It is the waterfall that gave the town its name.
That is the legend most of the town knows and even brags about.
A small community of Lancaster Amish moved west, across Pennsylvania to the verdant farmland thirty miles from Lake Erie’s shore. They were a people who chose to live simply. But choosing a plain life doesn’t mean they found love any simpler.
And there, countless members of the community pledged their troth.
But for the lucky few, the magic of the falls didn’t require their belief. It brought them together, helped them overcome their difficulties and in the end, those plain couples built their life together based on Cupid’s Falls only true magic…

Paisley chose singing.
She started again as she took in the late summer landscape. She dreaded the upcoming change of seasons. It was seven o’clock on an August evening and still light out. Soon it would be dark by now. The thought was depressing.
It was still summer. There was no use borrowing trouble.
“Almost there, Boop,” Paisley called. “We’re almost home.”
She glanced at the GPS screen. The small flag that indicated their destination was finally visible.
A new beginning.
“Destination on the right,” the cheeky male Australian voice she’d programed into her GPS called.
She was suddenly reminded how Tommy used to laugh at the way she humanized machines. When he’d teased, she’d countered that everything deserved a name. She’d reminded him that he’d been a plain Thomas before they’d met. She’d taken one look at him and known that he was really a Tommy.
She fought back tears, knowing they would do no good. She’d cried until she was dry and brittle, but it hadn’t changed anything.
There was no backtracking in life.
She drove through the small town of Cupid Falls. City Hall, a florist shop, a restaurant, an antique store…
