As a seven-year-old girl, Lovina hadn't been given a say in the matter. Her protests had made no difference.
She'd never understood why her mother had decided that they must move away from their Amish town and start a new life in Cincinnati after Lovina's father died. The older woman had grown up here on a farm a few miles outside of town, had never lived anywhere else prior to that. But any time Lovina tried to question her mother about it, she'd always changed the subject, refusing to discuss it.
Now that Lovina had return, she was hoping to find answers at last.
