Dairy farmer Abe Stoltzfus wants to propose to Lavinia Fisher, but being a traditional Amish man, he worries about how he can provide for her. Farming can be uncertain enough, and after a bad summer storm and a serious injury from a rooftop tumble, Abe wants to wait until both he and his farm are back on their feet. Lavinia is relieved when Abe survives the fall, yet it seems like it's only the start of events that threaten their future together. But Lavinia is the daughter of a farmer and remains optimistic things will turn around. When Abe continues to drag his feet, Lavinia makes him an interesting proposal. Will Abe be able to resist it--and her?-- Back cover.
