Bad Habit
By Portero, Alana S.
"I urge you, read Alana S.

The final book in the New Directions series delves into the complexities of a blended Amish family. Are love and faith enough to navigate through relationship tensions, homesickness, and tragedy?.

She knows she should be appreciating the big, beautiful log home that Isaac built, but sometimes even that feels like a burden - so much of it to clean, and Isaac always traipsing in with his muddy boots and clothes smelling of diesel. But those are just the surface problems. The real struggle is the same as it has been since the day she married Isaac - the long hours he spends away at his logging job and the way his son Titus seems to loathe her presence in their lives.
