart for decades. As the days leading up to the wedding unfold, secrets of Cora’s past come to light-- a secret that will cause three generations of Campbell women to question marriage, motherhood, and ultimately learn to savor the delicious joy of following your own heart.
