The Letters Beneath the Pear Tree

Ruthie Ebersol comes to the Yoder farm to serve her failing Aunt Salome, not to uncover a sorrow buried for thirty years. But a hidden sewing box, letters tied with black thread, and initials on a torn scrap lead her to Jonas Graber and a secret beneath the pear tree. As old records reveal a child carried away in silence, Ruthie and Jonas must choose truth over comfort and mercy over fear. With Aunt Salome fading and Isaac Borntreger’s name waiting to be restored, can old letters heal what silence wounded—and open a faithful future for two careful hearts together?
