Part 30 (2/2)

Dave snapped many pictures while I had my little adventure. My imagination soared as the setting for Emma Kauffman's mysterious horse and buggy accident sprang to life. The secluded area would also become the spot where Nick reveals his true intentions toward dear Rose Ann.

The lovely sun-dappled setting seemed to demand the birth of a story - a trilogy, no less. My heart and mind were also gripped by idyllic Farmdale Road, as well as scenic Cherry Hill Road, and Hollow Road, which runs through the historic Jackson's Sawmill Covered Bridge. The whole of this rural farming area in one of the oldest Old Order Amish communities in Lancaster County truly sparked my creativity, and I am thankful G.o.d led us to this most captivating place.

Special thanks to Erik Wesner, Judith Lovold, and Hank and Ruth Hershberger.

As always, I am grateful for the support of my wonderful husband and our family, and for the remarkable people at Bethany House, who create strong links in the chain from story idea to bookstores, actual or online.

To G.o.d be the glory! Soli Deo Gloria.
