Gloria Grabill’s English neighbor, Minerva Swain, has been trying the Amish woman’s patience for forty years. And when Henry Edison turns up in Lancaster County to survey Amish women about their domestic contributions, the last thing Gloria has time for is Henry’s unending questions. Her hands are full with a farm to run alongside her husband and a houseful of children. Her oldest daughter, Polly, wants nothing more than the traditional path of an Amish farmer’s wife, but everything she does seems to push Thomas Coblentz further away. Despite her own hesitant attitudes, Gloria’s grit weaves together Minerva, Henry, and Polly.
