<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In the summer of 1951, Amish woman Maggie Esh is struggling with a debilitating illness and few future prospects. When tent revival meetings come to the area, Maggie attends out of curiosity. She's been told to accept her lot in life as God's will, but the words of the evangelist begin to stir something deep inside her. Dare she hope for a brighter future?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>It's the summer of 1951, and Maggie Esh is in need of some hope. Sweet-spirited and uncommonly pretty despite struggling with chronic illness, she is used to being treated kindly by the young men of her Old Order Amish church district. Yet Maggie wishes she were more like other courting-age girls so she could live a normal, healthy life.<br/><br/>To make matters more complicated, <i>Dat</i> has recently remarried, less than a year after her mother died. And while her stepmother is kind, Rachel is much younger than <i>Mamm</i>, and she simply doesn't understand Maggie or her illness the way <i>Mamm</i> did.<br/><br/>When tent revival meetings come to the area, Maggie is curious, and the words of the Mennonite preacher challenge her to reconsider what she knows about faith. Can she learn to trust God even when hope seems a distant dream?<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b><i>Jah</i></b><b>, that was undeniably a difficult time, one that opened my eyes in countless ways.
