Opposites attract? Maybe not.
Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two peopleโof the same age, with the same faith, living in the same charming Pennsylvania townโcould be.
She loves history; he loves new ideas. She sticks to the rules; he likes to break them. Sheโs into saving relics; heโs into saving souls. The one trait they share is a penchant for controlling every aspect of their lives, including their stubborn hearts.
When Emilieโs search for an archaeological treasure leads her to the one piece of land she canโt 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 churchโone of the oldest of the Protestant denominationsโand 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 bookendsโopposites in every wayโuntil Emilieโs joy-filled spiritual awakening turns their stubborn hearts in the same happy direction.
