Chapter Five

The sun shone warm and bright in a clear azure sky, and there was barely a breeze on harvest day at her family’s farm. Annie stood outside next to her brother Josiah, watching as gray buggies drove down the lane toward the house and parked in a row in the barnyard. Other families came in horse-drawn wagons, some of which pulled farm equipment behind them. It was Monday instead of Tuesday, the day Annie and her family had expected the help. On Sunday, the community had decided to harvest their farm first after learning about her dat’s appointment with the doctor on Tuesday. When they were done with their farm, the workers would move from one neighbor’s farm property to the next, until everyone’s crops were harvested.
