A just-married Amish couple settles on a Montana homestead and experiences the excitement of beginning life together, the loneliness of distance from their family, the fear of mysterious night-time prowlers, a hostile taxpayerall shared amidst the four seasons experienced by Miriam "Joy" who was just a little girl in the popular "Miriam's Journal Series."
Writing under the pen name Carrie Bender, the author is a member of an old order group in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She also authored the Whispering Brook Series, Miriam's Journal Series, and Dora's Diary Series. Library Journal says Bender "leads readers to ponder the intimate relationship of people and nature."
If you've read one of Carrie Bender's books, you've pretty much read them all. I like them because they are sweet and gentle and there are times when sweet and gentle is what one needs.
