The Englisch Daughter: A novel

Summary

What happens when your spouse has become a stranger?

Old Order Amish wife and mother Jemima Graber has put her marriage and young children ahead of herself for years. For the last decade she has set herself aside while her husband, Roy, invested in the family’s successful horse farm. While raising four little ones, she followed all the rules and patiently waited to finally chase a dream of her own.

But now, at the time when her dreams are about to be realized, Roy has grown distant from Jem, and she doesn’t know what to make of his unusual moods and absences. Is his erratic behavior somehow connected to the tenant in the family’s rental property, an Englisch woman Roy dated during his rumschpringe days? And if so, how far does God’s forgiveness extend in impossible situations?
