Three-Legged-Ladder: An Unexpected Harvest

by Susanne Box Elenbaas

Harrowing Night - Terror and Bewilderment
Elizabeth does not intend to be home alone in the rambling,
orchard house, but plans change, making way for the unthinkable.

Amusing Past - Humiliation and Veneration
Just hours after being twice humiliated by Price, the farmer’s son,
Elizabeth heeds the desperate call of three young migrants.
Suffering even greater humiliation, character rescues the rescuer.

Unpredictable Future - Despair and Amazement
Haunting Elizabeth is the intruder’s tormenting smile on a face that she shall
unwillingly encounter again. Turning to her beloved husband
she discovers that the intruder has made a stranger of him.
Right is now wrong, wrong is right, and together is alone.

Follow Elizabeth north from her cherished potato growing community to the orchards
of northwest Michigan, where the harvest reaps far more than plump, red cherries.

[Amanda Zimmerman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great storyline with a message of forgiveness and redemption. CW: rape, abortion. I give it three stars out of five because it feels like a draft was published instead of the final manuscript. Typos, grammatical errors, and misplaced commas abound, making it a bit difficult to read. I wish those distractions did not exist because it has a really great message. Highlights the imperfection of humanity, with a message not to put anyone on a pedestal, as we are all imperfect sinners.

Too far fetched! Enjoyed it being based on Northern Michigan.
