Opposites attract? Maybe not.

Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two peopleâ€”of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same charming Pennsylvania townâ€”could be.

She loves history; he loves new ideas. She sticks to the rules; he likes to break them. Sheâ€™s into saving relics; heâ€™s into saving souls. The one trait they share is a penchant for controlling every aspect of their lives, including their stubborn hearts.

When Emilieâ€™s search for an archaeological treasure leads her to the one piece of land she canâ€™t have (thanks to Jonas), they choose opposing sides in an engaging battle of wits. Emilie, a no-nonsense sort of woman, is determined to have her way. But Jonas is on a mission as well: He wants to hear Emilie laugh. Often.

Story Behind the Book

Though she has traveled the world, Liz Curtis Higgs is a small-town girl at heart. In Bookends, Liz invites readers to visit a place she knows well: her hometown of Lititz, nestled in the rolling hills of historic Lancaster County , Pennsylvania . Fond memories of her childhood years in the Moravian churchâ€”one of the oldest of the Protestant denominationsâ€”and her love for Lititz history and traditions serve as a solid underpinning for this lively contemporary tale. Like many couples, Emilie and Jonas resemble human bookendsâ€”opposites in every wayâ€”until Emilieâ€™s joy-filled spiritual awakening turns their stubborn hearts in the same happy direction.
