A heartwarming novel set in the Amish community from the author of Running Around (and Such), called “a gifted writer” by Publishers Weekly.
Lizzie Glick’s dream of teaching at the nearby school for Amish and Mennonite students has finally come true. She loves the brand-new building, the sound of the children singing, and the independence she has in the classroom. Even the occasionally unruly boys can’t ruin the excitement she feels each morning at the start of the school day.
But at home things are in turmoil. What do Dat’s sudden health problems mean for the future of their farm? And what about Lizzie’s own future? While her sisters, Emma and Mandy, are certain that Joshua and John are their perfect matches, Lizzie is conflicted when it comes to her own suitor, Stephen. For even though he says he loves her, she’s not sure he really understands her.
What will Lizzie decide? Will she continue to teach? Or will she give up that dream so her wishes for marriage and a family can come true?
Based on the author’s own experience as a member of the Amish community, this is an inspiring novel about a spirited young woman’s quest to find her place in the world.
