Description

Dreams Never Die When You Believe in Them
Phoebe Lapp's grandmother was anything but ordinary. Before her death, the eccentric elderly woman purchased three Assateague ponies, seemingly for no reason. But after her passing, Phoebe learns of her beloved grandmother's wish to start an Amish pony farm in a lovely little valley near the Adirondack Mountains for hurting Englisha children. That dream now lies with Phoebe if she decides to fulfill it, but a teaching position is available as well. Which path should she choose?

Further complicating her decision, before her passing, Grandma Lapp asked a neighbor, David Fisher, to be involved in running the farm and help Phoebe. David agrees, but his sister Ruth has yet to abandon her rumspringa, and the only reason she hasn't left the church already is because of Grandma Lapp's kindness. Unbeknownst to Phoebe, David has secret hopes of attracting her affection, but Ruth's decision to stay or jump the fence could make things difficult for him.

Phoebe knows she has choices to make—whether or not to honor her grandmother's legacy and what to do about David's growing attentions toward her. But she's not alone. God is with her every step of the way.

    By Ellen/Oceanside
    Phoebe's Gift. by Jerry .Eicher. The death of the grandmother, has left Phoebe with questions, to fulfill grandmother dreams with the ponies, or go back and teach. David, a worker, will continue with the chores and ponies for now. They were Assategue wild ponies from Maryland, and didn't belong in the quiet Amish community, most people thought. Teaching school people would either approve or disapprove of her. While the ponies, were accepting, and.had a loving nature, without worry or concern, how she wanted to be. The children wanted to sell house, ponies, but what did Phoebe want. If only she knew the plan, David comes, and he knew. Even to the grandmother had given him a year's wages, if Phoebe did accept. It was for the work with Child Protective Service. A working farm for troubled English children. No one does things like this in their community,there would be talk and whispers. Can Phoebe without training do this, and what of her plans for marriage. An entertains story of a shy Amish woman venturing into doing something the Amish wouldn't dream of doing. In doing, will there be anyone who will share the dreams her grandmother and now Phoebe has. An excellent story for all to read and enjoy. Given ARC by Net Galley for my voluntary review and my honest opinion. AUG. 1
