Publisher's Synopsis
It was a dark day for Joel Miller and his wife when the community decided to shun them. All the money that Bishop Alderman had gotten for his cow was gone, and Joel Miller had been the thief. That's what the bishop believed, and although Joel claimed he had nothing to do with the theft, judgment was swift and harsh. He and his wife were to leave. But Joel had a lovely daughter, and he couldn't stand the thought that his impressionable child would have to face the ugliness of the world outside the community. Would Esther be allowed to stay in the community, so she could continue to grow in a deeper understanding of the ways of the Amish? And if so, would her presence as the daughter of a shunned couple, really be a blessing to the community, or would it turn the whole community upside down? Can she find love and in a community that despised her parents, and could a faithful man see beyond failure and falsehood to embrace a faithful God-fearing Amish wife?Join us on an emotional journey with deep lessons of faith and honesty, and a touch of humor with the adventures of Esther Miller.
