“Your sister thinks you should marry...”
Bethany’s face grew hot. “Husbands don’t exactly grow on trees in New Covenant.”
“Anyone you chose would be getting a fine wife.”
She looked up to study Michael’s reflection in the glass, but it wasn’t clear enough to let her see what he was thinking. “Are you making me an offer?”
“You would be getting a very poor bargain if I was.”
She turned around so she could look into his eyes. “Why do you say that?”
“Because it’s the truth.”
There was so much pain in his voice and deep in his eyes that she wanted to hold him and promise to make everything better.
She couldn’t. “What’s wrong, Michael?”
“Nothing that you can fix.”
“How do I know that if you can’t tell me what troubles you?”
“Trust me. You don’t want to know.” He turned and walked down the hall and out the back door.
He was so wrong.
Bethany wanted to know everything about Michael Shetler.
This is the first book in my new Amish series set in Maine. I hope you have enjoyed the story. In case you haven’t noticed, I am a dog lover. The remarkable Sadie Sue was patterned after my own dog Sadie. Sadly she is no longer with us but we have wonderful memories of her happy personality and relentless drive to fetch the ball, fetch the ball.
PTSD is a disorder that has been in the news a lot in recent years. Many of our soldiers are returning to civilian life crippled by this devastating disorder. More research is needed to combat this problem but therapy dogs have been shown to have a positive effect on the men and women who own them. I have limited knowledge of the disorder and this is not meant to be a tutorial on the subject. Any mistakes or incorrect assumptions are purely my own.
Blessings to all,
Patricia Davids
