An intimate portrait of the lives of four Plain women — Mennonite, Hutterite, and Amish — as they marry, love, work, bear children, and suffer losses. Phoebe is overwhelmed with infant twins, while Faith cannot yet contemplate the idea of re-marrying after being widowed. Leah longs to have children but it doesn't seem likely; even adoption is a remote possibility. Susanna travels throughout the Midwest, offering her nursing skills, but Hilda is sent much, much further away on a mission with her new husband. Join each of these courageous women as they are engaged in the chores that make up their days, from cooking on wood stoves, sewing, baking, canning, and caring for others. And always praying for guidance. Readers who are curious about people who live without "modern conveniences" will learn that their lives are rich and full, not lacking for love or community.
