Marlena needed time to let things sink in. It was beyond her
how all this could possibly work out--adding the care of an infant
to her daily routine. Fortunately, it would just be until Luella
returned home from the hospital and was
stronger.
No more than a couple weeks,

Marlena Wenger's life takes an unexpected turn on the day she
learns she must care for her estranged sister's baby. Spending the
summer in Brownstown, Pennsylvania, to assist her Mennonite
grandmother, and miles from Marlena's Old Order Amish beau, she
feels out of her element in nearly every respect. Yet Marlena
determines to do her best and stay focused on her future, even as
those hopes become drastically altered.
