Winter's Awakening by Shelley Shepard Gray

Joshua Grabar and Gretta Hershberger are courting, but lately Joshua has seemed preoccupied and Gretta is concerned. She has joined the church and he hasn't. Will they be getting married anytime soon? Meanwhile, an Englischer family by the name of Allen has moved into the house next to the Grabars'. When Joshua sees their daughter, Lilly, he finds himself wondering if he is making the right choices. Lilly has some secrets of her own that she is struggling with. Gray has written a compelling and insightful story of human relations and their faith in God to lead them in their lives.
