    About this ebook

    Nothing could have prepared Martha Yoder for the way things would change when her family decided they wanted to move to St Ignatius, an Amish settlement at the base of Mission Mountains. Miles away from her birth place and all she knew, she is thrown into a world where the rules were much different to the way she was raised as a child. The Old Order was precise, crimes were reprimanded and forgiveness was given for those who sought it. They had no reason to interact with Englischers or bother with their lost souls. But when she meets Jonah, the young man who returns their stolen horse, she starts to see a different side of grace. Suddenly she finds herself willing to help the destitute and she offers her services to take care of children at the shelter. All he wanted to do, was make sure that Charlie returns the horse to the newcomers at St Ignatius, what Jonah didn't expect was to meet the stubborn and fiery Martha Yoder. He was well aware of the fact that the Old Order faith was deeply embedded in her heart and mind, and goes on a mission to show her that to have truth, you have to apply grace. What he didn't expect was to fall in love…

      Nothing could have prepared Martha Yoder for the way things would change when her family decided they wanted to move to St Ignatius, an Amish settlement at the base of Mission Mountains. Miles away from her birth place and all she knew, she is thrown into a world where the rules were much different to the way she was raised as a child. The Old Order was precise, crimes were reprimanded and forgiveness was given for those who sought it. They had no reason to interact with Englischers or bother with their lost souls. But when she meets Jonah, the young man who returns their stolen horse, she starts to see a different side of grace. Suddenly she finds herself willing to help the destitute and she offers her services to take care of children at the shelter.

      All he wanted to do, was make sure that Charlie returns the horse to the newcomers at St Ignatius, what Jonah didn’t expect was to meet the stubborn and fiery Martha Yoder.  He was well aware of the fact that the Old Order faith was deeply embedded in her heart and mind, and goes on a mission to show her that to have truth, you have to apply grace. What he didn’t expect was to fall in love...

      Chapter 1

      The fog swirled low on the ground where the Mission Mountains rose from the valley floor and Martha’s heart ached. It’s been a week since their arrival at St Ignatius and still she struggled with the sudden change. Having had to leave all her friends behind, including Joseph, her life was irrevocably turned upside down. Out of the blue her parents her parents had decided it was time for change and she still had no inclination why. They were happy back in Ohio, or so she thought. Now she was thrown into this New Order where they worshiped in church buildings and where children road bicycles, and to make matters worse—there were at least three families who made use of electricity and she knows of one family who had a motor car. How could her parents even consider this to be right?

      Martha! her mother called from inside the house.

      She pretended not to hear and instead got up and walked toward the stables. Call it insolence, but right now she had no words. She wanted to go back home and if she took days or even weeks, she would make her parents see the error of their ways.

      Martha!

      God help them see, she prayed silently as her mother called for her again before turning around and heading back to the house.

      You called? she asked entering the kitchen.

      Where have you been?

      I was outside.

      Come set the table, dinner is ready.

      Martha shuffled over to the kitchen cupboard and took out three plates and the cutlery.

      Take out two more plates, Aunt Bethany and your uncle Stefan will be joining us.

      Martha took a deep breath and guarded her tongue. Ever since they arrived here all her mother could talk about was her sister. She was certain it was her mother’s idea to move here, and it was all because of Aunt Bethany. She had been a member of St Ignatius since she could remember and whenever she came to visit them out at Ohio, she would boast about the freedom the Montana Amish offered. It was the work of the devil and she despised it. But she was in no position to voice her opinion. She would however pray for God’s will to prevail. Sooner than later they will see how wrong they have been.

      Dinner was interesting to say the least and although Martha had nothing to say, her mother seemed happy. Uncle Stefan spent the evening telling her father about the new tractor he bought to work the land. By the end of the evening, Martha
