This free short story e-romance is a prequel to The Pebble Creek Amish Series by Vannetta Chapman. Fans of the
series will enjoy this chance to briefly revisit Pebble Creek, and new readers
will be introduced to an Amish community that is more deeply explored in the
three full novels, A Promise for Miriam, A Home for Lydia ,
and A Wedding for Julia.
When Joseph Bontrager left Pebble Creek, all of Esther Schrock’s dreams
and hopes for the future went with him. Bravely picking up the pieces of her
broken heart, she resumed her life teaching at the schoolhouse with Miriam
King.
Now, nineteen months later, Joseph has returned. Despite her initial
excitement, Esther feels anger rise up instead of love. Will she be able to
forgive him for leaving? Forgive him for more than a year and a half of silence
without a single letter? With Miriam’s encouraging words, and despite ominous
clouds on the horizon, will Esther be able to replace the bitterness in her
heart with affection for Joseph once more?
A brief prequel to A Promise to Miriam, HOME TO PEBBLE CREEK is a sweet rekindled romance between Joseph and Esther. I enjoyed reading it, and getting to know a little about this couple. I also liked the way it was tied into the first book in the series.
The book is told more than shown, but it was still an enjoyable read. Fans of Ms. Chapman's Amish series will want to read this e-short. And it's free. 20 pages. $0.00.
