Excerpt
Gabrielle is a twenty year old Amish daughter who suffers the loss of her Mamm to kidney disease after the birth of her last child. Now Gabrielle is left the task of taking care of her Datt and her siblings, plus she must take care of the farm, getting the crops planted for the coming harvest.
Due to her father's heartbreak and his own guilt of a past, he has become a stranger to Gabrielle and her siblings, throwing raging fits and placing impossible demands upon Gabrielle. Her father drives her and one of her brothers too far, which only adds more tragedy, along with trials of storms, Gabrielle is as close to giving up as she can come, until a stranger wanders along and offers his services to help her get the crops in. One problem is he is not Amish, and her father will not allow the man to help. The story is a remarkable story of sibling love and commitment, strength and ongoing faith. Gabrielle has given up on ever finding her own love, and she commits herself to her father and siblings, but as her father battles his own demons within, the Lord is working in amazing ways to change hearts.
