By The Grace Of God (Five Contemporary & Historical Amish & Christian Stories)

With God’s Love And Faith: Western Mail Order Bride Glory Arrives On The Prairie, is an emotionally rich story about a lonely older man who lives almost hermit-like in his old cabin in the middle of the prairie. Native Americans pass by, then soldiers, then settlers in their various shapes and sizes of covered wagons. One day, an old man named Jonah shows up and Benjamin becomes his friend -- the only true one he’s had in a very long time. When Jonah gets it into his head to ‘order up’ a mail order bride, Ben helps him build a wondrous cabin filled with intricate carvings and carefully chosen decorations. Almost complete, something happens that makes Ben’s entire world collapse and he doesn’t know if he’ll survive. This is a beautiful story, and one full of Christian values and love.

The only problem is, unable to stand all of the changes in her life now that she cannot be with Jacob, Grace Ella runs off and the brothers of both families set out to find her.

A Raggedy Ann For Georgi Anna, is the story of one young woman and her family who decide to leave their Amish community in Pennsylvania and move to Illinois and to a much smaller farm.
