Publisher's Synopsis
Emily is a young girl - 15 years old - and just out of school. She misses being a kid, and her attitude is swelling with a sense of self importance, for she doesn't want to be subjected to the chores and responsibilities of a woman. She is a smart girl, but the Amish life is hard for her to understand. "And my prayer is that it will start to make sense more and more," said Jacob. "But, it is a hard truth. That is why it is best to be humble in our understanding as well. There are mysteries that our minds are not able to comprehend." When she meets an Englishman, she finds out the truth about the value of humility, and through an important life lesson, it begins to make sense to her. 1 Corinthians 1:28-29 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things-and the things that are not-to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.
