| Summary |
Three Amish novels set during the Great Depression that "will captivate readers looking for clean Christian women's fiction with a dollop of romance" ( Publishers Weekly ). In this unique and gripping trilogy, Hannah Detweiler's struggles to reconcile her Amish faith with her fiery and rebellious spirit parallel the relentless hardships of life as a homesteader in North Dakota, including famine, blizzards, fires, and more. The Homestead : When Hannah's family, hit hard by the Great Depression, loses their Lancaster farm, Hannah's father loads his family into their covered wagon, dreaming of a better future in North Dakota. But the Midwestern soil shatters his visions of success. With the fields barren and her family on the verge of starvation, independent and stubborn Hannah is forced to seek help from charismatic ranch hand Clay Jenkins and his family. Hope on the Plains : Hannah's family is finally feeling settled. The cattle business is doing well, and other Amish families have moved into the area. Feeling betrayed by Clay Jenkins and unimpressed with her own father, Hannah is hesitant to trust the men around her. Jerry Riehl, intrigued by her intelligence and strong will, will try anything to earn Hannah's respect. Home Is Where the Heart Is : Despite tragedy and almost unimaginable hardship, Hannah and her new husband are leading their Amish friends and family in their homesteading venture. But one final blow leaves Hannah grappling with her faith, struggling to understand who she is and how she fits in to the world around her. What will it take for her to feel like she's home, like she finally belongs somewhere? |
