Читать книгу The Amish Marriage Bargain - Marie E. Bast - Страница 9

Dear Reader,

Like many small farmers in the Midwest, many Amish farmers are feeling the squeeze from their competitors, the large producers out west. Feeling the pinch, many small farmers have sold out and left the farm.

Thad Hochstetler is a young Amish farmer in Iowa, who banded together with other small Amish farmers to form a cooperative in order to compete and sell their milk to the big chain stores. After losing his wife shortly after childbirth, having a tornado rip through his farm, and the obligation on his mortgage, Thad is overwhelmed with debt.

May Bender’s dream had been to marry her beau, Thad Hochstetler, until it turns to dust when he jilted her and married her sister April. After April’s death, May helped care for their daughter, Leah, for a year. But with hard feelings still brewing, she decided it was time to move on with her life and relocate to Indiana. That is, until Thad offered her a marriage bargain. Now May is about to discover “that all things work together for good to them that love God” (Romans 8:28).
