Annie Weaver
returns to her Amish home and roots when her father’s buggy is hit by a car.
She drops everything and comes home to Mifflin County from Philadelphia, where
during her rumspringa, she has secretly gotten her GED and received her RN
degree.
Expecting to
nurse her father back to health, she is peeved when Samuel Yoder “a farmer with
a minimal knowledge regarding herbs and medicinal workings” shows her three
times how to dress her father’s infected wound.
Chapman has
written another warm, innocently sweet romance. Annie comes to understand
God’s intent for her life along with realizing how she can use what she has
learned to support not only her father, but to assist the rest of her
community, and even Samuel Yoder.
“Not your
average” Amish novel. Chapman incorporates not only her knowledge of all things
Amish, but of human nature and love whether found in caring for young cancer
patients in a modern hospital, but in a simple farm house where a difficult
birth calls on bravery and gentleness.
