Hannah's Joy
Unexpected tragedy has left Hannah without her soldier husband and a home for her baby son, Jamie. Seeking refuge, she comes to live with her aunt in Pleasant Valley, a place she hasn't seen since childhood, when her parents left the Mennonite faith. Working in her aunt's bakery is a way for Hannah to get back on her feet, but she isn't sure if she can live by tradition or if she and Jamie should stay for good. She finds an unexpected, sympathetic listener in furniture maker William Brand. His stutter makes him feel like a permanent outsider in his Amish community, and he understands her loneliness. Hannah is irresistibly drawn to the shy, caring William, and her education in speech therapy makes it natural for her to want to help him speak more easily. But how can she encourage his attention when she might someday leave Pleasant Valley, and when her father-in-law, a military officer, is scheming to take Jamie away from her? As William seeks the courage to stand up for the woman who believes in him, Hannah must decide where her true home lies in the free, ever-changing world she knows, or in the simpler, loving community she's found.

- ""As a young widow Hahhah struggles to adapt to Amish customs, she enounters William Brand, who works in the furnitureshop next door. William struggles too and feels isolated from the community because of his stutter. Having studied speech threapy in college, Hannah offers to help William improve his speach, and slowly their timid friendship blossoms into deep affection. Still, Hannah is aware the the barriers between them are great. Her late husband, who came from a long line of military men, would object to Amish pacifist beliefs. How can she raise her son in a community that her deceased husband would almost certainly object to?"--P. [2] of cover."
