Publisher Description
From beloved Amish writer Linda Byler, comes the sequel to The Homestead, Amish Romance set during the Great Depression.
Hannah, a feisty young Amish woman, lives on her family’s farm in North Dakota. After moving halfway across the country and struggling to land on their feet, Hannah’s family is finally feeling settled. The cattle business is doing well, and other Amish families have moved into the area.
Feeling betrayed by Clay Jenkins and unimpressed with her own father, Hannah is hesitant to trust the men around her. Jerry Riehl, intrigued by her intelligence and strong will, will try anything to earn Hannah’s respect.
Just as the local Amish community begins to thrive, a terrible drought befalls the plains. Hannah’s family tries to remain hopeful, but the continuing drought and a windmill fire devastate their business and the community. Running out of options, the Amish families decide to move back to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Hannah is faced with difficult decisions: Should she stay in North Dakota or follow the others to Lancaster? Does Jerry deserve her trust?

Disappointed
The book was disparaging to people from the South. I know a goodly number of kind, godly, well-educated people who live therre, who would do anything to help someone in need. And few people actually live in swamps. Thete are sophisticated cities and friendly small towns, not to mention many farmers who feed much of America. I used to love Bylet’s writing but this is likely my last book of hers.
