Dreams Never Die When You Believe in Them
Phoebe Lapp's grandmother was anything but ordinary. Before her
death, the eccentric elderly woman purchased three Assateague
ponies, seemingly for no reason. But after her passing, Phoebe
learns of her beloved grandmother's wish to start an Amish pony
farm in a lovely little valley near the Adirondack Mountains for
hurting Englisha children. That dream now lies with Phoebe
if she decides to fulfill it, but a teaching position is available
as well. Which path should she choose?
Further complicating her decision, before her passing, Grandma Lapp
asked a neighbor, David Fisher, to be involved in running the farm
and help Phoebe. David agrees, but his sister Ruth has yet to
abandon her rumspringa, and the only reason she hasn't left
the church already is because of Grandma Lapp's kindness.
Unbeknownst to Phoebe, David has secret hopes of attracting her
affection, but Ruth's decision to stay or jump the fence could make
things difficult for him.
Phoebe knows she has choices to make—whether or not to honor her
grandmother's legacy and what to do about David's growing
attentions toward her. But she's not alone. God is with her every
step of the way.
