Hope in the Land
Ebook
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
When Henry Edison turns up in Lancaster County to survey farm
women about their domestic contributions during the 1930s, the last
thing Amish housewife Gloria Grabill has time for is the government
agent’s unending questions. Gloria’s hands are already full with a
farm to run alongside her husband, a houseful of children, and an
English neighbor, Minerva Swain, who has been trying
Gloria’s patience for forty years. Gloria’s oldest daughter, Polly,
wants nothing more than the traditional path of an Amish farmer’s
wife, but everything she does seems to push Thomas Coblentz further
away. While the Great Depression shadows the country in gloom, can
Amish and English neighbors in Lancaster County grasp the
goodness that will sustain hope?
